The New Wave Collection was inspired by the next generation of fighters. These are the individuals who have been working in silence, motivated by a dream, dedicating themselves, and making sacrifices daily. We all represent the New Wave. We are the next generation of fighters, coaches, fans, and more. This collection embodies the collective grit we all possess—the obsessive drive that pushes us to succeed in whatever we do, in any way possible. Reality can be harsh, especially in the fight world, and dreams may not always come true, but that doesn’t mean we will stop working.

AN ODE TO THE NEXT GENERATION.

APEX is an Amsterdam based athletic wear brand that focuses on combat sports. Established during the pandemic lockdown, the brand wants to highlight the passion and love we have for the sport. For most of us this love has turned into much more, a lifestyle. APEX tries to cater to that lifestyle by creating premium products.

Products that help performance but also has the looks. Merging the boundaries between 'fightwear' and street wear. We love the fighting community and that is the reason we have started APEX.

Gym Minang

Gym Minang x APEX Wear: Tradition Meets Modern Combat. Gym Minang, a staple in Hoofddorp, was founded by Roy Smith and Andy Rademaker, rooted in Silat. They’ve evolved to include kickboxing and boxing, creating a unique style. Now, Roy’s son Jay Smith is adding MMA to the mix. We designed a collection for them, featuring fight jerseys, shorts, and hoodies, with patterns inspired by traditional Indonesian batik art, honoring their Silat roots.

Amsterdam Airlines

We’re stoked to announce a dope collaboration with another powerhouse in Amsterdam, the Amsterdam Airlines team. This unique MMA and Wrestling-focused takedown team is one of a kind in the city. We teamed up to design and produce their custom team jerseys, taking their cool idea of basing the design on the iconic AJAX football jerseys and adding our signature APEX style to it. This project is a testament to our shared passion for high-quality fightwear and custom team gear. Join us in celebrating this fresh collaboration with one of Amsterdam’s elite combat sports teams.

Back2Base

We are excited to share our newest collab with a gym in Uithoorn that embraces the heritage of combat sports in the Netherlands. Back2Base is a welcoming gym for all that focuses on striking arts. Back2Base welcomes the fact that the modern ‘Dutch Kickboxing style’ originated from Kyokushin karate.

Robin Gracie Amsterdam

We are happy to work together with an official Robin Gracie affiliate school in Amsterdam. Led by the always composed Nashebo Noya who got his blackbelt directly under Robin Gracie.

Amsterdam Grappling Academy

We are excited to show off our second collaboration with the up and coming competition team Amsterdam Grappling Academy! This new team on the block is hungry to take over the competition scene in the Netherlands and then in Europe. With dedicated members who believe in their vision there is no disputing the fact that they will continue to grow fast.

Meraki Aalsmeer

Proud to announce the very first collaboration to be with local MMA gym: Meraki Aalsmeer. All though a smaller gym located in the outskirts of Amsterdam, the gym is known for heavy training sessions and a meeting place for many big names in the grappling and MMA world.
