TL;DR: Fairtex (Thailand, est. 1958) and Reversal/RVDDW (Tokyo) dropped a six-piece limited-edition collection built around the Wai Kru — Muay Thai's sacred pre-fight ritual of gratitude and respect.
Black base. White and gold Lai Thai ornamentation. Zero restock guaranteed. Every piece was designed to be worn as a complete kit — gloves, shorts, fight shorts, rash guard, barrel bag, and tee.

Before every fight, a Muay Thai warrior kneels, touches the canvas, and performs the Wai Kru. It's not ceremony for ceremony's sake. It's a fighter telling the world: I know where I came from.
That's the DNA of this drop.
Two of combat sports' most respected brands — Fairtex from Thailand and Reversal/RVDDW from Tokyo — channeled that ritual into six limited-edition pieces. The result is the most visually unified, culturally grounded fightwear collab of 2026.

What Is the Wai Kru?
The Wai Kru is Muay Thai's pre-fight ritual — performed before every bout since the art's origins in ancient Thailand. "Wai" means to show respect with hands pressed together in prayer. "Kru" means teacher.
The fighter circles the ring three times, kneels, and bows — honoring teachers, ancestors, parents, and the lineage of the art itself. It's equal parts spiritual preparation and mental lock-in. Every posture draws from Thai folklore, Buddhist tradition, and centuries of passed-down wisdom.
This collab didn't just borrow the imagery. It understood what it means.
Two Brands, One Vision
Fairtex was founded in Bangkok in 1958. Over six decades, it became the gold standard for Thai-made combat sports gear — the official gloves partner of ONE Championship. When fighters worldwide think "authentic Muay Thai gear," they think Fairtex.
Reversal/RVDDW is Tokyo's premier martial arts streetwear brand — a movement that fuses grappling-performance construction with Japanese graphic design. ChokeSports.com has been the official international Reversal partner since 2006.
Together they built something neither could make alone: Thai craft execution guided by Tokyo design precision.
The Full Collection Breakdown
Boxing Gloves
Premium genuine leather. Three-layer foam construction. Built grip bar. Handmade silkscreen Wai Kru artwork on the shell — printed by hand, not machine.
These aren't display gloves. They're built to Fairtex's full competition standard. The 8oz–16oz sizing covers pad work, bag work, and sparring.
Sizes: 8oz / 10oz / 14oz / 16oz | Made in Thailand | Genuine leather

Muay Thai Shorts
Premium Micro Satin fabric. Embroidered dual logos. Lai Thai floral print throughout. The cut sits between traditional Muay Thai (wide leg, deep slit) and a slimmer kickboxing profile.
Wear them in the ring or at the gym — they move like traditional shorts and look sharper than anything in the locker room.
Sizes: S / M / L / XL / 2XL | Premium Micro Satin | Embroidered dual logos
Shop Muay Thai Shorts →Fight Shorts
92% polyester / 8% spandex. Deep side slits. Anti-slip interior waistband. Full Wai Kru leg graphic. MMA, no-gi BJJ, or striking class — these cover all three without compromise.
The anti-slip waistband stays put during scrambles. The spandex blend stretches for high kicks, guard passes, and takedowns.
Sizes: S / M / L / XL | 92% Polyester / 8% Spandex | MMA / No-Gi / Muay Thai ready

Long Sleeve Rash Guard
240gsm fabric. 80% polyester / 20% spandex. Silicone anti-slip hem. Asymmetric raglan sleeves — one black, one white with gold Lai Thai print. Full Wai Kru back graphic.
The 240gsm weight gives real compression. The silicone hem stays tucked under shorts. Built for training, not Instagram — though it holds up on both fronts.
Sizes: S / M / L / XL / 2XL | 240gsm | 80% Polyester / 20% Spandex | Asymmetric raglan sleeves
Shop Rash Guard →Barrel Bag
Heavy-duty microfiber shell. 40L capacity (54×27×27 cm). Reinforced zippers and straps. Wai Kru leather patch on the end panel. Black and gold Lai Thai print exterior.
Forty liters fits gloves, shorts, shin guards, a rash guard, wraps, and a change of clothes — with room. The reinforced construction handles daily gym punishment.
Capacity: 40L (54×27×27 cm) | Heavy-duty microfiber | Reinforced zippers & straps | Leather Wai Kru patch

T-Shirt
C20 100% cotton. Clean dual-brand chest print. Full Spirit of Wai Kru back graphic in black, white, and gold. The front is minimal — dual logos, nothing more. Flip it and the full Wai Kru graphic hits.
The streetwear entry point to the collection. Wear it to the gym, to the airport, or to dinner after a competition.
Sizes: S / M / L / XL / 2XL | C20 100% Cotton | Full back graphic
Shop T-Shirt →Why This Collection Stands Out
Most collabs produce a t-shirt and call it a drop. This one produced six pieces with a unified visual system — same black base, same white and gold Lai Thai ornamentation, same Wai Kru fighter graphic — built to be worn together as a complete kit.
- Thai craftsmanship at source — gloves and shorts are handmade in Thailand by Fairtex's own production team, not outsourced
- Tokyo design precision — Reversal's graphic team in Japan built the Lai Thai and Wai Kru visual language with the depth it deserves
- Real performance specs — every garment was engineered to train in, not just to collect
- Cultural authenticity — the Wai Kru isn't a logo treatment; it's the entire concept behind the collection
- No restock — limited-edition drops at this level don't come back
Who This Collection Is For
The active fighter. If you train Muay Thai, MMA, or BJJ, this kit covers every session. Gloves, shorts, fight shorts, rash guard, and bag — all coordinated, all performance-grade.
The collector. Limited-edition Fairtex gear in collab with Reversal is not a common event. These pieces belong in the collection of anyone who takes fightwear seriously.
The streetwear-adjacent martial artist. The t-shirt, rash guard, and bag cross over naturally into everyday wear. The black and gold colorway is clean enough to leave the gym.
