Shoyoroll Batch #5: blackSTAR-450 GSM is a legendary release that continues to hold a special place in the history of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu gear. Launched on April 6, 2009, this kimono is one of the most sought-after BJJ gis from Shoyoroll’s early batches, showcasing a timeless blend of durability, comfort, and minimalist style.

The blackSTAR gi features a Light Pearl Weave jacket, providing the perfect balance between lightweight comfort and long-lasting durability. The pearl weave is a favorite among practitioners because it resists heavy wear and tear while maintaining a breathable feel, making it ideal for both daily training and intense competition.

The gi is finished in a sleek black color, giving it the bold and iconic look that Shoyoroll fans admire. Unlike flashy designs, the blackSTAR carries a clean and minimalist style that emphasizes function over decoration. This simplicity has contributed to its lasting appeal, making it a true collector’s piece among BJJ practitioners and enthusiasts.

What makes the Batch #5: blackSTAR stand out is not just its technical specs but also its historical significance. Released at a time when Shoyoroll was rapidly gaining recognition, the blackSTAR helped solidify the brand’s reputation as a premium gi maker. Today, it remains highly respected within the BJJ community for its classic design and reliable performance.
