Golf-Catered Eyewear Capsules

Oakley's Thermonuclear Protection Collection Boasts Nostalgia

— February 28, 2019 — Fashion
Oakley introduces its latest Thermonuclear Protection Collection, which is constructed to be the perfect fusion of urban golf elements and streetwear aesthetics. The capsule showcases nostalgic elements with the punk-like prints and fabrics including stone-washes, sherpa, and terry cloth used in the construction of the apparel options. There are also bold pattern accents that add to the label's signature eyewear shapes, which have been elevated to reference the 90s.

The inspiration is drawn from golf's aesthetics including polished pants, polos, and parkas. Streetwear factors are informed through the flame and camo prints found across hoodies and tees. Additional pieces in the Thermonuclear Protection Collection include cropped polos, mini skirts, as well as California-inspired dresses -- all of which recall the earlier era of the 90s.
