custom winning gear.

I can't say for sure, but I got print because of its lower cost and fast turnaround time. I would be worried about the longevity of the threads. Here's a picture of the print, sorry for the gigantic pic lol. The print is gold and has a nice shine to it

Raggle I personally like your Winning gloves the best, especially with the Kanji symbols. Would you mind posting a side by side comparison of your gloves? I want to see the difference in the color.
 
On an unrelated note, my coach gives me shit for wearing my winning gear since most guys in my gym are poor.

lol, I could imagine that.

Luckily for me I am the coach so no one gives me shit for anything.

Like the quote from Any Given Sunday "I don't have strokes motherfucker, I give 'em!"

:cool:

For reference, it looks much brighter IRL than in this video
 
Wow both blues look so good, i'm really torn between which i like better. Thanks for the picture, much appreciated.
 
Anyone ever notice that the Rakuten prices go up and down daily? I been eyeing the fg 2900 head gear and I seen it as low as $187 and high as $191. I know its only a difference of 4 bucks but still, any one know the reason for this?

USD/JPY exchange rate. This is actually a huge advantage of rakuten comparing to Winning USA currently, not only the prices in JPY are lower there than Winning JPY catalogue prices but it also reflects the most recent exchange rate (because on rakuten you always pay in YEN, so the price in USD, GBP or whatever you see is just an appx. price), it is not a fixed dollar price like Winning USA. Winning USA prices are consistent and considering the last rise of them claimed to reflect a stronger JPY comparing to how it used to be (that's no longer true, it's changed very much during the last few months) rakuten is significantly cheaper.

Awesome stuff.

Okay so my bday is is in MID APRIL.
My girlfriend said she will get me winnings since I am so hard to shop for. She ordered them last thursday 03/07/2013, thinking they will take around 3-4 weeks to arrive and they arrived on Monday 03/11/2013. I was so shock. I still havent seen them yet, but she sent me the picture of the box and said she looked inside and saw 10 oz red lace up gloves. So excited......to see them!! but i have to wait 3-4 weeks. Maybe Rakuten really slowed down on their orders and and they are shipping things a lot faster now? Or maybe I just got lucky with customs. Anyways..I am super stoked.
 
Since when was red a custom colour? o.o...thats like saying air is a limited resource. But yeah thats nice man...your gf loves you man, not even my parents love me that much to buy something like that for me. Better treat her right :)

oh oops I forgot this was CUSTOM forum. I thought it was all winnings order took 3-4 weeks. Sill yme :icon_chee
 
Haha no man i wasnt trying to be disrespectful and say you cant post here. I was just worried that all of a sudden they were charging you custom color prices for red and colours i thought were standard...my bad not really yours. Glad i got that cleared up. I'm wondering why rakuten is able to price winning so much cheaper than winning usa though...doesnt winning usa realize no one will buy from them at this rate?

I think Winning USA does a lot of Local business. I think ppl in Cali just drive a few mins and try on all the gears and buy it there rather than buy it from Rakuten. Also I dont think too many ppl know about Rakuten , I didnt until I read these forums.
 
@Kounter Idk...the trainer looks like he's trying to find out too haha...maybe hasn't showered for a while or...I don't even want to know.

Anyway From random googling...this is what rakuten said old winning gloves were like...interesting lol:

Not very different from how they looked in 1968. After Lionel Rose (RIP) vs Fighting Harada.

If the color fades badly, you can give yourself an excuse to buy another one! :icon_chee
 
On a different note: looks like his sparring partner is wearing Casanovas....
