Introduction
Is it too much to ask for an extremely comfortable, highly protective, and fully customisable pair of boxing gloves at a reasonable price? Well… the Win1 Boxing Gloves by Top Boxer might just be the answer!
Welcome to another boxing gear review! Today, I’m excited to talk about what has quickly become one of my favorite all-around gloves—the Dragon Ball-Inspired Win1 Boxing Gloves from Top Boxer. It’s rare for me to say this about gloves made in Pakistan, but these are truly special.
While many Pakistani manufacturers produce quality fight gear, Top Boxer stands apart by offering fully customised products, making them one of the best in the industry. Let’s break down what makes these gloves exceptional.
Company & Customisation
Top Boxer isn’t just another mass-production brand. They offer full customisation across their entire range, including:
✔️ Color schemes
✔️ Font choices
✔️ Hand measurements
✔️ Leather types
✔️ Padding options
✔️ Embroidery of custom designs
And the best part? All of this customisation is included in the $149 USD price (or around $250 AUD) with free shipping—a truly insane deal!
If you’re unsure about trusting the brand, just take a look at their star-studded client list, including Jon Jones, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Michelle Waterson, Cowboy Cerrone, and Kayla Harrison. That’s some serious credibility!
Visuals & Aesthetics
These gloves turn heads in the gym with their Dragon Ball-inspired colorway—a striking orange and blue dual-tone design.
One standout feature is the Goku-style leather emblem stitched onto the back of the gloves. The emblem reads “Kobushi”, meaning “fist” in Japanese—a small but cool detail! The craftsmanship is superb, with no rough edges that could cause discomfort or wear over time.
There’s also a Top Boxer stitched label on the wrist—while functional, I personally think this could be refined in future iterations. That’s me being picky, though!
Casing & Leather Quality
✔️ Full cowhide leather construction
✔️ Thicker hide for durability
✔️ Smooth, small-grain texture
The leather feels high-end and built to last. It’s soft yet durable, ensuring longevity even with heavy use.
Inner Lining & Comfort
The silky nylon lining gives the gloves a premium feel. A soft inner lining can make even mediocre gloves feel great, and in this case, it enhances an already excellent product.
Hand Fit & Profile
✔️ Pillowy-soft interior fit
✔️ Squared profile (similar to Winning gloves)
✔️ Medium width—not too slim, not too wide
✔️ Curved, dual-cut thumb for perfect positioning
The thumb design is slightly on the snug side, but the extra padding (10-20mm over the top) ensures a comfortable and protected fit.
The gloves taper slightly at the pinky, and the overall length extends halfway down the forearm—a great balance between protection and mobility.
Wrist Support & Padding
✔️ 2 thick padded pillows with a horizontal groove for laces
✔️ 2-3 cm thick padding for shock absorption
✔️ Decent protection on the back of the wrist
While the palm-side wrist padding is fantastic, I think Top Boxer could enhance the back-of-wrist protection by mimicking the front’s pillow-y padding.
Padding & Performance
✔️ 3-4 cm of soft-to-medium firm padding over the knuckles
✔️ Feels incredible on the heavy bag, mitts, and in sparring
✔️ Allows for decent hand flexibility (though not ideal for clinching)
The padding absorbs impact beautifully, making these gloves an absolute joy for bag work, mitts, or even sparring.
Value for Money
At approximately $149 USD ($250 AUD), the Win1 gloves deliver insane value compared to similarly priced competitors. They might not be the absolute cheapest, but when considering customisation, build quality, and performance, they are unbeatable.
Who Should Buy These Gloves?
✔️ Ideal for: Hobbyists, serious fighters, and anyone wanting high-performance, customisable boxing gloves. These are fantastic for bag work, pads, and sparring.
❌ Not ideal for: Complete beginners or those on a tight budget. If you’re new to combat sports, you might want to start with a more affordable, off-the-shelf option.
Final Verdict
The Top Boxer Win1 gloves are an outstanding pair of boxing gloves that excel in comfort, protection, and customisation. If you’re looking for a premium glove at a reasonable price, these should be at the top of your list.
