“Hand made” used to be synonymous with high quality. Glad to see that some companies have not forgotten this.

I freakin' love these baseball gloves. I own a Nokona. The leather on these gloves is surreal. I also have a high end pro Rawlings. The Nokona beats the Rawlings hands down. For what it's worth (and maybe not much) I played minor league ball and threw batting practice for a major league team for 4 years. Keep up the great work Nokona. To the Nokona employees: Thank you for your craftsmanship. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Your opinion is definitely worth something. I mean, there's no shame in not making it to the Show. You got a lot farther than what most people get to, so not only did you buy a glove or get endorsed by Nokona, you wore it in a game and actually used it on a pretty consistent basis. That definitely counts for something.

Most people don't know that if you have a problem with a Nokona glove you can send it back to them and they will repair it. I've sent them several gloves over the last 35 yrs to be restringed, repadded, and replace something just worn out from use. To me they are the best and made right here in Texas.

My first baseball glove was a Nokona. That was 1957. I was a Little League outfielder for three years with that glove. It cost $10 at the best Sporting goods store in Little Rock, Arkansas. A priceless memory.👍🏽

My father had a Nokona catchers glove in Korea during that conflict and he knew enough to use a "leather butter" on it. My older brother used it during his tour in Vietnam. I used it from Little League through my early twenties. My son's used the same catchers glove and have now passed it on to my grandsons. All of us catchers. Only had to retstring the glove about five times. We used a "saddle" leather conditioner until we found a tube of Nokana conditioner. I've repadded the glove palm during my time with it and it is still holding up. So I just wanted to say this, my Nokona glove has been as much of a part of my life as anything else. It IS a tradition. Thank you Nokona for a wonderful product.

Even when it started to get too loose, I had it restrung and kept using it until I quit playing. In 1976, my glove cost $160. I got it from the same outlet that supplied the Dodgers.

Nokona--best glove I ever used.

I was given a Nokona X2 2 years ago and now I still use it in hs and it still holds up great theses are the best gloves I know

great insight into a great process.

The name of the brand sounds more like a Korean phone than a traditional and authentic baseball glove

Peta Nocona ( whom Nocona Texas was named for) was an American Indian Chief of the Nokoni Comanche band. He married Cynthia Ann Parker(an Anglo who was kidnapped by the Comanches as a child). They had a child, Quanah Parker, who became Chief of the Comanche nation. The town of Quanah, TX is named after Quanah Parker. Can’t get much more “American” than that !

We got a Nokona glove for our son. The quality, service and overall experience is amazing. That ball glove is now being used by my younger son and we are in the process of getting a larger one made for my older son. 3 years and the pop sounds are still like it was new when catching a line drive. If you are in the process of getting a ball glove, get a Nokona, you will not regret it. My son refuses to use anything else.

Quit playing years ago but I always wanted a Nokona. It just seemed to be a part of your hand. Great job folks.

This is the best most comfortable glove

I grew up poor so instead of a hardball glove I played with a 13in softball glove all the way into high school. It hurt for a little while because softball gloves don't have as much padding but I got used to it overtime.

Are you sure that's an outfielder glove

We took a tour through the factory and bought a glove, one for our grandson . I won a glove at our family reunion. The tour was real interesting! It was fascinating to learn that this was the last factory left in America !Nokona Gloves are the best!

I have two of these gloves I used playing softball. Absolutely the best.

Rawlings is still made in the United States. The $40-50 gloves you get at Walmart and target are made in China but the pro preferred and other higher end Rawlings gloves that run $150-$499 and up are made in the United States.

PkT ok a $40 dollar glove from about 1995 still in working order means what then. Even my dads $50 glove from that period is still practically mint condition after 5 some years of use. Because apparently price means better. More like how well it’s made matters and materials. Plenty of affordable gloves the last just as well.

soooo glad to see y’all making a glove right here in the USA. Though I don’t play anymore ( artheritus & 70 ) I still have my Wilson I bought in 1968 .......... thank you for the story ❤️⚾️

i got my nokona last year, and it is far and away the best glove that I have ever purchased, and I am proud to say that! USA!

Thank you for keeping it American just like the Game!

I still have all the gloves I used in high school. A fielder's glove, a first baseman's glove and my battered old Stall & Dean catchers glove. You never know when you're gonna have a game! Wouldn't mind having one of those Nokona gloves!

25 years ago, a teammate of mine showed up with a Nokona glove, and I fell in love with it. It was made from Kangaroo leather and it was so soft. We were both lefties and he let me try out this brand new glove that didn’t even need to be broken in. I fell in love with that glove instantly. I’ve owned a lot of really nice gloves, and as a pitcher and outfielder, I would take a Nokona over anything else.

Never heard of this brand but best believe ill be acquiring one of these USA made gloves

This made me want a Nokona and I don’t even have a glove.

My 10 yo is a pitcher on D1 softball team. Been playing for 6 years. We bought her a Nokona and have it engraved with her name. It is a beautiful glove and she’ll be able to use it for a lifetime. Gonna buy my tballer daughter one next. Thanks for the great product.

i have lived in nocona since i was about 3 years old and played baseball since then i love knowing that where im basically from is so known because of my favorite sport and its most important equipment, nocona is a great place historically and the nokona glove is a big reason for that

Now im going to have to go on a “how its made” binge lol...

This is the only glove that my kids have used since they were 5 years old. They’re now 15 and 16 but, my 5 year old now is going to use his older brothers glove. It’s so neat to be able to see pictures of them with the same glove 10 years apart. One of the best investments I’ve made.
