Ronin: An Eco-Friendly Alternative For Fightwear
Ronin Fightwear is an upcoming brand focusing on sustainable and eco-friendly fightwear. Working with the international conservation charity World Land Trust, Ronin has four ideologies:
1. The use of bamboo
2. Planting trees
3. Recycled packaging
4. Quick drying
These targets demonstrate that Ronin’s products are progressively designed and take a clear stance on the climate crisis: we must fight back.
Ronin’s fightwear ranges from vests and shirts to shorts, boxing gloves, and ankle support braces. Sustainability in fashion has often been hindered by misconceptions that the ensuing products will lack style or creativity, but Ronin’s minimalist designs are sophisticated, flattering and attractive. Garments specialised with compression technology fit effectively around the body, prioritising comfort and flexibility. Ronin also sells accessories such as rings and water bottles, allowing dedicated fans to display their support outside of fighting spaces. The brand has also sponsored professional fighters, such as former Muay Thai world champion Jonathon Haggerty, and MMA athletes Reinier de Ridder and Amir Albazi. This highlights Ronin’s goal to expand its fightwear audience – although its clothing is specialised, it is also adaptable and can be worn for general exercise, opening space for potential future endeavours in gymwear.
In its partnership with the World Land Trust (WLT), Ronin has helped contribute to the purchase and protection of an estimated 2.2 million acres of tropical rainforest and other threatened habitats. In doing so, WLT has been able to set up essential corridors which provide animals in threatened environments with safer routes of transportation. They have also empowered local partners to join in on this project, teaching local organisations and conservation NGOs around the world to help fund land purchases, wildlife reserve management and ranger’s salaries. Helping to fight against illegal hunting and deforestation, WLT has also opened an essential dialogue about the future of rainforests and the wildlife that inhabit them. Their work in protecting these crucial habitats has meant that, with the support of patrons like Sir David Attenborough and environmental lobbyists, developments in agriculture, mining and bridge-building in key conservation areas have been successfully prevented.
“Our apparel is designed to ensure peak performance through even the most gruelling of workouts. Our lightweight apparel is breathable and flexible, allowing you to get the most out of every session. Combining durability with comfort, we only use premium quality fibre in order to produce a product that excels in looks and performance.”
“World Land Trust and its overseas project partners have been instrumental in the purchase and protection of more than 2,222,247 acres of tropical forest and other threatened habitats, and together ensure that more than four million acres of land is managed under active protection worldwide.”
If you believe in these same environmental ethics, then Ronin fightwear is for you. Modern, stylish, and above all sustainable, it is the latest up and coming brand for those looking to invest in more conscious fashion.
