Gymshark unveils performance-driven Onyx V5

British activewear brand Gymshark has unveiled the design story behind its latest innovation, Onyx V5, through a video released by the company’s founder. The new development highlights Gymshark’s continued focus on performance-oriented design and material innovation within the fast-moving sportswear industry.

In the video, founder Ben Francis details the careful process behind creating the Onyx V5 shirt, emphasizing how years of research, testing, and athlete feedback contributed to the brand’s most advanced product range yet. The collection was developed using precision knitting techniques and engineered performance fabrics to enhance stretch, strength, and comfort.

Francis describes Onyx V5 as the result of Gymshark’s mission to balance functionality with design appeal. “We wanted to push the limits of what our knitwear and materials could achieve, lighter, stronger, and more responsive to movement,” he explained.

The Onyx V5 collection represents Gymshark’s growth from a small garage start-up to one of the UK’s leading global fitness brands. It reinforces the company’s ongoing commitment to innovation in material technology and design, creating activewear that supports both professional athletes and everyday fitness enthusiasts.
