CFX Pro Batting Glove
About the original
The Franklin CFX Pro Batting Glove uses a one-piece Pittards Digital Sheepskin leather palm with a dual-layer lycra flex bridge across the knuckles and sides for grip in all weather. Franklin Sports was founded in 1946 in Stoughton, Massachusetts, and introduced the batting glove to Major League Baseball in 1984; the company has been MLB's official batting glove supplier since 2013, and the CFX Pro is the model most commonly seen on active rosters. Construction includes a tri-curve finger design, a Tack-Fit wrist closure, and seamless fingertips. The SS2022 Supreme collab prints raised Supreme and Franklin logos on the back and closure; the underlying glove is the standard CFX Pro, which retails for $44.99.
About Franklin
Franklin Sports is an American sporting goods manufacturer founded in 1946 in Brockton, Massachusetts, by brothers Irving and Sidney Franklin, sons of Russian immigrants, who built their first products from scrap leather discarded by local shoe factories. The company supplied trigger-finger mittens to the United States military during the Korean War and partnered with Philadelphia Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt in 1983 to design a pro-grade batting glove, eventually capturing roughly 80 percent of the MLB batting glove market. Franklin is the official batting glove of Major League Baseball. Supreme's collaboration applied its logo to Franklin baseball gloves and pickleball equipment.
