never even seen them before. But they look very similar to there NHB sparring gloves (shooto type gloves), and I have those and love them. Awesome quality. You pretty much can't go wrong with Fairtex.

They look like they are based on the FGV15s (Sparring Gloves - Double Wrist Wrap Closure). I saw them and thought they look pretty cool. Just wondering their practicality though, because I've never seen MMA gloves with laces before.

to be honest just go with the velcro gloves. The laces allow you to get the gloves nice tight, but they end up being more of a pain in the ass. My advice would be to just go with velcro style gloves.

for sure. i was just thinking when it comes to pro fight's they would be pretty decent, because they have a slightly longer cuff and laces to get them nice and tight as you said.

Foz have you tried something like this before? I used to use lace up boxing gloves, but for training sessions they are not practical. You can grab the laces and put inside to speed up putting them on. However it kind of defeats the purpose that lace up gloves are made for.

i have. and just didnt like it, apart from having to spend time tying them up the only way for fingers not to get caught was to tape over the lace and around the wrist.

Velcro all the way.
