Everlast is a brand name of boxing equipment manufacturer based in New York. It was founded by Jack Golomb in 1910, and later run by his son, Dan Golomb. The Company is currently run by Adam Geisler.
Everlast produces a large quantity of boxing gloves and other boxing-related equipment such as heavy bags and headgear for amateur boxers. It also has granted a large number of licenses for a diverse range of products including men's and women's athletic apparel, sports-nutrition products, and athletic footwear. The Company's products are marketed on a global basis and its international business is predominantly conducted through distributorship arrangements.
Everlast products are known for their quality and durability and are used in amateur and professional boxing contests as well as on gyms and training camps.
Everlast competes in their market with other top boxing equipment marks such as Rival, Cleto Reyes, Windy, Lonsdale, Twins, Fairtex, Throwdown, adidas, Tuf-Wear, Grant, Winning, Title and Ringside Products.
Everlast has been providing equipment for the television show The Contender.
The video game Fight Night: Round 3 features equipment bearing the Everlast name.
In 2006, Everlast released a fragrance called "Original 1910".
In early June, Everlast became the subject of a takeover bid by the Hidary Group at $26.50 per share, valuing the company at around $150 million. After subsequent interventions by Aquamarine Capital Management and Galt Investments, Sports Direct, a UK based company which owns brands such as Slazenger, Donnay and Dunlop put in a bid at $33 per share, valuing the company at closer to $200 million.
In September 2007, Sports Direct completed its purchase of Everlast for $182.3 million.
