One of my teammates has the A2000 ,he let me try it on and it felt great! I wouldn't hesitate to buy one, I'm still happy with my Nokona and yes..I'm open minded to other great gloves...
I like Nakona a lot. Their one of the best baseball glove makers ever, and all of their gloves are made in the U. S., but so is Wilson. In my opinion the Wilson A2K and A2000 are a million times better than a Nakona bloodline. This is coming from a guy that plays on four different team including a national team.
Have fun breaking that in for the next year and a half, I have a team mate who has that same glove the entirety of last year that thing was rock hard, balls would bounce right out of it beacuse it was so stiff. Its been broken in since and its a superb glove and will last 10+ years easily if taken care of
Very simple, I'm going to buy the superior product and It doesn't matter where it's made, If the product are equal, I'm buying American 100%. It contributes to what's left of our economy, perhaps "MegaRabbit2000" is to young to understand.. let's give you an example...MegaRabbit2000 if you were making quality baseball helmets in California and so was your competition in China, who should I buy from... YOU or the "large corporation in China"? Why should I buy from you?
Why does everyone with a Nokona mention the fact that it is made in America...wtf does that have to do with how you field a ball. Lame reason to buy the glove.

@MARCOSORO I definately agree with you. The Chinese make there gloves with there own people. They skin there people and then put it on there gloves. Just playing, but getting down to the point here. Chinese crap doesnt give good quality things. They last for about 1 year or so if your lucky. Nokona American made products last so much longer and so does a lot of American products in general. Ive had a Nokona glove for 20 years and still works fine
Im 5,10 and play third base pitcher and 2nd base im deciding between a kimiro 11.5 or 12 i currently use a wilson a1000 11 inch what one would b better??
Watching all these Ball glove reviews, I'm really starting to fall for nokona. But for the past two years, i've used a Rawlings pro Preferred. In all honesty, can someone Give me a Straight up, honest answer: Which is superior?
@skateofmind6 Depends on what you like. Honestly, younger I used Rawlings and it lasted a long time until i outgrew it. I then had a Mizuno for summer fall and high school ball and it wasn't the best, I don't think i would get a mizuno again. so it comes to Rawings vs Nokona, I personally like Nokona first for it's charm, American Made, I like that aspect, I know it's kinda weird but I like the Native American guy, it gives the glove attitude. Finally, the quality is just amazing.
I played the same Wison A2000 vintage glove for 40 years -- and sold it. I now play Nokona AMG 175. Prior to this year I'd not heard of Nokona. The NOKONA USA made gloves are simply awesome and use a lot of the craftsmanship and skill once found in the old USA made Wilson gloves. Rawlings and Wilson foreign gloves are simply no comapssion to the NOKONA.
I'm still happy with the Nokona Glove, i'm sure there's better gloves out there but i happy with my decision....thanks for your comments, I'm not a ford, chevy or MBZ fan....I like BMW's...I'm not saying that the Nokona is the BMW's of gloves.....but it's a matter of taste and choice.
There are alot of brands of gloves that are made in Taiwan or Japan that not many people in the US know about besides Mizuno and SSK. Gloves made in Japan and Taiwan are in my opinion better then then US. Get rid of the american mindset of Made in USA is the best. Considering Asia dominates at baseball in global competitions. Baseball is much bigger in asian like american football in the US. I use a local Taiwan brand called Woodz. I think it's alot better then then Nokona.
@AndrewL31413 If you live in the United States you should support your country. Plus I prefer the Nokona gloves because they feel softer in the inside. Plus, they have a cooler logo.
Those gloves are pretty sick , but there' s a Mexican glove better than those two, The name is Rolin. Check it out, trust me, you will not be disapointed. and they are only about 100 buck a glove. :)
honestly, i think people think nokona is so good because its "purely American made," but in reality, gloves like Mizuno or Rawlings are vastly superior to Nokona gloves.
my nokona is the best !! it was fairly east to break in and i love it, so far so good......i rather get hard leather to break in myself, it's a great glove, but at the end of the day it's your skills that make the play....doesnt matter what glove is on your hand....
When you put on a Nokona you can feel right away this ain't no chinese made kiddy glove, those Nokonas you actually have to breake them in. Great American Made glove, thanks for the Vid!
Hey unitedjh i just bought a nakona bloodline ct4 leather 11.5 inch kangero leather your saying its harder to brake in that leather?? and i play middle infeild so its a light leather middle infeilders need so i got the nokona kangero leather?? so its hard to brake in??
@dopeboii92 ya mizuno leather is so smooth. i had the easton I-Pro 1150. it was so smooth and had no finger rings. it felt so good. too bad that no matter how much i tried to break it in, it was always too hard to squeeze closed.
just bought a nokona AMG1200 scheels select. i played several leagues and college. this is the best mit i have ever owned. before i bought it i compared it to rawlings and wilson (their top of the line gloves). i liked the nokona AMG1200 the best. i can't put it down.
I had the opposite experience. I felt the Nokona`s weren`t constructed as well as the Rawlings. The leather had a loose fit and just don`t seem like they would hold up to hard play. Rawlings are built like a rock and can take a beating...we all know that! The made in USA part is cool but only if its a superior product. Anyway,to each his own.
you are correct....sandlot edition is a different price range....when i went back to return the defective rawlings i was looking at the heart of hide....and still decided on the nokona because of two main reasons...1) small details in stiching and 2) it's made in the USA...so far so good with the nokona...but it's early in the season....
Dude,you`re comparing a $70 Rawlings Sandlot glove to a $150 Nokona??? Try comparing that Nokona to a Rawlings Heart Of The Hide...i`ll take Rawlings everytime.
Obviously this guy has not used A2000 or Pro Perffered!
