Retiring this from my glove collection. This proud emblem. This kip leather, different from the current ones, smooth and slippery. Around the year 2000, I believe. Mizuno Pro was truly unaffordable back then. You'd only get one if you won a Koshien appearance. Heavy. Hard. Luxurious. Damaged... Is this a rhinoceros beetle? This is a "Mizuno Pro" from over 20 years ago. Compared to modern Mizuno Pro... it's hard, it's heavy, it's the worst. However, this was the top-of-the-line "glove" back then. You'd face hardball with this thick, hard leather. This kip leather. Thick. If it's just about the luxurious feel, this is definitely superior to the current custom-made hardball gloves. It's strange. The inner lining is dry and crackly. It's amazing it's lasted this long. Well, this is actually good. The catching surface has a little bit of damage. Just a little here. Otherwise, the catching surface is fine. But "this is fine." The gloves I use with damage are cheaper. It's the last one, so I'll polish it up and send it off.
