ONYX × LUXIAOJUN: Craft Meets Champion

From Craft to Competition: The ONYX Story

ONYX was founded in Southern California by lifters who understood that mass-produced wraps often failed to meet the demands of serious strength athletes. Their handcrafted leather wrist wraps and straps quickly gained respect among elite weightlifters and world-team competitors. Over the years, ONYX became known for combining premium materials with minimalist design and precise craftsmanship, serving both Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting communities.

What truly defines ONYX is its commitment to craftsmanship and performance. Every piece is built using high-quality leather, durable stitching, and robust buckles designed to withstand the heaviest loads. Their focus has always been on function—supporting lifters through demanding sessions while preventing strain and injury. By staying loyal to athletes and craftsmanship over mass appeal, ONYX carved a respected niche within the strength community.

The ONYX × LUXIAOJUN Collaboration

The collaboration between ONYX and LUXIAOJUN represents the merging of two powerful philosophies—artisan gear making and athlete-driven excellence. LUXIAOJUN, the brand built around Olympic champion Lu Xiaojun, partnered with ONYX to create a special edition high-top wrist wrap. The product features premium leather, enhanced wrist coverage, and sleek co-branding that blends performance with style.

This partnership goes far beyond a product launch. It symbolizes a shared vision of precision, durability, and peak performance. ONYX brings years of gear innovation and craftsmanship, while LUXIAOJUN contributes world-class athletic insight and design influence. Together, they’ve created a wrap that not only performs under heavy load but also represents a lifestyle—discipline, strength, and the pursuit of excellence.

Raising the Bar: Beyond the Platform

When industry leaders like ONYX and LUXIAOJUN come together, the entire sport benefits. These collaborations push the boundaries of innovation by combining different forms of expertise—gear manufacturing meets athlete experience. This not only raises the standard for lifting equipment but also inspires the next generation of lifters to value quality and longevity.

Beyond performance, partnerships like this give weightlifting greater visibility. They spark interest outside of traditional lifting circles, attract new athletes, and help normalize high-performance gear as a part of safe, sustainable training. With better support tools, lifters can train heavier, recover faster, and perform longer. These collaborations elevate the sport, blending culture, craftsmanship, and community into a shared pursuit of progress.
