Description

In August 2008, Akadema did what very few American companies do these days. They brought American manufacturing home and created jobs for American craftsman. Why is this so unique? Since the 1950's the American baseball glove manufacturing industry has shrunk from an estimated five thousand jobs to less then fifty jobs in 2007. A new baseball factory has not been built in the U.S.A. by an established recognized brand in nearly two decades. The reasons for the demise are all too familiar; after the costs of wages, insurance, benefits, taxation, and regulations. These obstacles increase the products cost over three times and make it impossible to compete against foreign imports. Then why would Akadema build gloves in the U.S.A.? The ownership has a love of the game and the U.S.A. Akadema believes Americans should be able to make products which are loved and respected around the world. Our goal is to be the U.S.A.'s largest domestic baseball glove manufacturer and make the best quality product. Akadema is willing to sacrifice the bottom line. We hope you will support Akadema and it's American initiative. All products, built here in the U.S.A. or abroad, will help Akadema create more American jobs. The Patriot Series uses Precision Kip Leather that is 20% lighter and tighter grained than steer hide. This allows for easier break-in. The Patriot Kip Leather also provides more tensile strength than competing glove lines. This results in a stronger, more durable glove. Akadema: Bring Your "A-Game"! Free Shipping!

Pros: The leather is like a "DualCore" for $70 less. And unlike all the other gloves this one is made in America so you know there isn't any cheapness in the glove. Akadema is the best glove company around.

Cons: It is stiff right out of the package. But what do you expect from a really good glove. The key is, the stiffer the glove, the better the glove. This glove is an All-American.

About the Brand

In Akadema's short but remarkable history it has become one of America's hottest baseball and softball equipment company for professional, college, high school, and serious youth players. The Akadema phenomenon started with the Professional Glove Series and continues with the Reptilian®, Praying Mantis®, Pro Soft™ and Prodigy™ Glove Series as well as the Amish Wood™, Tacktion™ and Xtension® Aluminum Bat Series. Akadema's ownership attributes increasing market share to their innovative professional baseball and softball product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design to raise the level of play.

Akadema's products are manufactured for professional players but are now accessible to semi pro, college, high school, and serious youth players. Akadema products are still designed with the professional player in mind but competitively priced for the professional player at heart. So it's your turn to think like a professional, play like a professional, and use Akadema Professional!

Akadema now has both baseball and fastpitch softball advisory staffs that they work with closely to implement new ideas. Members of the baseball advisory staff include Hall of Famers Ozzie Smith and Gary Carter as well as Howard Johnson, Reggie Smith, Luis Polonia, Sandy Martinez and many others. Fastpitch stars that are on the advisory staff include Crystl Bustos and Julie Smith. The input on performance from the advisory staff gives Akadema something they cannot put a price on. Their advisors don’t talk about marketing or places to sell the gloves, they just care about performance.
