Sunglasses, goggle and apparel brand Oakley has come together with a performance road-wear company to create a Team-Rapha FOCUS sunglasses collection.
Oakley and Rapha collaborated and came up with two new and limited edition pairs of shades, a classic Oakley's Frogkin and Radarlock style. The shades are vibrant with a striped blue, green and red design on every pair. As well, each one has a white base color and comes with signature Oakley branding and bag that doubles as a lens cloth. These playful accessories are multifunctional, as you can wear them cycling and while engaging in sports or bust them out for lounging and protection from the sun's rays. These Oakley shades are meant to promote sponsorship and endorsements of cycling, sport and leisure.
An added bonus is the Oakley Team-Rapha FOCUS sunglasses are being auctioned off with team cards, so act quick and place a bid.
