The BGV14 Art Collection is the closest you’ll get to true custom boxing gloves while staying within Fairtex’s stock lineup. Each variant (Painter, Graffiti, Red Wave, Optical Art, Polka Dot, Grunge, Solid Black) uses high‑quality microfiber that is lighter than leather, easier to maintain, and naturally more resistant to sweat and odor. Long cuffs offer strong wrist support and extra palm padding makes these very forgiving on hard bag rounds and sparring. Protection, build quality, and comfort are all genuinely high, while the artwork gives you a one‑of‑a‑kind look that often replaces traditional name embroidery for many fighters.
Choose BGV14 Art Collection if you want custom boxing gloves in practice, not in process. You get distinctive designs that stand out in photos and fight posters, plus serious padding for daily training. They suit hobbyists through pros who care about both aesthetics and performance. If you insist on your own logo or text printed on the glove shell, you’ll need to combine these with an external print service or pick a plainer model like BGV1C‑PLUS as your base.
Rating: 9.5/10

If your idea of customized boxing gloves is a clean, sharp glove that lets the rest of your kit do the talking, the BGV1C‑PLUS Gun Metallic is ideal. The understated metallic finish works with almost any custom short design or color‑coded wraps, while the updated high‑flex foam delivers excellent impact absorption without feeling bulky. Ergonomics are improved over older BGV1‑style gloves: hand alignment is more natural, the grip bar is refined, and making a tight fist is easier. That means better power transfer on the bag and less fatigue across long rounds.
Pick BGV1C‑PLUS if you want high‑performing gloves that visually integrate into a bigger custom look: embroidered shorts, branded tees, or team colors. They suit boxers, Muay Thai athletes, and kickboxers who train several times per week and want durable padding without heavy bulk. If you prefer traditional leather feel and patina, BGV21 Legacy will be more your style.
Rating: 9.2/10
Bottom Line: A modern, ergonomic training glove with a neutral metallic finish that plays perfectly with personalized gear. Great balance of value, protection, and style.

The BGV21 “Legacy” gives you that classic, broken‑in leather aesthetic that looks right at home with custom boxing shorts, embroidered gym logos, or retro ring jackets. Genuine leather ages uniquely, which many fighters treat as their own personal “customization” over time. Fairtex’s three‑layer foam keeps knuckles well protected for bag and pad work while the glove stays flexible enough for crisp mitt sessions. The brown finish and simple branding make this an ideal choice if you plan to personalize the rest of your kit and want gloves that won’t visually clash.
Choose BGV21 if you want your gloves to look like they have a story. They pair well with personalized boxing gloves with name printed on wraps, classic satin shorts, or heritage‑style apparel. Ideal for boxers and Muay Thai athletes who prefer leather feel and plan to maintain their equipment. If you train mostly in humid environments and want low‑maintenance gear, microfiber models are easier to live with.
Rating: 9.0/10
Bottom Line: A vintage‑styled leather workhorse that ages beautifully and complements custom apparel. Strong protection, classic feel, and a look that becomes more “yours” every month.

When people talk about “custom sparring gloves,” they usually mean a specific ounce, padding profile, and fit that protects both partners. BGV18 is built exactly for that. Pillow‑like, three‑layer foam and a long padded wrist give you a forgiving glove that gyms are happy to see in the ring. Microfiber keeps them lighter and more odor‑resistant than many leather sparring gloves. The look is relatively simple, which lets you build your unique identity through custom shorts, rashguards, or color‑coded handwraps while trusting your gloves to do the safety work.
Choose BGV18 if your “personalization” priority is sparring safety: enough padding, correct size, and a fit your coach approves. Great for dedicated amateurs and pros sparring multiple times a week, bigger athletes, and anyone in a busy gym where partners vary in size. If you need one glove that covers both bag and sparring work aesthetically, a more compact all‑rounder may suit you better.
Rating: 9.3/10
Bottom Line: A purpose‑built sparring glove that protects partners and wrists exceptionally well. Keep these for the ring, and build your visual “custom” look with your wraps and apparel.
Best for: Beginners and amateur‑style training who want safe padding and simple styling to personalize around

If you’re just starting and searching “custom boxing gloves with name,” it’s smart to first choose a glove that keeps you safe. BVG27 uses a one‑piece molded, high‑density foam that wraps the knuckles in a thick, rounded profile similar to what you see at major amateur tournaments. That rounded head is forgiving for both you and your partner, and the microfiber shell keeps cost and maintenance reasonable. The cleaner silhouette and simple branding leave plenty of visual room for your identity through shorts, handwrap colors, and other custom pieces.
BVG27 suits beginners, youth moving toward amateur competition, and any boxer who wants a safe, amateur‑style training glove. If you’re building your first kit, combine these with Fairtex’s Muay Thai & boxing shorts and colored handwraps to create a personalized look without compromising safety.
Rating: 8.9/10

FIORE is for fighters who want their “custom made boxing gloves” to look like they came out of a design studio. Two‑tone genuine leather, hand‑screened butterfly graphics, and optional LED‑tube display box make these feel like a personal statement piece. Underneath the art you still get proper training performance: triple‑layer style Fairtex padding, solid wrist support, and a fit suitable for bag work and controlled sparring. Paired with custom boxing shorts or coordinated apparel, FIORE can anchor a very distinctive competition outfit.
Choose FIORE if your custom boxing glove idea leans toward luxury and aesthetic impact. They work well for walkouts, photo shoots, and special occasions while still being functional for training. If your budget is tighter or you care more about hard daily use than presentation, BGV1C‑PLUS or BGV21 offer better value.

The Golden Jubilee gloves are Fairtex’s own “anniversary custom gloves.” Shiny microfiber, hand‑applied silkscreen art, and triple‑density foam give you both a special‑occasion look and real training performance. Microfiber keeps them odor‑resistant and easier to clean than leather, which matters if you rotate them with other gloves. These pair naturally with the Golden Jubilee shorts or even fully custom shorts, making them a strong option for teams or gyms wanting a unified but distinctive look.
Golden Jubilee gloves are ideal for gyms, teams, or long‑time Fairtex fans who want a special pair that still handles regular training. If your custom vision is building a coordinated anniversary kit (gloves plus shorts), this is the most direct route in the Fairtex line. For everyday minimalism, you may prefer a simpler colorway.

If you like the idea of customized boxing gloves but prefer proven designers to handle the artwork, this Fairtex x AAPE collab delivers. Premium full‑grain leather, triple‑layered foam, and 100% handscreen camouflage put these squarely in the “collector that you can spar in” category. Locking thumb and grip bar keep the fist secure, while Fairtex padding remains reliable for pads, bag work, and controlled sparring. Match them with the AAPE trunks or neutral shorts for a complete, statement‑level kit.
Pick the Fairtex x AAPE gloves if you come from sneaker or streetwear culture and want your boxing gloves to match that level of design. They work well for fighters who already have plain training gloves and want something visually special for events, content, or selected sessions. If budget is a concern, BGV14 Art Collection offers a more accessible way to get a custom‑feeling glove.

URFACE x Fairtex gloves look like a custom commission from a street artist. Microfiber leather keeps them light and easy to maintain, while grip bar and locked thumb give the familiar Fairtex training feel. Protection and padding profile are suitable for mixed training, so these are not “fashion only” pieces. Use them as the centerpiece of a custom look: pair with neutral shorts or with the URFACE x Fairtex shorts if you want a full matching set.
Choose URFACE x Fairtex if you want your gloves to be the loudest piece of your kit and you like modern graphics more than classic stripes. Great for content creators, semi‑pro fighters, and anyone whose idea of “boxing gloves custom” is more about collaboration art than adding a name patch.

Although not gloves, Fairtex Custom Boxing / Muay Thai Shorts are the core of a true personalized setup. You select one to three colors, choose Fairtex patches, and add your own name or text via embroidery. Production is made‑to‑order in Thailand, so these genuinely count as custom gear, not just off‑the‑rack. Pair them with any of the gloves above to get the “custom boxing gloves with name” feel through your overall kit, which is how most pros actually build their visual identity.
Choose the custom shorts service if your priority is seeing your name and chosen colors in the ring. For most fighters, this is a more practical and durable way to personalize their look than printing directly on gloves. Combine with a neutral or artistic Fairtex glove and you have a professional‑looking “custom” kit without compromising padding or warranty.
Rating: 9.0/10
Bottom Line: A legitimate custom garment service from Fairtex that lets your name and colors shine. The perfect complement to any of the gloves above when you want a fully personalized setup.
Before you worry about names and artwork, decide what your custom boxing gloves must do in training. If you spar often, prioritize models like BGV18 Super Sparring Gloves or BVG27 that use thicker, softer foam to protect both you and your partners. If your focus is power on the bag, heavier “puncher” styles like Heavy Hitter BGV9 or compact trainers such as BGV1C‑PLUS feel more precise. Many fighters run two pairs: a cushioned sparring glove and a firmer bag glove, then coordinate both with a single pair of personalized shorts and wraps to keep their look consistent.
Most “custom made boxing gloves” in the market use either genuine leather or microfiber. Leather options such as BGV21 Legacy, FIORE, and AAPE collaborations develop a patina and soft break‑in that feels traditional but require conditioning and proper drying. Microfiber models like BGV14 Art Collection, BGV1C‑PLUS, and Golden Jubilee are lighter, more resistant to sweat and odor, and easier to wipe clean. If you train in hot, humid gyms or want minimal maintenance, microfiber is practical. If you prefer a heritage feel that ages with you, choose leather and accept a little extra care.
Size in boxing gloves is usually expressed in ounces, not hand circumference, so match oz to purpose. For most adults: 8–10 oz for pad and bag power work, 12 oz as a versatile training size, 14–16 oz for sparring, and 18–20 oz for larger fighters or very protective sparring (like BGV18). If you’re pairing gloves with custom boxing shorts and want a unified competition kit, ask your coach what ounce they expect in your ruleset. For kids, look at dedicated youth models and always prioritize control and padding over fashion.
There are three main tiers when thinking about custom or personalized options. Performance‑first gloves with clean styling (BVG27, BGV1C‑PLUS, BGV21) generally sit in the middle price range and are ideal if you’ll invest more in custom shorts or apparel. Art and collaboration pieces (BGV14 Art, URFACE, AAPE, FIORE) cost more but effectively replace bespoke glove artwork. Fully custom garments like Fairtex custom shorts introduce another cost layer but give you true name and patch personalization. Decide where the customization matters most for you: gloves, shorts, or both.
Whatever you choose, how you care for your equipment will decide how long your “custom” look stays sharp. Always wear quality handwraps such as Fairtex wraps to keep sweat out of the glove lining. After training, open the cuffs fully, air‑dry gloves away from direct heat, and consider using a glove deodorizer insert. Leather gloves benefit from occasional conditioning to prevent cracking. Microfiber only needs regular wiping. Shorts and apparel should be washed according to care labels; avoid harsh drying that can fade personalized embroidery.
For beginners, Fairtex BVG27 Amateur Boxing Gloves are a strong choice. The one‑piece molded foam offers generous protection, and the microfiber shell is easy to clean. Pair them with custom shorts or colored handwraps and you get a personalized look without sacrificing safety or overspending on your first pair.
Most adults use 12 oz for general training, 14–16 oz for sparring, and 8–10 oz for pad and bag work. Heavier fighters or those prioritizing partner safety can go up to 18–20 oz in models like BGV18. Always confirm with your coach, especially if you’re preparing for competition where specific glove weights are required.
Genuine leather (BGV21, FIORE, AAPE collab) gives a traditional feel and ages with a unique patina, which many fighters treat as part of their “custom” character. Microfiber (BGV14, BGV1C‑PLUS, Golden Jubilee) is lighter, more sweat‑resistant, and easier to maintain. If you train frequently in hot gyms or want low maintenance, microfiber is usually the better choice.
If you train three to five times per week, expect serious training gloves to last roughly 12–24 months, depending on intensity and care. You’ll know it is time to replace them when padding feels compressed, your knuckles start to ache on impact, or the wrist support no longer feels secure. Good maintenance can extend this lifespan significantly.
Keep them dry and clean. Use handwraps, open the cuffs after each session, and air‑dry in a ventilated space. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and condition leather periodically. Avoid leaving gloves in a closed bag for hours, as moisture and heat can damage padding, artwork, and stitching, especially on shiny or printed finishes.
They can be, depending on your goals. Limited‑edition models like Fairtex x AAPE, URFACE, FIORE, or Golden Jubilee deliver the performance of pro‑grade gloves with artwork that feels custom and collectible. If aesthetics, content, and personal motivation matter to you, that extra cost can be justified. If you only need a durable trainer, BGV1C‑PLUS or BVG27 offer better pure value.
Fairtex’s main customization service is currently focused on shorts rather than glove shells. You can achieve a personalized kit by combining art‑driven gloves (like BGV14 Art Collection) with custom shorts that feature your name and colors. If you need your logo or name printed on gloves, many athletes use third‑party print or embroidery services on top of Fairtex stock models.
Every glove in this guide is a Fairtex product selected from the current catalog with “custom” in mind: either through artwork, collaboration design, or how well it pairs with personalized shorts and apparel. We looked at real training use, not just aesthetics, prioritizing models that can handle regular pad work, bag work, and sparring. All products are from Fairtex, Thailand's original combat sports brand since 1971. Founded by Philip Wong, each product is handcrafted in Thailand and tested by professional fighters at the Fairtex Training Center.
Evaluation Criteria:
If your goal is “custom boxing gloves,” decide what custom means for you. If you want a bold look with zero design work, BGV14 Art Collection, URFACE x Fairtex, and Fairtex x AAPE give you artwork that looks bespoke while still training like pro gloves. If you care more about traditional feel, BGV21 Legacy and FIORE pair beautifully with personalized shorts and wraps. For many fighters, the smartest path is a high‑performing glove plus custom Fairtex shorts that carry your name and colors. Explore Fairtex's complete collection of combat sports equipment, handcrafted in Thailand for fighters who demand professional quality.
