About this subject

Oakley, the American brand founded in 1975 by James Jannard, revolutionized sports eyewear with innovations like the Wraparound model. This design provides total coverage, protecting the eyes from wind, dust, and UV rays thanks to Plutonite lenses that block 100% of UVA/UVB and harmful blue light. The frame is made of O Matter, a lightweight and durable material, with Unobtainium ear socks for grip even when sweating.

Lenses can feature Prizm technology, which enhances contrast and visibility in different environments, or Iridium coatings that reduce glare. The model is popular among cyclists, runners, and pilots, offering stability and a wide field of view. Interestingly, Oakley sponsors elite athletes, such as Olympic sprinters and skateboarders, who use these sunglasses in competitions.

Culturally, wraparound sunglasses defined the 1990s and 2000s, appearing in films like "Terminator 2" and worn by extreme sports icons. The blend of functionality and style has made the line a lasting icon in both sports and streetwear.
