In Summer 2018, Nike changed the game of goalkeeper gloves by releasing the first-ever high-end strapless keeper gloves. The first-gen Nike Mercurial Touch Strapless gloves had some big problems with durability - In Summer 2020, Nike will release the third generation of their strapless gloves, which are set to fix all the big issued of the previous generations.

For the third generation of the strapless gloves, Nike changed several things to make them better, while also being more similar to traditional gloves.
The strapless entry has been changed and is now not straight but skew for a more close fit. The thumb of the gloves is now completely made of Latex for increased security and "catchability". Other parts of the gloves seem to be the same as those of the second generation.
The colorway of the black, orange-yellow and white Nike Mercurial Touch 3.0 keeper gloves is inspired by a Mercurial football boot that will be released together with them. They have a lightning Swoosh among some other 2020-21 Nike design details.
