Akadema Torino APM 43 33″ Baseball Catcher’s Mitt: APM43

The exciting Torino Series by Akadema is designed for maximum performance and durability.  The Torino Series features Turin Kip Leather that is lighter with greater tensile strength.   The Torino line is one of the most prestigious luxury gloves on the field, without sacrificing the grit of the original Akadema Professional line.  The Torino Series breaks in quickly and offer playability and comfort at a much more reasonable price than our competitors.   Torino is now made with twin welts on fielders gloves.

With the patented “Stress Wedge” technology, located between the index finger and thumb, the Praying Mantis offers shock-absorbing protection for the hand against injury and sting when receiving the ball. The Praying Mantis also offers two additional “Finger Hammocks” allowing the fingers to be firmly positioned and more secure in the glove. Additional features include the “Double-sided Slim Padding” allowing for increased pocket size and easier ball retention. Uniquely designed shape allows the throwing hand easier access into the pocket, resulting in a quicker glove to hand transfer and faster times to second base. The Praying Mantis also features a “Double Flexhinge” which makes the glove snap closed on contact. With a light tan palm and a chocolate brown shell, the Torino Series performs even better than it looks. Akadema’s newest glove line features kip leather that enables the Torino Series to be 20% lighter, yet just as durable as US steerhide gloves. The Torino Series gloves break in quickly and are more durable than our competitors.
