The Oakley® Ellipse represents a significant milestone in performance eyewear design. The silhouette commemorates five decades of the brand's technological innovation through a single, symbolic frame.
This anniversary collection synthesizes Oakley's heritage of boundary-pushing design with contemporary optical engineering. The model features a distinctive circular silhouette that pays homage to the company's iconic logo while incorporating signature technical elements from different eras. The frame's fusion of retro 90s-inspired curves with modern PhysioMorphic™ Geometry demonstrates Oakley's continued commitment to ergonomic precision. The use of proprietary materials like Unobtainium® and Plutonite®, on the other hand, maintains the brand's reputation for high-performance construction.
The performance eyewear design boasts a distinctive 50 Midas Fleck finish. Prizm™ Lens Technology ensures enhanced visual clarity, and Unobtainium® components boast a secure fit during active use.
