Oakley is known for its sleek and sporty design language and for its latest drop, the Racing Jacket takes the spotlight for the season. The silhouette returns after a 25-year hiatus and it is essentially an interpretation of the brand's first-ever dual-lens performance eyewear. It is made to fit the face in a similar way that a jacket fits along one's body.
The colorway is inspired by Call of Duty as it references Modern Warfare 2. The retro design is detailed with a Red Tiger camouflage finish and it frames Prizm Black lenses. This breaches a new era this time around and the launch is set for May 4th with a limited quantity of only 375 pairs that come in a premium collector's box.
