A Mizuno Legend Returns The 1980s were a major growth period for Mizuno Baseball in North America. As more professional players demanded Mizuno gloves, Japanese craftsmanship and glove technology became commonplace on big-league diamonds. The original World Win GIC-3 was part of that era, and this modern revival recreates it with the exact stampings from the original and the 1980s embroidered Mizuno patch. It's one more professional-grade glove wearing logos fans haven't seen in more than three decades. Handcrafted in Haga, Japan Every modern GIC-3 is hand built in Mizuno's Haga factory, set in the rolling hills of Japan's Hyogo prefecture. The shell is cut from Crest Hide S.B. Deluxe Deguchi leather, the same premium hide named on the glove's original palm stamp. The result is a glove that carries the look of yesterday with the build quality Mizuno is known for today.
