About APEX Wear

Why
APEX?

APEX focuses on reaching the apex of your own potential. We have three fundamental pillars on which our brand builds upon — community, mentality, and style.

We want to use this brand to showcase the mentality of people in the fighting community. To blend the boundaries between athletic and casual wear. Creating products that merge performance and style.

Be proud of your love and passion — wear it everywhere.

Founded in Amsterdam

Built by
Fighters,
For Fighters

APEX Wear was born during the pandemic lockdown — when the gyms were closed but the passion never stopped. We started because we loved combat sports and couldn't find gear that matched how we felt about it.

"We love the fighting community. That's the reason we started APEX. Let's reach the apex — together."

From Amsterdam, we design and deliver premium combat sports apparel that crosses over. Gear you're proud to wear to the gym, on the street, or anywhere in between.

What We
Stand For

01
Community
You never reach the apex alone. APEX connects fighters, teams, and gyms across the Netherlands and beyond — because the fight game is better together. We sponsor athletes, partner with gyms, and show up at events. This isn't just a brand, it's a movement.
02
Mentality
The mindset that gets you on the mat at 6am — that pushes you through the last round. Fighters are built different. APEX is here to showcase the mentality of people in the fighting community, which may prove to be their best trait.
03
Style
Fightwear that crosses over. APEX merges the boundaries between athletic and casual wear — creating products that blend performance and looks. Be proud of your love and passion, wear it on you everywhere you go.

The Idea

During the lockdown, with gyms closed across the Netherlands, the idea for APEX was born. A combat sports brand that looked as good on the street as it performed in the ring.
