Both ;-)I like both pairs
AFAIK, the only major change was the the leather stitching pattern - the old style has seams that run along the edge of the corners of the pad, this used to cause some injury to people who don't have hard shins in the past. They would kick the seams at the edges of the pad and get bruised. The new style wraps the leather around the corners of the pad and has seams much higher up that tend not to get kicked as much. I've got the KPB and i think the CKPB. Leather may have changed over years, my old pair had really soft leather and the newer pair isn't as soft.Has anyone owned or used both the Boon NKPB and KPB thai pads? What are the differences between the two aside from the aesthetic ones? Are the NKPB an improvement over the KPB?
Based on your experience, do you think the NKPB would last longer than the KPB? I've never owned Thai pads, but they usually start breaking from the seams, right? The CKPB has the same wraparound leather design as the NKPB.AFAIK, the only major change was the the leather stitching pattern - the old style has seams that run along the edge of the corners of the pad, this used to cause some injury to people who don't have hard shins in the past.

I haven't used Twins in a long time. Their old pads were awesome & bullet proof. Buckles/straps would always fail before anything else. Boon are one of the few companies I'd put up there with Twins for longevity. For comparison, my Fairtex extra thick pads, the leather started having issues around the 1 year mark. I kept them going with leather conditioner, only to have the fake leather on the back flake off some time later. Meanwhile, my Boon small KPBs have been going strong for years & years.Based on your experience, do you think the NKPB would last longer than the KPB?

Also, how do Boon's pads compare to Twins? If you've used Twins pads before. Other forum posts comparing them are kinda outdated, considering Boon's designs seems to have changed quite a bit.
White pair look great. Would love them but 30cm is a hair too bigFinally arrived my custom Adams boxing boots. First workout done and feel very good, they are superlight. BTW white pair is for sale. Size UK 10, inner sole 30 cm. If anyone interested DM me.
It's actually 29 cm.White pair look great. Would love them but 30cm is a hair too big
Wow I love those boots!! These are on my want list for sure at some point. In the interim I managed to pick up a pair of these at a good price....glove collection has doubled this monthFinally arrived my custom Adams boxing boots.

Very nice!! Eager to hear a report
That's a nice pair of gloves. I would love to have a pair too, but I can't source them anywhere in decent price. I'm only not sure about this plastic on the back. If it will keep laces with lace'n'loop strap in place.Wow I love those boots!! These are on my want list for sure at some point.

Coach at my gym really rates them (he is pro fighter too). Initial impression are they are similar to winning / fly in terms of shape like a cross between the two. Padding a little firmer than winning. Leather is similar soft leather and the lining is really smooth. They have great reviews on fit2box as wellVery nice!! Eager to hear a report
The plastic looks really good I think if you just lacing up you would need to tape as well or tie them on the inside. I think with a lace converter will be fineThat's a nice pair of gloves.
