The Oakley Sutro Eyeshade sunglasses are being brought back by the sportswear brand to provide consumers with a retro style that doesn't skimp on nostalgia. The eyewear style was first released by the brand in 1984 and features a design inspired by the company's founder Jim Jannard's previously created grips and goggles for motocross use. The throwback eyewear style has a full-width design that's characterized by a single-piece vented lens that's made with Prizm technology to increase visual clarity.
The Oakley Sutro Eyeshade sunglasses come in three color options, and join the classic Frogskins and Jawbreaker styles in the Origins collection. This provides consumers with a way to enhance their style with a touch of retro aesthetics.
