Winning MS Series Boxing Gloves 

A little context before, Japanese culture is one rooted in perfectionism. They strive to be meticulous, clean, precise and consistently developing in their pursuits. Now, what happens when you have Japanese craftsman making a boxing glove? You get the most sought after gloves in the world. It's difficult to describe what makes them so good, we typically just tell customers, "just try it on", the best response from a customer of ours was, "This was the first time where I put on a glove and can honestly say it fits like a glove". 

Made of premium Japanese leather, with latex foam padding that is broken and ready to use out the box. No other boxing gloves can compete with the ergonomics of the glove. The thumb placement is unique and positions your fist in a safe and naturally forming fist. If one word was used to describe this glove it would be, LEGENDARY. 

As great as this glove is it may not be for everyone. Pricing for these gloves are $400+, but as the age old saying goes "You get what you pay for." As mentioned earlier Japanese perfectionism can be a double-edged sword, there can be long periods of time that they are sold out as production is notoriously slow. If you are set on a certain color the wait can be long and custom orders can take 3-4 months to produce. The best option for buying a Winning is to be flexible in terms of color and or style.
