Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Black has been a common color for boxing gloves for a very long time. It is a simple yet strong color which doesn’t show scuffs or dirt very easily which makes it a practical choice for daily training. A lot of boxers also choose black gloves because it has got that classic and professional look.
No, black gloves are not usually required but they are the most common color that you will see in any gym. A lot of gyms will let you train in any color glove that you like. So, the decision to pick black is mostly a classic and popular style choice instead of a rule that you have to follow.
No, they do not. We have different glove models in the color black and each one has another kind of padding for a different job. For example, our black sparring gloves have a softer foam, while our black training gloves have a firmer foam.
The most important thing you can do is to let your gloves air out and dry completely after every single use. You should also wipe them down with a clean cloth to remove sweat. From time to time, you can use a good leather conditioner to keep the leather from getting dry and cracked.
When the gloves are brand new, it is possible for a very small amount of the black dye to rub off on your hand wraps, especially if they get very wet with sweat. This is normal for any new leather product. After you have used the gloves a few times, this should no longer happen.
