This Nokona American Kip baseball glove at 11.5 inch is hand-cut and laced in Nocona, Texas — in the same factory Nokona has been building gloves in since 1934. American Kip leather is thinner and suppler than traditional steerhide, which means the glove breaks in faster without losing pocket shape.
The 11.5-inch size is the infield pattern — shortstop, second base, third base. The web opens wide enough to see the ball through and closes smoothly for quick transfers on double plays. It’s a game-ready glove that still rewards real break-in time.
Nokona has been making baseball gloves in Nocona, Texas since 1934 — the only major baseball glove company still producing gloves in the United States. Every glove is cut, laced, and formed by hand at the Texas plant, using American kip and buffalo leather.
