Pros: Extremely well made glove. Feels better than any glove I've ever used. Conforms to your hand during breaking in, forms a terrific pocket, and looks even better after a few games than it does out of the box.
Cons: None. Best glove I've ever owned.
kiddoh

CoCo
Pros: I have owned numerous gloves from mizuno rawlings and my new nokona bloodline and none of them match up to the bloodline series i got this glove about five days ago and it is already broken in i just bought some of the nokona NLT glove conditioning oil and it was broken in within days best glove i have ever bought! only spend this kind of money if you are a serious ball player though
Cons: none very well made glove
thepitcher
Pros: The softest leather in all ball gloves. Great Color, Laces Don't Come undone. Everyone likes it.I use it for pitching. All you need to do is catch with it to break it in.
Cons: None, the best glove period. Better than the hard as rock rawlings and mizuno gloves.
Tianshu

Cons: none

Cons:
cbwu
Pros: Comfortable fit Great look Amazing leather I just received this glove and am already in love with it, the webbing and lining makes it a beautiful glove and the form recreates a great pocket for any infield position. A better product than the Rawlings Pro Preferred
Cons: Takes a while to break in, but easily worth it and I recommend breaking it in naturally
will smith
Pros: easy break in. soft leather. nice pocket. great glove for around 60-75 games depending on how you take care of it
Cons: gets loose and weak after repeated use. i played 70 games with it and its floppy and needs to b replaced. while it kept a stiff feel it was a great glove.
Tbuggin
Pros: This glove DOES NOT get weak and floppy! The reviewer above obviously doesn't know how to properly break in and maintain a baseball glove! There's no way that 70 games wore out this glove unless you cooked it or abused the leather in some way (like soaking it with some cheap oil). My glove has been through more than twice as many games and is just now getting to that "perfect" state. Clean it every week or so and lightly wipe it down with vaseline and I can assure you this'll be the best quality glove you've ever owned! If you're going to spend this kind of money on a glove, then plan on breaking it in the old fashioned way instead of using some Walmart glove gimmick. Had my glove for over 2 years now. This is a 5-star glove.
Cons: None.
phenom pitcher
Pros: this glove is okay. Not the greatest. it breaks in fast, leather is soft, and takes a beating. I also like the trapeze web.
Cons: Its not a great pitchers glove. Not really worth the money, and is very stiff at first. I got a tpx pro flare silver slugger and its way better than this glove.
Graham McKinney
Pros: It is absolutely amazing in the first year. It fits perfectely and I felt so much more confident with it. Worth every dollar.
Cons: It is starting to get floppy.
JD
Pros: This is my fourth Nokona would not purchase any other make.I have a catchers mitt firstbase mans mitt and 2 infielders gloves. these are the best I have ever used.
Cons: Can't think of one
shawn1911
Pros: Very well made glove. Breaking in nicely. Would rate it up there with the best. AND its made in the U.S.A.
Cons: Wish they made it in black
Walt Jennings
Pros: This is a great glove, especially for the price. Has a very soft feel and stiff web. This is a great glove to buy, if you want it to last.
Cons: I have none, what so ever. Great all around glove
Baseball 7
Pros: very nice glove nothing wrong and feels great. I'm a shortstop/ pitcher and like very much. Still think my A2000 was a little nicer but love the nokona.
Cons: None.
Sick Beast
Pros: Great glove. I've been playing with it for about three weeks and it is just starting to break in. It literally forms to your hand. The leather is so soft and incredibly good quality. This is truly an amazing glove. No comparison.
Cons: Top of web is a little difficult to break in.
JJ
Pros: Great Glove. Nice quality leather. One of the best Nokonas out there.
Cons: Pricy
John
Pros: By far one of the best gloves on the market. Unlike some of the other great gloves on the market the Bloodline features a compact leather that is very durable and forms to the owners hand. Unlike some other gloves this glove sticks to your hand enabling an easier form of fielding. The Bloodline is the perfect combination of soft and durable leather.
Cons: Not an exceptional amount of padding in the palm, but can easily be fixed by wearing a batting glove under the glove or simply getting used to it or catching the ball in the web.
Rawlings1999
Pros: One of Nokona's best, and that's saying something. Breaks in without oil by playing catch, a lot of catch. The glove forms to the player's hand, making it possible to develop a nice deep pocket. Great for all infield positions.
Cons: Very stiff when you first get it but it breaks in easily
Fast Freddy
Pros: I have owned Nokona Gloves since the late seventies when I was in LL. I currently own a Bloodline Catchers, 3B, 2B, 1B and Pitchers glove. They are without peer. They take a bit to break in but its worth the wait. I play Senior League ball where my team mates use the gloves that I'm not using and coach my sons teams so my gloves see an awful lot of use. They show no signs of wear even after two seasons of use. My son has a Bloodline Catchers, Pitchers (utility) and SS glove and they get abused too without issue.
Cons: None
NJFrosh
Pros: Game ready in a week and a half of heavy use, sturdy and holds its shape perfectly, REALLY comfortable and molds to your hand, American made.
Cons: A little pricey, but if you're a serious player like me it's a better value than the primo, pro preferred etc.
happy feet
Pros: mitt stays in condition for way longer than every other mitts. leather makes catching hard hit balls a lot easier. BEST BASEBALL MITT EVER MADE.
Cons: none
Anonymous

Cons: way to hevy and gets hot
bcb
Pros: it never gos bad
Cons: ?
Baseball Dad
Pros: I bought this glove for my 12 year old son and it is worth every penny. The leather and stitching are top quality and we love the "traditional" look. It took about 2 weeks of working the glove and playing catch to break it in. We're looking forward to many years of enjoyment out of this product.
Cons: Haven't found one yet.

About the Brand
Joe Phillips writes about his visit to Nokona. It was like sitting in at the plantation party in Gone with the Wind or maybe gazing from the grandstand at the “Field of Dreams” while the Black Sox players tried to work out their idled muscle kinks. And, I was gently reminded by the lines in that movie while I dug into a delicious plate of North Texas barbecue: “threshing crews eating at outdoor tables. It continually reminds us of what once was, like an Indian-head penny in a handful of new coins. . . You talk a good dream.” And here I was. . . graciously invited into this magical and charming “Field of Glove-Making Dreams” in former Comanche Indian land at Nocona, Texas. It was a warm August evening, basked in a golden harvest moon, while friends and the Nokona family paid its kindly southern regards to two of their own and two of America’s finest but relatively obscure glove makers, Bobby Storey and Elvin Ray “Ab” Lemons. You see, the pair had just completed fifty years of time-honored employment with Nocona Athletic Goods, the last of the all-American made ball glove company's. The occasion brought echoes of past successes and human contentment, but in Nocona today you still experience much the same American texture of yesterday and perhaps a glimpse into tomorrow as well.
The two stately gentlemen were being honored in a way that could have taken place in the same manner when they first reported for full-time work at Nokona, in 1952, or back even earlier, in 1933 when the company started making sports equipment. During a brief and informal presentation at the celebration, Nokona’s new sales manager called the two glove makers “Legends - because that’s what their ball gloves stood for, American know-how and pride taken in a best-made product.”
A man of few words but a marveled craftsman who could literally conjure a sows ear into a playable baseball mitt, Mr. Lemons got up and fondly recalled the several men he worked with through his half-century and of the training that had been passed along to him from his old bosses.
His counter part and just as talented, Bobby Storey, had filled in at just about every job at Nokona. Bobby, the son of the sporting goods founder, R.E. “Bob” Storey had most recently served as president and now chairman of the board of Nokona. Though past retirement age like Mr. Lemons, he’s now serving at one of his favorite roles, that of ball glove designer.
At a time for employment in this country when five years is considered a long tenure with the same company, Ab and Bobby are not even the first to complete a half-century journey with Nocona Athletics. The now deceased Jewell Brickey, hit that milestone in 1993, after joining the company during World War II. That’s the kind of devotion that employees forge into this glove-making outfit. A devoted and sustained tenure here is not rare. Last year the company advertising, displayed along with Storey and Lemons, three other employees who had garnered 40 years with Nokona, Warren Clary, Bud Meekins, and Melvin Weedin.“
I don’t have to tell you that the one constant through all the years has been baseball”, wrote W.P. Kinsella. And the most constant of ball glove makers has been Nokona, and the men and women there who keep alive the tradition of American craftsmanship of ball glove making. The spirit of glove-making is still alive and well in Nocona, Texas.
