Designing a cohesive boxing collection in collaboration with Floyd Mayweather
Overview
This project involved leading the design and development of a comprehensive boxing collection in collaboration with Floyd Mayweather for his gym brand. Spanning gloves, footwear, wraps, and training accessories, the goal was to translate Mayweather’s luxury identity into high-performance products while maintaining Hayabusa’s technical standards and manufacturing excellence across six suppliers.
The result was a fully aligned, multi-category collection delivered to market with cohesive branding, optimized performance, and cross-supplier manufacturing coordination.

Brand & Design Alignment
Translating luxury branding into a performance-driven system
The collection unified Floyd Mayweather’s luxury-forward brand identity with Hayabusa’s reputation for engineering-led performance equipment. The objective was not aesthetic alignment alone, but the creation of a scalable design language capable of extending across gloves, footwear, bags, and accessories.
This collection unified Mayweather’s luxury brand language with Hayabusa’s engineering standards, creating a cohesive design system applied across every category.
Full Development Process
End-to-end collection development
This collection was developed through a structured five-phase process, aligning brand strategy, product engineering, supplier coordination, and launch execution. Each stage reinforced performance standards while maintaining cross-category cohesion.

Concept Development
Translating brand strategy into tiered product concepts
Initial concepts translated the defined brand language into a structured three-tier product system. Each tier balanced performance features, material elevation, and visual restraint while maintaining cohesion across gloves, footwear, bags, and accessories.

Full Collection Execution
The final collection spanned gloves, wraps, footwear, bags, and accessories unified through a tiered design system and executed across multiple suppliers for synchronized market launch.
Prototyping & Development
Managing cross-supplier complexity for a unified collection
Maintaining brand cohesion across six manufacturing partners required structured design governance across multiple product categories. Each supplier operated within different technical constraints, sampling capabilities, and production workflows. Alignment was achieved through rigorous technical documentation, standardized material systems, and iterative cross-supplier feedback to ensure the final collection delivered a unified design language at scale.
Delivering a cohesive collection across six manufacturers required structured coordination and design oversight.
Standardized tech packs, controlled material palettes, and iterative supplier feedback ensured every product reflected a unified brand language.
Sample Refinement
Throughout development, each prototype was systematically evaluated against performance requirements, usability standards, and brand intent. Fit, construction tolerances, material behavior, and visual detailing were refined through iterative sampling cycles to ensure every product met functional expectations while reinforcing the collection’s unified design language across gloves, wraps, footwear, and bags.

Key Takeaways
Reflections & Next Steps
Managing a multi-category collection across six manufacturing partners required structured design governance and consistent execution standards. Variations in supplier capabilities, tooling, and workflows were aligned through standardized material systems, rigorous technical documentation, and disciplined communication processes to ensure cohesive brand expression at scale.
This project strengthened my ability to lead cross-supplier ecosystems while maintaining design integrity across diverse product categories. Moving forward, I am focused on formalizing earlier prototype validation checkpoints and expanding supplier alignment frameworks to further reduce iteration cycles and improve production efficiency.
