From underground gyms to luxury lookbooks, boxing isn’t just a sport it transcends the genre— it’s a cultural force, and fashion is stepping into the ring like never before.
At ZOO Fashions, we’re witnessing a developing narrative—one where boxing’s raw energy, discipline, and heritage are influencing some of the most directional luxury & ‘street’ menswear out there. Think tough silhouettes, utilitarian layering, and the kind of swagger you only get from stepping through the ropes.
But this isn’t just about gloves and shorts — it’s about identity, expression, and power.
Boxing and fashion have long shared a visual language — from Jack Johnsons Cut Down Boots in the early 1900’s to Muhammad Ali’s iconic style in the ‘70s and even Mike Tyson’s street-luxury crossover in the '90s. But today’s connection runs deeper.
It’s not just about athletes as fashion icons — it’s about how fashion is absorbing boxing’s spirit, using its symbols and stories to shape a more intense, grounded aesthetic.
When Oleksandr Usyk, one of boxing’s most cerebral and composed champions, steps out in Stone Island, it’s a natural fit. The collections blend of technical innovation and militant cool mirrors Usyk’s calculated style inside the ring. Stone Island doesn't chase trends — it builds uniformity, purpose, and quiet dominance. Usyk wears it like armour.

Then there’s Canelo, the pound-for-pound fashion killer. His link-up with Amiri channels the crossover energy between LA streetwear and luxury edge. Amiri’s elevated denim, leather bombers, and crystal-studded takes on athletic wear feel tailor-made for Canelo’s bold, star-power persona. He’s as comfortable front row at Paris Fashion Week as he is ringside — and so is Amiri.

No brand is using boxing imagery more effectively right now than Adidas x Willy Chavarria. Their campaigns feature gritty gym backdrops, wrapped fists, and sweat-slicked bodies — raw, emotional, and real. Chavarria’s vision reclaims boxing’s symbolism, infusing it that working-class identity and the cultural heritage & dominance from the region — pushing the sport’s aesthetic into radical new territory.
It’s a style that resonates with ZOO Fashions’ DNA: boundary-pushing, rooted in culture, and unapologetically bold.

UFC’s Marlon Vera may be MMA by trade, but his boxing-heavy fighting style — and sharp, rebellious image — align perfectly with ZOO Fashions' most gritty-luxury brands. You’ll see Vera in labels like Stone Island, Amiri, and Palm Angels, capturing that tough-but-polished energy today’s menswear craves.
