Emery Technology: Innovation the Glove World Has Never Seen
Cordura Backing — Military-Grade Durability Meets the Diamond
The breakthrough innovation that sets Emery apart is their proprietary Cordura backing technology — a material new to the baseball glove world. Cordura is a military-grade fabric constructed from high-tensile strength 1000D Nylon fibers that are extraordinarily durable, water-repellant, and remarkably lightweight. Originally developed for military applications, Cordura has been engineered into Emery's glove backing to deliver structure and longevity that traditional leather-backed gloves simply cannot match. The result: a glove that performs harder, lasts longer, and feels lighter — all at once.
Japanese Kip Leather Palm — Elite Touch, Elite Control
The palm of every Emery glove is crafted from premium Japanese Kip leather — widely regarded as the finest glove leather available. Known for its tight grain structure, supple break-in, and exceptional durability, Kip leather delivers the touch and feel demanded by elite players. The combination of Japanese Kip palm and Cordura backing creates a glove that is as technically advanced as it is striking to look at.
Artisanal Craftsmanship — Gloves as Functional Art
Emery gloves are built with the same attention to detail as the finest custom equipment in professional baseball. Every model is designed as a unique piece of functional art — with purposeful colorways and finishing details that stand apart from mass-market gloves. Each glove undergoes extensive research and quality testing to ensure it meets the demands of competitive play. Emery's belief is simple: elite players have elite mindsets, and every detail of their equipment should reflect that.

Frequently Asked Questions — Emery Glove Co.
What makes Emery Glove Co. different from other glove brands?
Emery Glove Co. stands apart through a combination of proprietary Cordura backing technology, premium Japanese Kip leather palms, and small-batch artisanal craftsmanship that mass-market glove brands simply don't offer. Cordura — a military-grade, high-tensile strength 1000D Nylon fabric — has never been used as a glove backing in the baseball world before Emery introduced it, delivering unmatched durability, water resistance, and lightweight structure. The Kip leather palm is considered among the finest glove leather available, offering a tight grain, supple break-in, and exceptional feel at contact. Beyond performance, Emery treats each glove as a unique piece of functional art — designed with purposeful colorways and finishing details that reflect the player's personality. MLB All-Star Nick Castellanos' choice to wear Emery during playoff baseball is the clearest proof of what these gloves deliver.
What is Cordura backing technology and why does it matter?
Cordura is a military-grade fabric made from high-tensile strength 1000D Nylon fibers — known for extraordinary durability, water repellency, and light weight. Originally developed for military and tactical applications, Cordura has been engineered into Emery's glove backing as the first-ever use of this material in baseball gloves. Traditional gloves use leather on both the palm and the back, which adds weight and can deteriorate faster under heavy use. Emery's Cordura backing creates a glove that is lighter, more resistant to rain and moisture, and more structurally durable over time — without sacrificing feel or flexibility. Whether you're playing youth ball, competitive baseball, or slowpitch softball, a Cordura-backed glove performs at a higher level longer than anything else in the market.
Who is Nick Castellanos and why does he wear Emery gloves?
Nick Castellanos is a two-time MLB All-Star outfielder for the Philadelphia Phillies — one of the most recognizable players in professional baseball. He has worn Emery Glove Co. equipment across multiple seasons, including during high-stakes playoff games. Castellanos' relationship with Emery goes far beyond a standard endorsement: nearly every piece of equipment he wears in the field — fielding gloves, batting gloves, shin protectors, wrist protector — is crafted by Emery founder Kevin Schneider. During the 2023 playoffs, Schneider created a custom glove featuring artwork inspired by Jean-Michel Basquiat, incorporating Castellanos' sons' names beneath the palm. That level of personal investment defines what Emery stands for. When an MLB All-Star trusts a brand with his glove in the biggest moments of professional baseball, the quality speaks for itself.

Are Emery gloves suitable for slowpitch softball players?
Absolutely — Smash It Sports specifically stocks Emery gloves designed for slowpitch softball players as part of our exclusive Special Edition series. Slowpitch fielding demands a larger, well-structured glove capable of handling a 12" softball with confidence. Emery's Cordura backing provides the structural durability and weather resistance needed for long tournament days, while the Japanese Kip leather palm delivers the soft, responsive feel required for consistent fielding. Whether you're playing outfield or an infield position in competitive slowpitch, the Emery Special Edition slowpitch models deliver professional-grade performance in a glove that genuinely stands out. Explore our full slowpitch fielding gloves collection to find the right Emery for your game.
How do I break in an Emery Glove Co. fielding glove?
Emery gloves use premium Japanese Kip leather, which is known for a natural, relatively quick break-in compared to stiffer leathers. To break in your Emery glove properly: (1) Apply a small amount of quality glove conditioner to the Kip leather palm and fingers — avoid over-conditioning, which can over-soften the leather. (2) Form the pocket by placing a ball in the glove, wrapping it with a rubber band, and letting it sit overnight. (3) Play catch regularly, starting with soft toss and building to full throws, to shape the pocket to your hand naturally. (4) Avoid heat methods — microwaves, ovens, and steamers can damage Kip leather and compromise the Cordura backing. (5) Condition the leather periodically during the season to maintain suppleness and protect against moisture. The Cordura backing requires no special treatment and is naturally water-resistant. With proper break-in, your Emery glove will mold to your hand and deliver elite performance for years.
