History

Jacob Golomb founded Everlast in 1910 in the Bronx as a swimwear manufacturer. The company transitioned to boxing equipment in 1917 after designing headgear for Jack Dempsey. Everlast became synonymous with the sport's golden age, providing gear for Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson. Beyond the ring, the brand influenced the development of athletic apparel, transitioning from specialized sporting equipment to a staple of mid-century American sportswear and contemporary global streetwear.
