Our Mission
Slaps Gloves is the result of a passion years in the making. It began when Matt Walden, during a visit to Japan, discovered a baseball glove that redefined excellence for him. The glove's unparalleled craftsmanship and quality sparked a dream in Matt: to bring that same level of artistry to America. Around the same time, Jeff Fliegler, a local artist and devoted baseball fan, was captivated by Matt’s vision. Jeff saw an opportunity to merge art with sport, creating gloves that were not only functional but also uniquely beautiful. What started as a simple conversation between two dads on the baseball field evolved into a shared mission: to craft and deliver the finest gloves on the market.
