Adidas Box Rival boxing boots. This photo is an old favourite of mine, taken way back in the days before digital cameras, by putting my foot into a flatbed scanner. Quite a good result, actually.

Defeated


Very rare is the wrestler who never loses. Every time you step on that mat you know that only one of you can be the victor.

I'm liking these "lite" versions of the Chuck, even though they're being marketed as for women only. Kinda makes me think of a Chuck combined with a wrestling shoe.

Adidas Jab


A tour of a now very rare pair of vintage adidas boxing boots. Note the mega-long laces. The combination of green and purple is mad but brilliant.

Vintage ASICS Wrestling Shoe Ad


If I were that guy on the left, lacing up in those classic split sole wrestling shoes, I'd be concentrating pretty hard on my shoes too! But I'm not so sure about the lady on the right...!

Converse Chuck Taylor “Sweatshirt”

Great shoes, immaculately and professionally photographed. Nice neat lacing, too! Nice.
