Oakley introduces Latitude FW25, the latest evolution in its Morphware philosophy, blending adaptability and design innovation into apparel, footwear, and accessories. Drawing inspiration from natural forms like jellyfish and structural systems like parachutes, the collection aims to respond to shifting environments with lightweight protective layering.
Highlights include the Latitude Soar Parka with modular elements, a visor hood, and taped seams crafted for variable weather. Supporting pieces like the Soar Puffer Jacket, Shell Pant, and Mid Layer offer coordinated performance across conditions. In footwear, the Meridian Low Ext Boots and EON Alpha sneakers emphasize grip, ruggedness, and day-to-day versatility. Even its Plantaris eyewear integrates adaptability through adjustable temples and Prizm lens technology. With Latitude FW25, Oakley reinforces how form and function can coexist, making each piece at once expressive and engineered.
