    Ordered a custom glove for my 10yr old grandson, it is awesome!! He is very proud of it, and it fits him, well….like a glove! Thanks Nokona for having the courage to stay in America producing leather goods by genuine craftsmen. 👍🇺🇸

    I got a Nokona glove when is was 12. I'm now 40 and that glove is still perfect. I had it re-laced twice and got new padding the second time. It was expensive but definitely worth every penny

    Purchased one for my son when he was 10 years old. He still is using it today as a dad coaching his son. He is 45 years old now. Just shows what an American made product does.

    No one does leather as good as Japan. If nakona could start making stiffer Kip and horween leather gloves they would take over

    Baseball is quite big in the Carribean and South America. And there are other companies making gloves, but outside the US. The featured company is the only one left that has their factory entirely in the USA.

    He’s right, baseball is very big in Asian countries as well….Nokona is the last company still making gloves in America.

    These gloves just arnt that good, sry. They are overweight and the leather doesn’t hold their shape. If you hold up a Rawlings or Wilson to a Nakona you can see the difference
