Nokona Gloves - Reviews of some of the best gloves available today

Nokona gloves are some of the best available in the market today. I've said it before and I'll say it again. They are one of the first brands I'd recommend to any ballplayer or your child if you are a parent. Read below to learn a little more about the different series' available today.

BloodLine

The Nokona Bloodline gloves are a series that features a specific glove designed for each position. It uses a variety of leathers from steer, cow, to kangaroo, and buffalo. It appears, according to their website, that each glove for each position is made with a different style or combination of leathers. For example, some positions' gloves are made of lighter material, and others are made of thicker and a little bit heavier material. Each glove features a "Custom Tanned" leather and is given a "CT" number to determine which kind of leather is used in the glove.

The catcher's and 1st basemen's models of the Nokona Bloodline gloves are given the name CTX, which is the sturdier of the materials. The remaining positions are given a number, such as CT4 or CT5. I don't think that the number has any relevance to weight. For example, I don't think CT1 is the lightest, while CT8 is the heaviest. I could be wrong though.

From some of the reviews I've read about the Bloodline Nokona gloves, they seem to be liked very well among the ballplayers that use them.  One of the common themes among the reviews is that they break in very quickly. At the time of this writing (April 09') they do appear to be a bit on the pricy side. All of these models retail in the $200s. I'd love to check one out if I had the chance, and if you've got the money, I'd recommend the same for everyone else based on what I've heard.

Pro Line

Another series available in the Nokona gloves is the Pro Line group of gloves. The Pro Line gloves combine a buckskin lining with a sandstone outer leather to give it rigidity and toughness. These gloves are a little more cheap than the Bloodline series, as they retail for around $100 less. I'd still be happy to steer anyone toward choosing a Nokona glove, regardless of the model, as I've always been very impressed with all of the models I've tried on.

Kimera

The last series of the Nokona ball gloves I'll discuss is the Kimera line. Kimera is Australian for  "mixing of designs." They use an Australian word because this series features kangaroo leather as well as cow leather from the Horween Leather Company. They are lined with the Horween leather, and the kangaroo leather forms the outer part of the glove. You'll know it's a Kimera model because you'll see a kangaroo in the palm of the glove. This series has probably been the most common model of Nokona baseball gloves I've seen out and about on the fields. All of these gloves are retailing for around $184. If you've got any experience with any of the Nokona gloves, please let us know how you like it and leave a review below.
