Mike
Pros: Nokona makes one of the highest quality gloves on the market today. The American Pro Series AMG1100KMT is expertly handcrafted and brakes in so easily by just playing catch. Remember, it's made in America and that makes a lot of difference.
Cons:
bean
Pros: What a great glove.My son loves this glove, top quality all the way.He takes pitching lessons from a former Major League Pitcher and he was impressed.Made In the USA
Cons: None
Crushers
Pros: I bought this glove for my 7 yoa son and he loves it! This is a glove he can play middle-infield with for YEARS. You can see and feel the quality. It's not "stiff" like the Rawlings gloves. Perfect...5 stars.
Cons:
Anonymous
Pros: My dad bought this glove for me and I have had it for 1 year and it is still in mint condition. it breaks in so easy. the bottom line is that nokona makes the best gloves on the markrt now
Cons:
Padres100
Pros: This is a GREAT glove. I have seen gloves that are not as good in quality sell for much higher prices. If you know nothing about Nokona gloves, go to their website and get educated. They have been making gloves longer than most people on this site have been alive. They aren't in it to be "cool". This is what they do.
Cons: Don't expect to be able to use this glove right out of the box. It's a real leather glove. That being said, because it is such high quality, the break in time is VERY short compared to those stiff gloves.
Larry
Pros: Excellent quality all around. Allot of glove for the money. Break-in has not been bad but it has taken a little longer than I expected.
Cons:
manlan
Pros: I bought this glove for my seven year old it is the best glove I have ever seen! It is well made great leather, and will last a very long time!
Cons: Price. I had it in the cart five times before I bought it! I am happy I did!

Pros: If you are a skeptic of this glove my answer is simple: Don't be. I'm looking forward to breaking this glove in as I know it will take a while. I have and older buckaroo model (AMG1200). That glove is 7 years old and is just now 'perfect'. You won't regret buying this glove. For the years it will give you, this glove is way underpriced, trust me.
Cons: Lasts long, I have to come up with excuses to buy another Nokona
Southern Sierra
Pros: A nice well-made glove that after three years shows very little wear.
Cons: Very difficult to break in. This is my son's third season and it is finally getting easier to catch with.
Gibby
Pros: I bought this glove in November 2010 and it is still playing like new. Being a high school player that is playing up to three games a week, I would recommend a second glove for practice (if you don't already have one) and use this glove for games.
Cons: Leather in the fingers can get a bit soft
MG
Pros: My 8 year old son received his Nokona 2 weeks ago - just loves it! We are still in the process of "breaking it in", however, it is forming nicely. The quality and craftsmanship is what you would expect from a Nokona - excellent! Hope to have many years of use. Thank-you to justballglove staff for the recommendation - very helpful and informative.
Cons: None.
TheOneandOnlyWill
Pros: Good fit, nice construction.
Cons: Not inexpensive.
fisherran
Pros: This glove is well made and the materials are high quality. Originally bought the 10.5 BC it was too small for my eight year old. This glove is actually two sizes bigger than the 10.5 but is the best glove in its class. The glove comes super stiff but breaks in well if done correctly; Nokona Glove conditioner than a little oil. After one treatment and a little catch this glove can be manipulated by any youth eight or older. The combination of Kangaroo and Buffalo make this glove supper soft while still retaining its shape.
Cons: The performance of this glove is stellar but it does not take to abuse well ie dugout rash and fielding grounders in the street. If you can get your child to take care of this glove it will perform and last.
baseball ninja
Pros: this glove is very durable. great for infield. im 13 and this glove is a great size.
Cons: takes a while to break-in.
BO$$
Pros: Very Durable. Well worth the price. If you are skeptical, don't be. Like I said before, well worth the money. You won't regret it.
Cons: None at all.
Sterfry
Pros: This glove is great!!! We purchased it for my 9 year old son and it was game ready in 5 days. The key is to use the Nokona glove treatment product.
Cons: None
Ds18425
Pros: Well built! Great glove and will last.
Cons: None.
Javen
Pros: This is the best glove I have ever used. Period. Been playing baseball for about 9 years and I have never seen another glove that feels this great, and performs this well. The leather is fairly light, yet sturdy and soft. This glove definitely upholds the nokona standard of excellence.
Cons: Not even one.
ball player
Pros: This glove is the best glove I have ever had. The leather is nice and thick so a hard hit doesn't hurt. It doesn't deform like other gloves. I really recommend this glove to other people because it is a one of a kind.
Cons: It takes a long time to break-in because the leather is so tough. It took me a year, but I didn't use any lubricants. The thickness of the leather makes the glove a little heavy.
G
Pros: My son got his glove 5 yrs ago when it was called the Kimera. Just sent it back to be relaced. After thousands of ground balls the glove is like his own hand. Always kept 2 balls in the pocket when not in use and still has kept its shape. We went to the factory and bought after a tour. Great father/son trip if close to north texas. Repair dept is awesome - had another Nokona that dog chewed up and the fixed it like new, when I thought it was gone.
Cons: Everyone else wants to use it.

I have an old 11.5" Nokona from 1995, best glove ever. It was practically broke in when I bought it. Im trying to find one for my 11 year old son that is broke in out of the box just like my old Nokona. What do you suggest? MP
Hello, My 10 year old son plays mostly infield positions. Pitcher, 1st, S.S., mostly. Second and third also. The coach moves them around at this age, but tends to have him at first, SS, or pitching. He has a Mizuno 11.50" glove. I'd like him to try a Nokona. Is this 11" model right for him or should he try an 11.5" model. Also, is there a youth 11 or 11.5 that is different from an adullt 11 or 11.5 or are they all the same sizes strictly determined by the inch size? Thank you and sorry for all the questions, Michael A.J.

Hi there... Is this type of leather relatively lighter or heavier than others? Or does that not make a difference? Would a 9 year-old be able to use this glove for a few years? RP
Your glove expert Sean states that this glove is good for an 8 yr old, however your glove expert Jennifer states that it's an adult glove and too large for an 8 yr old. My son is 8 and I'm evaluating thisglove for him, please advise. FT
Would you recommend this glove for an almost 11 year old playing middle infield, some outfield and pitching? He uses a Rawlings Pro Gamer Taper 10 & 3/4 inch now and it's a little too small. He's not very big, but has long, thin fingers. Micah

I would like a really durable glove for my son, he plays around 60 to 70 games a year. I'm considering this or an A2000. Would one be better than the other as far as durabilty goes, or are they similarly built. He currently has a Vinci youth glove which seemed to have broken down fairly fast. Mike

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.
