Sugar skullRegular training
The essentials: Sugar skull boxing gloves, a pink and white sugar skull with floral patterns on a black ground. Supple, hard-wearing synthetic leather, dual-density foam, multi-layer knuckle protection, mesh-vented palm and long hook-and-loop strap. Built for regular training. 8 to 14 oz. From €49, free shipping.
One of the most distinctive designs in the collection: a pink and white sugar skull set against roses and stylised flowers on a deep black ground.
A sugar skull design
Drawn from Mexican calavera imagery, the motif pairs a flowered pink and white skull with roses and stylised flowers. The print covers the whole back of the glove.
Comfort and protection
The build uses dual-density foam that spreads frontal and lateral impact, with multi-layer knuckle protection. Reinforced stitching handles the wear, and the vented palm lets heat out during a session.
Mesh-vented palm
The palm carries a mesh panel that lets air through and helps keep the hand dry through a session.
Wrist support
The long hook-and-loop strap tightens easily on your own and holds the wrist firmly through every shot.

Frequently asked questions
Are these boxing gloves real leather?
No — the shell is PU synthetic leather. It stays supple, wipes clean and needs none of the upkeep a cowhide glove asks for.
Why a mesh panel in the palm of a boxing glove?
It lets air through the closed fist, which limits heat and moisture over a session — the palm is where a glove holds the most sweat.
Can you compete in velcro boxing gloves?
No. Sanctioned bouts are fought in lace-up gloves; a hook-and-loop strap belongs in training.
What is a sugar skull?
The calavera de azúcar of the Mexican Día de los Muertos: a decorated skull, flowered and brightly coloured, made to celebrate rather than to frighten.
