Description
Akadema is the most exciting baseball and softball company in the world. Akadema's ownership attributes an increasing market share to their innovative quality professional product line in contrast to mass-produced products that have little to do with quality, feel, or design that raise the level of play. Akadema continues to revolutionize the glove industry with its unique position by position patented technology gloves. The Reptilian Claw continues the evolution and is the most innovative outfield glove on the market today. Designed specifically to raise the level of play in the outfield positions, the Reptilian Claw allows for comfort and performance. For years professional outfielders have been forcing five fingers into three small fingerstalls as well as attempting to create an artificial hinge into the thumb of their gloves to create a deeper pocket and easier close. In response the patented Reptilian Claw offers three wider finger stalls which are much larger than stalls found in regular gloves allowing all four fingers to fit comfortably toward the pinky side of the glove. The Reptilian Claw also offers Double Flexhinge for easier collapse points in the pocket. These unique features allow for more comfort, easier closing and increased pocket size. The Reptilian Claw is made of top U.S. Steer hide with 1/4" rawhide lacing and has a modified Flytrap web design. Free Shipping!

PConlon
Pros: Its a good fitting glove
Cons: The color changes nearly right when you get it dirty and it is almost impossible to keep it clean. The glove starts out looking absolutely sweet with the light grey back of the glove but after just a few months mine turned to a sickening green after diving in the outfield and getting it dirty. Not good looking at all anymoree.

Questions and Answers
Have a question about the Akadema Reptilian Series: AXX21? Ask our team of experts and they will respond within 24 hours.
or
Does this glove come in a 12.50 inch size. As my son(12) pitches and plays infield. Or do you recommend another akadema glove with trap or modified trap design. Thanks. Anthony
Anthony
This does not come in a 12.5 inch. A 12 or 12.25 inch glove would probably be better suited for a 12 or 13 year old who pitches and plays infield. The closest option would be the AJB74.
Mark
Other than price, what is the big difference(s) between the APX221 model and the AXX21 model?
Rich
The AXX21 is made of steerhide leather which is heavier and a little more durable than the Pro Soft leather. It will be harder to break in.

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.
