Lace-up leather boxing gloves

A different category. These are not all-purpose training gloves: this is a fight model, for maximum wrist hold and power transfer with nothing lost on the way. Matte black and metallic gold, gold-stamped logo, full-grain cowhide.

Laces or velcro: why laces?

This is the real difference. Lacing wraps and locks the wrist joint along its whole length, lining wrist and forearm up precisely for a stability velcro does not match under heavy impact. The trade-off is that laces tighten best with a partner or a coach, and adjust more slowly. It is the choice of purists and of competition. If you gear up alone day to day, the velcro version is more practical: the black and gold sparring gloves.

Full-grain cowhide

The shell is 100 % full-grain cowhide, the top layer of the hide, chosen for shape memory and longevity. It takes thousands of compressions without cracking and works with time.
