Key Features of the Akadema ASF 441:
Precision Cut Leather: Constructed with premium leather, the ASF 441 offers superior durability and a soft, comfortable feel right out of the box. The leather is designed to withstand the rigors of frequent play, maintaining its shape and integrity season after season.

Baseball is in our blood.
Akadema isn’t just another big sporting goods supplier cranking out the same old equipment. Akadema makes innovative gear based on an in-depth knowledge of the game from playing the game. In less than a decade, we’ve become one of the hottest baseball and softball equipment companies in America for professional, college, high school and serious youth players. And we’re just getting started.
How did it all start? A former professional baseball player, company co-founder Lawrence Gilligan recognized that there had been little or no innovation in baseball gloves for decades. So he decided to do something about it. Along with his brother Joe, Lawrence started Akadema with the purpose of designing a series of new innovative gloves that would improve a player’s performance. They added Kris Totten, a former professional player to the management team.
Among Akadema’s first innovations was the revolutionary Reptilian – a near fingerless infielder’s glove that allows for a quicker and smoother ball transfer. A new catcher’s mitt featuring “stress wedge” technology, designed with the assistance of Hall of Fame catcher Gary Carter, soon followed. Current big leaguers and baseball legends Ozzie Smith and Carl Yastrzemski have also lent their expertise to Akadema. Resulting in the design of some of the most innovative sports equipment on the market. Gear, a large portion of which is made in the USA, that helps athletes of all ages bring their “A Game” to the field and achieve a higher level of play.
For Akadema, it’s simple. If you want to make the best sports equipment, you consult the best athletes.
