I replied to a recent thread about which locations in Tokyo to buy Winning gloves.
There are two shops that have them in stock.
These two shops are both open for retail sales.
1.) Center Sports in Shibuya.
They have the standard colors in stock.

2.) Fitness Shop in Suidobashi.
They have a huge selection, with many custom colors in stock.

Regarding prices in Japan. As of June 2020 the exchange rate is roughly:
¥10,000 is equal to $94 USD
¥20,000 is equal to $187 USD
¥30,000 is equal to $280 USD
¥40,000 is equal to $374 USD.
You'll have to do your own conversions in the future. But those rates are current as of June 2020.
I mentioned the shop in Shibuya called "Center Sports", they only stock the standard colors. Their prices are a little lower because they are NOT charging the 8% tax.
The Fitness Shop that the pictures below were taken at DOES charge the additional 8% tax.
Of course, Japan is expensive in general. It cost me ¥700 yen each way to take the train (approx. $13 round trip). and about ¥2,500 for parking at the train station. (approx. $22 USD)
Prices on Japanese products are high, but so is the cost of living as well as the cost of doing business.
With all of that being said, here are the pictures.
Cheers Gents!
