New Balance JS 1500 Wicket Keeping Gloves (2027)

The New Balance JS 1500 Wicket Keeping Gloves are a cricket wicket keeping glove built around the specifications used by England keeper Jamie Smith, making them a strong pick for committed keepers who want a serious, performance-minded glove.

The back is made from premium Analin leather, with sheep leather lining across the front of the palm for a soft, secure feel on the ball. A towel lining runs the full length of the back of the glove and the thumb, while an inner leather cuff adds comfort at the wrist. The stretchable, ventilated gusset is made from a high grade material, helping the hand move freely and stay cooler through long spells behind the stumps.

Where it matters most, there is plenty of thought in the detail. An Octopus rubber grip sheet covers the palm and T webbing, and the rubber thimbles are backed with PU foam in an ergonomic cupping design. PU reinforcement inserts add further structure to the glove.
