Top 10 Coolest Boxing Gloves in 2023 – Add style to your gear

Boxing is as much a spectacle as it is a sport. This is why you often see fighters walk out to the ring in luxurious gowns embroidered in precious metals while wearing expensive jewelry. This sentiment also carries over to the training gym, whether you’re competing for the belt or just trying to become a better fighter.

Looking unique and better than everyone else in the gym gives you a certain morale boost that can help you push a little further to gain the edge. Right after your boxing trunks, your gloves are the next most significant piece of kit you wear and a nice way to showcase your personality. So, to help you stand out from the crowd, here are the top coolest boxing gloves for this year. 

Hayabusa Marvel Hero Elite Boxing Gloves

• Size: 12 oz, 16 oz
• Color: 14 unique patterns
• Material: Faux leather
• Features: Supportive wrist splint, 5-layer foam padding
• Strengths: Officially licensed by Marvel, excellent impact dispersion and wrist support

This series has licensed Marvel-themed boxing gloves from many popular characters, including legends like Thanos, Hulk, Captain America, and Iron Man. And it’s not just a matter of switching the paint job; different gloves have slight structural changes to match the character they represent. Underneath, these are all Hayabusa with trademark technologies such as the wrist support split and 5-layer foam padding.

Fairtex Glory Boxing Gloves – Limited Edition

• Size: 8 oz to 16 oz
• Color: 8 unique patterns
• Material: Genuine leather
• Features: Lace closure
• Strengths: Long wrist cuff, attached thumb

You can get gold motifs on a black background or black motifs on a white background; there are 8 different patterns to choose from. All these gloves are handmade from genuine leather and optimized for kickboxing. The shape of the hand compartments makes these ideal for people with small to medium-sized hands.

TITLE Boxing Infused Foam Combat USA Training Gloves

• Size: Large
• Color: Red, white, and blue (USA flag)
• Material: Synthetic leather
• Features: Hook and loop closure, mesh palm
• Strengths: Lots of padding, not only for the knuckles but also for the palm

Check out these TITLE foam-infused gloves if you want a pair for training. They have an American flag theme going on with the stars and stripes and are fairly well-padded for basic tasks like light sparring and bag work. I wouldn’t recommend these for matches or full-contact sparring because most of the padding is around the knuckle area, with some in the palm to absorb shocks.

Sanabul Sticker Bomb Adult Boxing Gloves

• Size: 10 oz to 14 oz
• Color: 70s, Dino Jungle, Manga Action, Roar Rage
• Material: Faux leather
• Features: Breathable palm, attached thumb
• Strengths: Easy to put on and take off, durable and comfortable

You can choose from 4 different themes for your sticker bomb artwork; I personally prefer Manga Action and the 70s. The material is faux leather, with a soft but dense layer of impact-reduction foam underneath to protect your hands while striking. Yes, these are real gloves, and the 14-ounce models can deliver a nasty punch, so be careful what you’re striking at.

RDX Women’s Boxing Gloves

• Size: 8 oz to 12 oz
• Color: Black
• Material: MAYA Hide synthetic leather
• Features: Palm ventilation holes, hook and loop closure, attached thumb
• Strengths: Multi-purpose, can be used for both boxing and Muay Thai

Maya hide synthetic leather is the new trend; it’s better than PU but still not on the level of genuine leather. However, you get pretty close in terms of durability and longevity, plus the synthetic leather is much easier to clean and maintain (it’s also cheaper). With multiple layers of impact diffusion and shock absorption foams, these gloves are perfect for extended sparring/ bag work sessions. They will keep your hands protected at all times.

Venum Dragon’s Flight Boxing Gloves

• Size: 10 oz to 16 oz
• Color: Black/ black, black/ bronze, black/ sand
• Material: Faux leather
• Features: Triple-density foam, reinforced palm
• Strengths: Heavy-duty seams and all-around foam padding

The cool Dragon artwork on this glove comes in three different forms, each looking like a tattoo you’d find on the back of a yakuza. The triple-density foam and reinforced palm make this an excellent glove for sparring; it protects your partner from injuries and keeps your hands free from strain. Reinforced seams prevent the shell from falling apart no matter how hard you strike, and attached thumbs ensure you don’t accidentally cut your opponent.

TITLE Boxing Infused Foam Donut Print Training Gloves

• Size: 14 oz
• Color: Black/ white
• Material: Dura-lined Neoprene
• Features: Nylon mesh palm insert, hook and loop wrist strap
• Strengths: Secure fit, comfortable with lots of ventilation, and an ergonomic shape

These infused-foam gloves from TITLE Boxing have a funky donut print going on, but don’t be fooled by the cute looks because they are built for real training. With a dura-lined neoprene skin, these are some of the toughest gloves you can buy, and the nylon mesh panels underneath keep your hands sweat-free for extended periods. The full wraparound velcro strap ensures your gloves stay in place no matter how hard or fast you move.

Ringside Limited Edition Boxing Gloves

• Size: 16 oz
• Color: California, Mexico, Texas
• Material: Genuine leather
• Features: Full wrap-around hook and loop closure, vent holes, attached thumb
• Strengths: Extremely well padded and durable, elastic sleeve on top of velcro closure

The unique selling point for these gloves is their genuine leather construction combined with the elastic sleeve that goes on top of the velcro strap for an extra-secure fit. These great all-rounder gloves can be used for bag work and sparring. They are easy to put on and take off and have ample ventilation holes underneath to keep your hands cool.

Hayabusa S4 Kids Epic Boxing Gloves

• Size: 6 oz, 8 oz
• Color: Fairy, Flames, Machine Blue, Pink Star
• Material: PU leather
• Features: Splinted padding on wrist joints, injected foam
• Strengths: Ideal for teaching kids boxing, Muay Thai, kickboxing, etc.

Featuring some of the most vibrant and highly detailed artwork I’ve ever seen on a pair of boxing gloves, these Hayabusa S4s are a perfect gift for your kids. Not only do these gloves look excellent, but they also have trademark Hayabusa technologies built-in, like the wrist support splint and multilayer injected foam padding. The palm is entirely covered with nylon mesh, and the attached thumb has a special fabric edge that makes it easy to wipe off sweat from your face.

Sanabul Ronin Professional Boxing Gloves

• Size: 12 oz, 14 oz
• Color: Black, white
• Material: Synthetic leather
• Features: 4-layer padding, hook and loop closure
• Strengths: Well-ventilated, good padding on knuckles for working the heavy bag

These are expensive, but they look unlike anything else you’ll ever come across in the gym with their combination of Japanese graffiti and anime-inspired artwork. These are designed to be competition gloves, so they have professional grade 4-layer padding underneath to keep up with the heaviest of strikers. And they fit just as well as any other top-tier glove from companies like TITLE and Cleto Reyes.

Conclusion

Remember, the best-looking gloves in the world won’t do you much good unless you train hard. And you should always prioritize getting a pair of gloves that fit your hand. There’s no point in spending a fortune on the most extravagant pair of mitts if your hands get cramped inside them after throwing a couple of punches.
