1982: The Year The Hitman Took Over Japan. "Japanese audiences are great audiences, but they’re just really hard to win over. You really have to know how to pull their strings.” February 5, 1982. The Nakajima Athletic Club in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. Before the sunglasses and pink singlets, a young, brash Canadian wrestler named Bret Hart took on the legendary Tiger Mask, which brought the Japanese faithful out of their seats. It was a culture clash of a wrestling match, and it was a chapter in lore for the great Hitman! Our new sweatsuit throws back to one of Hart’s iconic adventures in Japan!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Rep Boston Green From Head To Toe. “I’m very simple. I’m not for the flashes, I’m not for glitz and glamour, you know?” Glamour? No. Fear? Definitely. When Kevin Garnett came to the Garden, the party got started. At 6-foot-11, with freakish athleticism and with the intensity of a hissing live wire, the energy levels were ratcheted up to 1000. Soon, anyone who stepped foot on the famed parquet floor knew they were about to encounter one of the fiercest competitors in basketball history, who had only one speed — and his engine was constantly redlined. 📸 - @clay_patrick_mcbride .

“I am a boxer for the people. I am one of them.” You bring the fight, you become a legend. You do it over the course of 115 fights, each with a blazing spotlight getting hotter — each with the flag of Mexico draped over your shoulder, and a million fans chanting your name — you become Julio César Chávez. The Caesar of Boxing. The epitome of Mexico’s fighting spirit, the warrior who rose from Culiacan, Sinaloa, Mexico and touched every corner of the globe by bringing the fight. The numbers speak for themselves. 107-6-2. The legend speaks forever. When we launched @jcchavez115 ’s jacket last year, we sold out in just a few days. We received a ton of messages from the Chávez fans asking us to bring this design back. We listened and have brought it back on our signature, supersoft, Ivory Crewneck.

“I am the greatest heel, which means the bad guy in the wrestling history.” With his chest puffed out proudly and arms akimbo, the lasting image of the @therealironsheik standing in defiance of the American public is embedded in pro wrestling’s psyche. As far as heels go, nobody rivaled the Sheik — the man who brought the old country to the squared circle and ultimately humbled the playing field. In the words of the Iron Sheik himself, “I’m the legend. I always be the legend.” Join us in celebrating the 'legend of the Earth's' birthday with our Spring Sale across his entire collection.

The house of world champions. The most feared five letters in the sweet science. KRONK. To hear that word meant a caliber of boxer that was above the cut. It meant toughness and grit and explosive power. There was magic in the gold trunks, and it came from the blood, sweat and tears from the legends who made the Kronk Gym what it is. It was the door that led many to pain and fame. Link in bio #RootsofFight #KnowYourRoots

“Love is more important than what we can take. Say it with me — “Love! Love! Love!” No singular athlete has meant more to the world than Pelé. As a child growing up in Brazil, he was poor. By the time he was a teenager, he was playing professional soccer. Then the World Cup. He traveled the globe and spread good will, both through his play on the pitch and in activism and involvement. At the end he was rich, yet not with material things. With love. Soccer wasn’t just a sport to @Pel é. It was a connection between all belief systems, every racial divide, every political spectrum, every class, creed, and nationality. It was what united the world. And he was the face of soccer because he dedicated his life to holding that connection. That was Pelé’s message. Love! Love! Love! That’s what fueled his greatness. We pay tribute to the King with this new collection celebrating his life and legacy. All royalties go to the Pelé Foundation to honor and help continue his life’s work, helping to make the world a better place. Link in bio #RootsofFight #KnowYourRoots

"Why should I stretch? Does a cheetah stretch before it chases its prey?” April 3, 1989. The Kid stepped up to the plate for the first time. Nobody had arrived to the Big Leagues with as much fanfare. Nobody carried the expectations of the 19-year-old phenom. And treated pressure with the kind of ease that @therealkengriffeyjr did. It was in the smile, as much as it was in the swing. He doubled in that first at bat in Oakland. And he homered in his first home game in Seattle a week later. Pressure? Pssht. New electric blue colorway brings extra energy to The Kid's collection - now included in our sitewide Spring Sale! Link in bio #RootsofFight #KnowYourRoots

“Do something worth remembering.” - @elvis The King could do anything. He shook up the world and stole the hearts of every girl when he arrived on the scene. It was the magic in his movement. The danger in his hips. Gyrations through generations, the rebellion in the lyrics. And he was the Tiger Man at root. Call him king and love him tender, but throw a punch and three get returned to sender — the King knew his roots, and that greatness is plural. For when the King strikes the pose, it’s to take on the world. #Elvis #tigerman #RootsofFight #KnowYourRoots
