The Twins Special Kabuki boxing gloves feature a striking Japanese-inspired Kabuki mask design printed over the classic BGVL-3 platform. Made from 100% genuine cowskin leather with premium multi-layer foam padding, these gloves deliver reliable hand and wrist protection for training and sparring alike. A Velcro strap and attached thumb provide a secure, comfortable fit straight out of the box. Handcrafted in Thailand, the Kabuki brings Twins Special's legendary build quality together with one of their boldest graphic designs.

Why You'll Love Them

• Proven Platform: Built on the iconic Twins BGVL-3 shape — one of the most widely used and trusted glove designs in Muay Thai worldwide.
