★ No Factory New exists for any gloves — Minimal Wear is the best available condition. Low-float MW (0.06–0.08) commands a massive premium. Use our inspect tool to check the exact float of any glove.
Sport Gloves | Pandora's Boxis widely regarded as the most prestigious and expensive glove skin in CS2. Introduced during Operation Hydra in May 2016, gloves were a revolutionary addition to CS — the first cosmetic item visible in first-person view at all times. Pandora's Box features an intricate purple and teal patternwith geometric designs that stands out immediately in any loadout. The Sport Gloves model provides a clean, athletic look that showcases the Pandora's Box artwork beautifully.
Float value is significantly more important for gloves than for most weapon skins. Because gloves are always visible during gameplay — covering a large portion of the screen — wear is extremely noticeable. A high-float Minimal Wear glove (0.12–0.15) shows visible scuffing on the fingers, knuckles, and palm that a low-float copy (0.06–0.08) does not. This makes the price difference between low and high MW floats dramatic: 3–5x premiumfor the cleanest copies. For Pandora's Box specifically, the purple tones fade noticeably with higher float, making low-float copies even more desirable. Use our inspect tool to check exact float values before buying.
All gloves in CS2 share two important limitations: they cannot be Factory New (minimum float ~0.06, above FN threshold) and they have no StatTrak versions. Pattern index has minimal effect on glove appearance — unlike Case Hardened knives where pattern matters enormously, glove patterns are consistent across all seeds. This means float value is the single most important factor when evaluating any glove skin, and Pandora's Box is no exception.
