Boxing shoes
| Description: |
Since the early 1900s, new immigrants, urban youths and minorities have used boxing to gain fame and fortune. Now divided into amateur and professional ranks, serious boxers use specialized equipment to perform well. Boxing shoes must provide traction and ankle support in the ring. Olympic athletes participating in the 1984 Los Angeles Games wore boxing shoes like these. |
