The Alpha™ series glove is a top-of-the-line baseball and softball glove designed for infield and outfield positions. It boasts a combination of game-readiness durability and high performance making it suitable for players of all ages. One of the key features of the Alpha™ series is its virtually little break-in requirement. This means that the glove is ready to use right out of the box saving players the time and effort of extensive break-in periods. The glove has undergone an upgrade incorporating AmericanKIP™ and SuperSoft™ leathers to enhance its performance. The AmericanKIP™ leather used in the glove is a premium American steerhide. It shares characteristics with Japanese and European kip leather making it lightweight and well-structured. This high-performing leather is not only durable but also provides a buttery feel making it a popular choice among professional players. Another leather used in the Alpha™ series is the SuperSoft™ leather. This specialty-tanned steerhide is processed using an organic tanning method that utilizes natural materials to cure and preserve the hide. The result is a leather that offers excellent flexibility and softness enhancing the overall comfort and feel of the glove. The Alpha™ series glove features a 12 pattern making it suitable for both baseball and softball. It has a closed web design which provides added support and stability for catching and fielding. The glove is designed for adult players and features a Velcro back for easy adjustment and a secure fit. With a weight of approximately 610 grams this glove is relatively lightweight making it agile and responsive on the field. It also comes with a one-year warranty ensuring its quality and durability. The Alpha™ series glove is handcrafted with pride in the USA showcasing the attention to detail and craftsmanship that Nokona is known for. Its combination of the Alpha™ brand full-grain AmericanKIP™ and SuperSoft™ leathers and position-specific design make it a top choice for serious baseball and softball players seeking a reliable and high-performing glove.
