Excellent Glove BD Coach
Pros: The glove is clearly well made and perfect for serious youth baseball players. One week in and it’s breaking in nicely. My son will be playing with it in his next game. You cannot go wrong with a Nokona.
Cons: None.
Great glove except for durability Mark Parent
Pros: Beautiful design and craftsmanship. Good pocket for quick exchanges.
Cons: My son plays baseball almost every day, and this glove didn’t last a year. Leather is frayed, laces have broken, and lace holes are torn and stretched to the point glove could bust. He is only 10 so I thought this glove would be a good choice. If you are going to buy this length and want a glove to last, I would go 11.25” in an adult model glove.
Nokona Alpha Select 200 Kim Parent
Pros: This glove is the real deal! I ordered others and returned before getting this glove. Great quality leather still needs some breaking in ,but came nearly ready to go. If you are looking for a very well made glove this is it??
Cons: None yet

Pros: Quality leather that is easy for a youth to break in.
Cons: None
Great Glove!!!! Josh B Coach
Pros: I purchased this glove for my nine-year-old son who plays a lot of select ball. He’s on the smaller built side of a lot of the kids his age and this glove is pretty heavy compared to most gloves if not all. It is not game ready out of the wrapper. We’ve thrown each day for the last week or so and it’s breaking in nicely.
Cons: Expensive but worth it Heavy
Great golve Bryant Donathan Parent
Pros: My son loves everything about this glove! Was stiff when arrived as most gloves are but broke in very easily with just playing catch!(all natural) unlike most gloves on the market.
Cons: None
Decent Premium Glove 5 Star Son parent
Pros: This glove looks impressive, requires little to no breakin and is an excellent size—especially for the experienced young player with small hands.
Cons: My son started with the S100 and graduated to the S200. Both gloves performed well for two seasons (spring and fall). Then they rapidly lost structure becoming very flimsy and floppy. Furthermore, both gloves developed holes in the identical place on the outer palm directly below the pocket. We contacted Nokona on the S200 and they graciously beefed up the structure free of charge. Unfortunately, we were only able to get one more season out of the glove before it lost structure again. Be aware that gloves requiring little breakin will not maintain their structure over the long haul.
Nokona Alpha Select Series : S-200I youth PK player
Pros: First glove got lost by UPS , second glove was shipped in 1 day ( great service ) . My 10 year old son loves the glove , after 3 days of playing catch and some fielding , gloves performs awesome . Nokona may cost a little more but like they say - you get what you pay for . Great youth glove !!!
Cons: none
perfect glove for youth infielder wp parent
Pros: -high quality, sturdy leather -lightweight for how strudy it is -breaks in like a dream -fits youth hands well i poured hot water on it the first night and shaped it to get a little flare using a mallet and wrapped it overnight with the break in kit. next few days i used the nokona conditioner and mallet moxed with playing catch. this glove is game ready after 4 days!!!! i can tell that the leather is high quality and will hold up long term.
Cons: -a little pricey for a youth glove
baseball dad
Pros: Great glove for my 9 year old lefty. His first non-junior glove and he hit the ground running with it. A few rounds of catch in the front yard and it's practically game ready. With this mitt gone are the days of having to break-in a mitt for months before a kid can be confident to use it in a game. I'd be really hard pressed to not buy all my kids Nokona gloves from here on out. I'm trying to justify abandoning my Rawlings Trap that I've used for years and getting a Nokona of my own.
Cons: None.
Greezy
Pros: Glove arrived lightning quick. Quality is unmatched. My son was playing with it in a tournament within a week. Don't let the price scare you. Worth every penny.
Cons:
great Domingo Ayala player

How long does it take to break this glove in to have it in game ready condition? Also, would it be suitable for a 9yr old playing 10u? I want a glove that he can use the next couple years. DB
Is this glove closer to 11" or 11.25" in length? GP
I am looking at the Nokona Alpha S200 vs S200-I. My son is 9 yr old and plays short stop. What do you recommend? balldad
My son will be playing 11U (pitcher and infield). What is the age range for this glove? joshlantis
I am thirteen and play mostly second base but some pitcher, and on some occasions center field. I have a Nokona right now and love it but am thinking about getting a new glove now and in high school. I also don't know what size to get. Jake Jitsu
Is there any difference between the S-200-I and the S-200, other than the I web one the 200-I? Blue
What is the difference between the Alpha Select S-200I and the Nokona Alpha Select 11.25 Inch SV1 Youth Baseball Glove? Ken
I've been looking for a new glove for my 9 year old son. He plays travel ball for 10u. After looking at research, it seems like Nokona is the way to go. My son plays infield, outfield, and pitches. Would the S200 be good for him, and is it a 11.5 inch? Right now he is using a Mizuno power close 11.5 inch. Scott28
Is the light colored leather buffalo? Hank

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.
