For decades, Oakley has been blending sport and style to influence eyewear trends across the globe. The brand has become an anchor in the functional fashion market for UV blocking, prescription, and polarized sunglasses. Their latest PRIZM lenses not only reduce or eliminate glare altogether, they practically give your eyeballs superpowers. PRIZM lenses are designed to enhance color, contrast, and detail as well. While the tech is available in almost every frame, some frames just seem better for highlighting the enhancements.
This is where the new Oakley Sutro gets to flex a little, or maybe a lot. With the demands and specs for competitive cycling driving the design of the Sutro, somebody on the team added a bit of style and a ton of cowabunga. A frame fit for the boldest of styles off of the saddle is right at home on a road bike tucked in a draft line while attacking a Strava stage full speed. The lightweight, durable “O Matter” frame material makes the oversized shield feel like it’s floating on your face. Unobtainium nose pads increase grip with perspiration to help keep the eyewear securely in place.
The brand is no stranger to an iconic sport-inspired shield style frame and lens, practically defining the late ’80s in one classic design. We may be witnessing a frame capable of that same time travel nostalgia the Oakley Blade gives us every time we see a pair in an old photo.
Get more acquainted with the Sutro in the images and stop by Oakley or your local retailer to check them out for yourself.
