The Kin Series: Craftsmanship × Pro Player Supervision

• Star Player Design (Fushimi Torai Model): This mitt is based on the personal specifications of Japanese professional catcher Fushimi Torai. Built on the exclusive M23 pattern, it is designed to meet the high-intensity demands of professional game-calling and receiving.

• Advanced M23 Pattern: The M23 core provides a specialized pocket depth and closure motion, balancing rapid ball transition with the secure "locking" feel necessary for high-velocity pitches.

• Ultimate Versatility: Engineered for competitive-level players, this mitt offers a refined balance of durability and professional aesthetics, making it a rare choice for catchers seeking top-tier performance in both daily training and league play.

Premium Leather & Advanced Engineering

Premium North American Steerhide

Crafted from Premium North American Steerhide, this leather undergoes specialized Japanese selection and treatment.

It provides an exceptional balance of softness for immediate playability and the extreme durability required for professional use.

Structural Innovations

• Same Leather Inside and Out: The lining is crafted from the same premium steerhide as the shell. This ensures a consistent feel throughout the mitt and significantly extends the equipment's lifespan by preventing internal wear.

• New U-Back Design: The innovative U-Back construction offers improved flexibility and a snug, ergonomic fit, allowing the mitt to move as a natural extension of the catcher's hand.

• Reinforced Pinky Support: By strengthening high-stress grip points, this reinforcement enhances stability and prevents the mitt from losing its shape during high-impact catches.

• Full-Length Finger Stalls: These provide superior coverage and improved comfort, offering better protection and a more secure internal grip for the player.
