A new material. A new chapter.

A new material -
A new chapter for King Kong

Last week I shared my first memory of training. By drawing inspiration from the days before elliptical trainers and smart watches, I'm ready to create my own training montage in the form of a timeless leather bag.

With 10+ years of experience in the bag game, I've spent countless hours thinking about how to revive and re-invent the classic athletic bag.

Leather yields strength and longevity. It's timeless and holds a sense of heritage. My goal is to create a leather athletic bag I'll be proud to carry both inside and outside the gym. One that will wear in over time, rather than wear out. A bag that will only get better with age, developing a unique patina as is it moulds to me and my training.

My non-negotiable? Using 100% full-grain American leather - equally rugged and refined. A leather that becomes softer, more flexible and more durable as it is used.

While vintage inspired, these bags won't be entirely traditional. Balancing classic touches with a modern shape. Although distinct from anything King Kong has released before, we're designing something that stays true to our philosophy.

Nothing ignites my fire more than working on a new bag design. I hope reading this excites and inspires you too.
