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
Just had a glove made….Absolutely beautiful!!!
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.
Excellent story!
No one does leather as good as Japan. If nakona could start making stiffer Kip and horween leather gloves they would take over
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for keeping jobs in the USA.
Doesn't Wilson makes gloves in Chicago?
I don’t know if I missed it so please excuse me. But what is the website or a phone number so I can purchase a glove. Thank you.
I am A good sof ball player
It's a dream to have a Nokona glove,but 400$ is too high for me. I wish I won some contest or some Nokona guy was like "hey you,Greek guy,your love for baseball in a land of soccer and basketball,shall be rewarded!"
The are very nice used Nokona gloves on E-bay
Get rid of the glove pounding! We do not won’t loose leather I won’t stuff leather that will stay stuff for years like Wilson and Rawlings and Mizuno does
Too expensive
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
These Nikons gloves go for $1000 usd so somtimes the China ones are better
Why not the Only Company? Nobody cares about BAseball outside of the USA or am i wrong?
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.
You are wrong and annoying.
He’s right, baseball is very big in Asian countries as well….Nokona is the last company still making gloves in America.
Ok thanks. One always learns something new.
We even play it here in Germany 😊
If only they could stiffen there leather up to Wilson and Rawlings standard
