The Rainbow Spats were one of our most iconic early releases. During a time when the jiujitsu market was really taking itself too seriously, we thought that multicoloured tights would be a great idea – and they were. We sold a lot, and this was at a time when most jiujitsu brands still didn’t even have tights or spats as part of their lineup.

No doubt Shinya Aoki had a hand in spreading their popularity as grappling attire around the world, and we took that global interest and made it into a product you could actually buy.

Now in our 10th anniversary year, we have revisited the best-selling Rainbow spats and updated them, with our custom fit and much improved materials and waistband. We applied a black and white branding band to separate out the rainbow colours but other than that we have not messed with the formula too much.

Scheduled to drop Wednesday 31 July at 17:00 BST (UK TIME)
