An early January day in 2023 we decided that enough was enough, we missed the old style of goalkeeper gloves. Where simplicity, grip and quality was at the forefront. So we decided to make it our mission to provide quality gloves and bring back the classics we missed.
The Founders

Tor Erik Larsen
Tor started as a goalie at the age of 9, playing for his local club Spjelkavik IL until he took the step to play in College soccer. During his tenure in the states he played for SIUE, Reading United and Grand Rapids FC. After finishing his degree at SIUE he went on a trial with Aalesunds FK, after impressing on trial he secured a two year contract in February 2022. Later that season he was also signed on loan in the second tier of norwegian football (OBOS-liga), where he got his first taste of professional games. In the fall of 2023 he also extended his contract with Aalesunds FK which will keep him at the club until the end of 2025.

Why "AEMBD"?
At a young age my Father put up a quote that has stuck in my head ever since.

Er - Is
Mulig - Possible
Bestem - Just
