Gloves...they come in all shapes and sizes. Nifty mittens for cold nights watching fireworks, white ones for Michael Jackson impressions, leather for those Sunday afternoons spent driving the Bentley and of course all black and slinky for covering up at crime scenes.
Then of course there are gloves for beating the life out of a boxing opponent...or if you’re not in the mood to hurt people then smashing a punch bag. We like these types of gloves especially and we love Lonsdale’s latest version which will help the aspiring pugilist spend many an hour safely sparring.
The latest synthetic materials incorporated allow for a more lightweight glove with increased durability. It all sounds very technical but the team at Lonsdale are constantly working to make their gloves the most state-of-the-art equipment out there.
Equipped with improved shock absorbency with padding around the wrist that promotes proper punching technique, the glove conforms to the natural shape of the fist to make focus pad and bag work safer and more comfy.
Former champions Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Robinson, Henry Cooper, Lennox Lewis, Ricky Hatton and Joe Calzaghe have all left a Lonsdale logo imprint on their opponent, sporting the boxing company’s apparel in the ring and raising the London brand’s profile as their respective reputations soared.
Soon the reformed Audley Harrison will be adorned in Lonsdale attire next Saturday as he looks to knock his former protégée David Haye off his perch at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
Now you too can focus on perfecting your very own haymaker, safe in the knowledge that with these classic gloves you will truly look the real deal.
