High-topGum soleEssential
The essentials: high-top boxing boots with a gradient upper, red into blue or black into white, and a ray pattern printed across the top of the shaft. Suede reinforced toe, gum rubber sole. 12 sizes, EU 35 to 46 (UK 2.5 to 11.5). €79, free shipping.
A gradient upper reads differently at every distance: one colour from across the gym, two as you approach, and the ray pattern only from a metre away.
Two gradients
Red into blue, or black into white. The transition runs up the shaft, with a printed ray pattern over the top section.
Gum rubber sole
Thin, flat and smooth, with no cleats. Gum is natural rubber left without carbon black, which is what makes it grip on canvas and parquet — and what keeps it from streaking a light floor.

Frequently asked questions
How tall is a high-top boxing boot?
Above 20 cm / 8 in from the ground to the collar edge, which puts it on the lower calf. A mid-top runs 15 to 20 cm, a low-top around 10 cm.
How do you look after a printed boxing shoe?
A damp cloth after the session. The pattern is printed into the textile rather than laid on top, so plain water is all it needs — no solvent, no stiff brush.
Do these boxing boots come in small sizes?
The grid starts at EU 35 (UK 2.5), among the lowest in the range, and runs to 46.
Which shoes for savate French boxing?
A high-top with a reinforced toe. Savate is the one striking sport where kicks land with the shoe itself, so the toe takes contact rather than just floor friction, and the laced upper holds the ankle through the kick.
Why is the sole gum coloured?
Gum is natural rubber without carbon black. Leaving that additive out is what makes the compound tacky on canvas, parquet and mat — and what keeps it from marking a light floor.
How do you lace up high-top boxing boots?
Start at the toe and work up, keeping the tension even: a boot laced tight at the bottom and loose at the top holds the foot but not the ankle. Allow a minute per boot the first few times, and tuck the bow inside the collar.
