New designer heavybag costs $175,000

When fascination with a subject reaches a point equivalent to seeing nekkid people of the sex you’re attracted to doing things you’re attracted to doing, then you can use the term “porn.” Movie series like Saw and Hostel are so entranced with physical torment that someone coined the term ‘torture porn’ for them. For me, it is gear porn.

I love high quality training gear. I love wondering about gear, talking about gear, pulling gear into pieces to see what is inside, looking at gear catalogues, buying gear, organizing gear in lines. I love putting my hands into gear, or my leg, or my head, and yes, even my groin goes inside gear. I love training with gear; I hate training without good gear.

And I have never seen anything like this gear from Louis Vuitton. It is part of the brand’s Celebrating Monogram project. The heavybag with accessories costs $175,000.

The New York Times Style Magazine explains.

For 118 years, Louis Vuitton has been embellishing everything from steamer trunks to cigar cases with its logo. But not until they enlisted the heavyweight designer Karl Lagerfeld did the house ever create a punching bag out of its classic canvas. This limited edition of 25, which comes with boxing gloves, a monogrammed mat and its own embossed luggage (for those who want to take their workout on the road), is part of a series of six collaborations Vuitton has undertaken with artistic luminaries such as Cindy Sherman, Frank Gehry and Rei Kawakubo.

CONOR MCGREGOR TAKE NOTE!

This is that it looks like. Note: The model just got done with a challenging cut, so no cutting remarks.

Hurry up and buy early. There are only 25 available, and Mayweather will probably snatch them all up.

Thanks to Kevin Iole for the find!
