GLOVES STORIES: SHOCK
THE SYMBOL OF THE NEW LEONE GENERATION
The Shock model was born in 2014: the classic design links it to the history of the Milanese company, the high absorption padding and the top quality leather project it into the new generation of Leone1947 gloves.
The choice most appreciated by boxing, kick boxing, thai boxing and savate fighters, destined to become a best seller soon.
LEONE SYSTEM – FIT TECHNOLOGY
Power, technique and safety. LEONE SYSTEM-FIT is a technology resulting from years of studies and research that has allowed us to design a preformed and super anatomical structure tested and approved by the Technische Universitat of Berlin. The closed fist shaping and the curved thumb make the hand assume the most biomechanically correct position allowing you to express all your power in total safety and achieve an impeccable technique.
SMALL DETAILS, BIG DIFFERENCE
The AB-TECH ventilation system and the highly breathable lining favor better heat dispersion by preventing excessive sweating and the formation of bad odors. The practical WRAP & STRAP closure allows you to put on and take off the gloves quickly and easily and in complete autonomy. Once the sleeve is tightened, the SAFETY-LOCK SYSTEM perfectly locks the wrist offering additional joint protection. You will feel your gloves like the natural extension of your hands.
ANTISHOCK HI-FLEX PADDING
HI-FLEX PU anti-trauma padding. A light and extremely flexible polymer such as polyurethane guarantees perfect shock absorption even during the most intense exchanges. The calibrated thickness of the LEONE padding offers absolute protection to the knuckles, wrist and elbow without sacrificing your performance. Antiallergic, antibacterial, antifatigue.
FULL GRAIN LEATHER
Resistance, durability and elasticity. We select the finest "full grain" buffalo leather from the best international tanneries. The quality and thickness allow greater resistance in the areas with higher impact and superior elasticity even during repeated stresses.
THE MODEL CHOSEN FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT INTERNATIONAL COMPETITIONS
The Shock model, initially presented only in the training variant therefore equipped with Velcro closure, soon became one of the most popular in the collection. The company itself chooses it as a model to represent it in Italy but at the same time to present the brand on an international level: the 8 and 10 ounce model with lace-up closure and multi-layer padding tested for match pro is introduced.

BETWEEN RESTYLING AND SPECIAL EDITIONS, THE STYLE REMAINS UNMISTAKABLE
Over the years following the positive reception of the Shock gloves, there have been several restylings and special editions with limited numbers, with a common and always shared goal: to reinterpret and renew the model respecting its formal rigor, aesthetic cleanliness, Italian style in the search for detail ... and all the guidelines that have made it one of the most appreciated and recognized models in the world.
2017
On the occasion of the company's 70th anniversary, the “rottamazione” (scrapping) of used gloves is certainly one of the most significant initiatives. In exchange for any pair of gloves, regardless of size and model, the opportunity to purchase at a special price the KIT SPECIAL 70, consisting, in addition to bandages and bags, of a limited edition of unique gloves: the synthesis between the two models most iconic of the brand, SHOCK and ITALY.
2018
In 2018, by popular demand, a version of the Shock glove dedicated to our fighters arrives. The new model, in addition to the special purple color of the proud full buffalo leather, is proposed in the specific size 10M: a glove weighing 10 ounces but with a fit specially designed for female hands.
2019
Five years after the presentation of the Shock gloves, a graphic and technical restyling is proposed: the Shock Pro. The new colors, green and red "vintage", the redesigned label and the new details embellish the model. The specially designed multi-layer padding is proposed for the first time also in the version with Velcro closure, making it ideal for pro workouts.
