Everlast, the well known sports equipment provider has made a move into the gaming sector with some real deal Wii boxing gloves, which are priced at £30. They are 3.8 ounce synthetic leather training gloves with obviously design alterations to support the Wii's control system.

While the standard Wii remote was a major improvement in interactive gaming, the gloves, created by Everlast Worldwide and Company X Accessories and priced at $30, offer a much better virtual-boxing experience.

They’re real 3.8-ounce synthetic-leather training gloves, with straps for the Wii remote in range of the Wii’s sensor. An opening for your fingers makes pushing buttons fairly easy. The sensor still takes some getting used to, but the gloves give you some sense of being in the ring — and also a pretty good workout.
