Step back into the golden age of boxing with this rare pair of vintage Ray Flores leather boxing gloves. Crafted in San Francisco, these lace-up gloves are steeped in history, showing the scuffs, patina, and classic wear of well-aged leather. Each glove carries the original Ray Flores patch, 401-6th Street, San Francisco, authenticating its origins from one of boxing's most respected glove makers.

These gloves measure 10 inches long by 5.5 inches wide and weigh about 1 lb combined. A distinctive detail sets this pair apart: white leather along the inner thumb area, a unique touch rarely seen on Flores gloves.

Why they matter: Ray Flores, a boxer turned referee and glove maker, became renowned for his hand-crafted gloves that graced the hands of legends like Sugar Ray Robinson, Sonny Liston, and Carl "Bobo" Olson. His gloves were worn in championship bouts throughout the 1950s and 1960s, and surviving examples are scarce and highly collectible.
