Gladiator: Shin Greaves / Guards - Prop or Replica

Gladiator : Shin Greaves / Guards — Prop or Replica

Metal meets myth—built to stride the sands of the Colosseum.

Maximus never went to battle half-dressed. The carved lines and blackened sheen of his greaves did more than protect— they told the crowd who owned the arena that day. Our Gladiator shin greaves channel that same presence, shaped from detailed screen references to capture the flowing relief work and purposeful wear. The ABS+ shells have a confident, leather-like flex with the right weight in hand; steel lacing loops are bronzed and threaded with real leather cord so they tie off like period kit. Subtle silvering rides the raised motifs, and the edges are softened for comfort. Straight from the Props & Pixels Perth workshop, these arrive ready to lace and wear—no finishing, no fuss.
