XXVI Wrestling Shoe — Legacy

A tribute to the greats. A blueprint for the future.

Legacy is the XXVI colorway built for wrestlers who understand the history of the sport — and want to carry it forward. This design pulls from some of the most iconic wrestling shoe colorways ever created: hot pink, baby blue, light blue, two shades of blue, and yellow. These tones defined eras, inspired generations, and became staples in wrestling culture.

Legacy honors those classics with a fan favorite teal colorway often seen back in the late 80's and early 90's and rebuilds them with the full power of modern XXVI engineering. It’s nostalgia sharpened by innovation.

The Evolution of the XXVI

The XXVI keeps the DNA of the XXV but elevates every detail for a more adaptable, more comfortable, and more competition‑ready experience:

Premium Zipper System

We upgraded to the highest‑quality zipper on the market, engineered for long‑term durability and smooth performance through every practice, match, and postseason run.

Wider, More Flexible Entry

We added material around the zipper connection point, giving the shoe more range and allowing wrestlers with wider feet to slip in easily — no more sizing up just to get in.

New Dri‑Fit Performance Strap

A redesigned strap that flexes naturally with every scramble, transition, and mat return. It tightens cleanly, moves with you, and adapts to all ankle shapes and sizes.

Same Trusted XXV Sole

Lightweight. Grippy. Explosive.
The XXVI keeps the outsole that made the XXV a favorite — engineered for traction at every angle you drive, cut, and finish.

Fit Guide

The XXVI fits true to size.

• If you’re between sizes and your foot is done growing → go down a half size.
• If you plan to keep the included laces in for extra tightness → go up a half size.
• Laces are optional — the zipper system alone locks you in — but they’re there if you want them.

And yes… we’re still the only wrestling shoe company offering a zipper system.
