MIAMI, FLORIDA: Valentine Aseyov appears on Season 15, Episode 2 of 'Shark Tank' to popularize his Matador Meggings. Valentine requested cash from the Sharks in order to advance his brand.
Matador Meggings was founded on the premise that men should have access to high-quality leggings designed exclusively for the male anatomy and should be able to wear them confidently, much like the original bullfighters of Spain.
Their iconic men's leggings are constructed of sweat-wicking performance fabric and feature a soft molded crotch cup with No-VPL Technology (visible penis line), which conceals the groin and provides support where it counts. A open phone pocket, a zipper pocket for valuables, and a t-shirt or towel loop make these meggings suitable for the modern man's needs.
Valentine will pitch his unique concept to the Sharks — Mark Cuban, Kevin O'Leary, Lori Greiner, Daymond John, and guest Shark Daniel Lubetzky — in the upcoming episode 2 of 'Shark Tank' Season 15.
While we will have to wait and see if the patches make an effect on the Sharks, you can discover more about Matador Meggings and its inventor here.
What is Matador Meggings?
Matador Meggings has filled a gap in the market with its unusual approach to leggings. Re-engineering leggings to fit the male anatomy, it has created a line of high-performance meggings with unique, practical characteristics.
The term Matador Meggings is inspired by classic Spanish bullfighting, with matadors being hypermasculine individuals. These bullfighters needed trousers that were tight but not constrictive. Matador Meggings was created by capturing the spirit of these bull fighters.
Matador Meggings product line
One of the brand's distinguishing characteristics is its rigorous attention to detail in product design. Matador Meggings has a whole line of high-performance leggings, designed for guys that are differentiated by numerous distinct features.
A soft-material moulded crotch cup provides both concealment and support, and is particularly adapted to the male anatomy.
Functionality extends beyond comfort, as the leggings have a variety of useful features. Besides the pockets, these leggings also include a built-in drawstring that allows wearers to alter the fit to their liking.
The t-shirt or towel loop is one distinguishing characteristic of these leggings. During exercises, this loop at the rear of the trousers provides a practical storage solution. The fabric used to make these leggings is not only strong but also sweat-wicking.
This guarantees that the leggings not only endure a long time but also provide excellent comfort by keeping the wearer dry throughout strenuous physical activity.
The design also pays respect to the company's bullfighting muse. The leggings have spiraling stripes that represent the horns of a bull, offering a distinctive visual touch.
Who is the founder of Matador Meggings?
Valentine worked in technology before entering the area of athletic clothing, with firms such as Bandsintown, IBM, and Facebook.
With a diverse career that includes work in product development, promotion, marketing, and sales, he has shown to be adept at wearing numerous hats - both metaphorically and physically.
Valentine found himself the odd man out in a room full of ladies wearing yoga pants while studying to become a 200-hour certified yoga instructor.
Matador Meggings were inspired by the absence of leggings designed particularly for men. He is not only the CEO, but also a designer, developer, marketer, and customer service representative.
He describes himself as a "first-time entrepreneur," yet he has a plethora of various skills that help determine the brand's path.
What is the cost, and where to buy Matador Meggings?
Matador Meggings takes their name from Matadors, who wear tight-fitting trousers for movement. The company's initial design is inspired by the horns of a bull. A pair of meggings will cost you $90 and is available in a number of styles. Belt bags, chest bags, water bottles, and reflective belts are also available.
The products are available for purchase on both Amazon and their official website.
Fans have left positive reviews on their official website including, "They feel weightless and were exactly what I was looking for in helping me feel more confident in my own body. Much thanks, Valentine and Team!"
Another user chimed in, "Great fit and very comfortable,they feel great to wear will definitely be buying more."
One user also wrote, "Matador does not disappoint. They fit great and look great. Perfect for working out or just going leisure for the day." A fourth user commented, "Matador never disappoints! These look great and fit even better."
Where is Matador Meggings now?
Valentine is now ready to enter 'Shark Tank,' looking for money and mentoring to take Matador Meggings to the next level. He's prepared with an enticing presentation that emphasizes the huge need for men's sportswear and his innovative strategy to meet it.
Who will steal the deal?
Daymond John or Mark Cuban may steal the deal, and Matador Meggings could be an ideal addition to their portfolio. However the brand's sales statistics and profit margins will ultimately determine whether or not the sharks invest in the firm. So we'll just have to wait and see whether the Sharks strike a deal.
'Shark Tank' Season 15, Episode 2, airs on ABC on Friday, October 6, 2023, at 8 pm ET. Catch the latest episode featuring products like TOAST-IT, Storm Bags, Matador Male Meggings, and ReturnHome Human Composting.
