Origins: The Glovemeister – Ichiro’s Mizuno Master Craftsman (VIDEO)

This offseason, Mizuno Sports invited What Pros Wear to Japan to meet one of the world’s best ballglove makers, “The Glovemeister,” Ko Kishimoto, and to see him and his glove technicians at work.

In Episode 1 of 3, we’ll find out what it takes to be the Glovemeister FROM the Glovemeister. The Glovemeister tells us how he came to be Ichiro’s Glove Craftsman. Hint: It wasn’t easy! Be sure to check out Episode 2 (How a Glove is Made) and Episode 3 (How a Bat is Made) coming soon.
