Spring is a period of rejuvenation, but for the Samurai it was a reminder of the fleeting nature of life….
As the snow melted away, the bleached bones of the dead warriors from the battles of the previous fall will become exposed, reminding the ronins passing by that although the stories of their exploits might last an eternity, their flesh is still of a mere mortal.
This is the origin of the Nozarashi - Bleached Bones - concept.
Our quest to develop the most comfortable training shorts ever is still on going, but we believe our new Shodan Shorts are really close to perfection.
The ultra light and flexible outer layer has been meticulously matched with an extremely comfortable 4 way stretch under pant that will fit around your waist and leg and feel by all means like a protective second layer of skin.
It seems impossible but the overall weight of the shorts has not changed from traditional ones, just now the comfort level is now off the charts.
As expected Half Sumo hand drawn Irezumi style graphics were reproduced with high fidelity on the garment through ever lasting sublimation printing. In this unique edition we have sublimated on the underlayer all our favorite BJJ submissions in our unique Halfsumo style.
Additionally a mix of flat woven and rubberized patches adorn the short to give it not only a premium feel, but a unique look.
Two non intrusive side pockets with optimal velcro closures allow both for safe grappling and for carrying one's small belongings when at the gym or out and about.
Wash Cold, Hang Dry for best safekeeping.
Limited quantities available. Fits as expected.
