Designed in collaboration with electric Atlanta second baseman Ozzie Albies, the A2K® OA1 Game Model glove is 11.5” to maximize control at second base, third base or shortstop. Gap welting – a section of palm leather folded between the index and middle fingers – stabilizes the pocket, and Navy Blue SuperSnakeSkin™ reduces glove weight for quick turns. Expert craftsmen in Japan triple-sort the Flawless Red Pro Stock® Select leather across the palm and H-Web for a perfect, long-lasting feel. Double Palm Construction – an extra leather layer between the palm and liner – maintains the glove’s shape to help players securely field every ground ball, pop up and line drive.
Pro Stock® Select leather hides are triple-sorted, a fine inspection process reviewing the leather at least three times to identify the top 5% for ideal qualities of softness, stretch and durability.
SuperSnakeSkin™ is a microfiber material that’s half the weight of Pro Stock Leather, but twice as durable - in an all-new textured design. Its moisture-resistance extends the longevity of the glove, and is easier to clean than traditional leather.
Expert craftsmen insert an extra layer of thin leather between the palm shell and liner, extending along the palm and fingers to enhance pocket stability, form the glove during the break-in process and maintain its shape through frequent use.
Dual Welting in Wilson gloves goes beyond a mere cosmetic effect, as it’s integrated into the liner of each infield, outfield and pitcher's model, offering better support and helping your glove hold its shape better over time.
Bold logos strip away the distractions, allowing outlined, eye-catching Wilson logos to announce a new era in the iconic story of Wilson Ball Gloves.
Manufactured entirely in Japan by craftsmen who have been making ball gloves for decades, the A2K is formed to the perfect shape over 18 hours of labor.
