A Breath of Summer with Onia Resort

It may be cold, cloudy and wet where you are living at the moment so we thought we would post some pictures of warm weather wear to remind you it won’t last forever.

Onia has rolled out their resort collection, just in time for those New Year getaways to tropical spots. In fact, Carl Cunow and Nathan Romano (the guys behind the line) were inspired by the spectacular landscapes and exotic wildlife of Costa Rica.

Derived from the Hebrew word for “ship”, Onia has quickly become a distinguished men’s swimwear brand that was created in 2009 as Cunow and Romano’s answer to too many ill-fitting board shorts, uninspired trunks and garish prints. Instead, they envisioned a sharper, smarter, more technical swimsuit that would function stylishly on the beach and beyond. They built Onia around fits and styles that would appeal to the design-conscious guy who wants a swimsuit that is functional, frill-free and flattering. And guys are lining up to by up and give thanks.

Onia uses the highest quality sourced materials from the mesh lining and woven ties to the functional pockets, clean finished seams and antique nickel hardware – details that tell a story of superior craftsmanship. Putting a premium on functionality, Onia features deep pockets for keys, wallets or board wax, snap closures to keep things secure and locker loops keep them handy.

We are fans of the great colors the guys chose for the Calder shorts (go on, try a kiwi color and brighten things up a bit!) and the Jack shirt may just be what we wear all summer with it’s comfy linen and cotton blend. So take a moment to daydream of the sound of the ocean, then book that trip and buy them shorts and you are good to go.

While its design might not seem drastically different from other New Balance sneakers, the 992 silhouette has earned its status as one of the most popular in the brand’s lineup. First released in 2006 to commemorate the brand’s 100th anniversary, the 992 gained notoriety as the go-to sneaker for the late Steve Jobs. As part of his uniform, the 992 became a go-to practical shoe for many. While Steve Jobs was keen on the sneaker’s grey shade, the newest release of the sneaker sets out to give this silhouette a moodier feel. Not straying too far from its traditional look, the latest 992 will feature a darker colorway, making it a perfect option for those seeking a comfortable shoe later in the year.
