I've had a variety of gloves over the years. The a2000 is a solid glove. Wasn't a fan of their catchers mitts, though. For catching, which is what I mostly did, a Rawlings Pro Preferred was as good as it got, imo. Not even a close second. But dropping $350 or so at the start of every season had to have been brutal for my parents to stomach.

I played competitive baseball growing up, played at a good high school, and in college- graduated high school in 07 (so somewhat recent but not recent). I tell you all of that to say, I didn't know one person that liked Nokona or played with a Nokona. They were heavy and baggy once they were broken in. I get they are made in the USA, but I didn't know anyone that was a fan once they actually started using it.

I'm genuinely shocked Nokona is so popular in this thread. No one typically wore them at the high school or collegiate level. There are much better gloves out there.

I had a Rawlings Pro Preferred in high school, then upgraded to a Rawlings Primo in college. Still have that glove and love it to this day. I haven't seen a Nokona on a competitive baseball player since pre-2000.
