Oakley

Sphaera

Oakley says that Sphaera, pictured above, offers the storied sports eyewear company’s most extended field of view yet and an almost weightless feel when worn.

BiSphaera

Described as a versatile counterpart to the popular Flak 2.0 XL model, BiSphaera, pictured right, blends a sporty aesthetic with adaptability to get the wearer’s vision sport ready.

Designed to be used by athletes in both sport and life, these dual-lens performance sunglasses are said to seamlessly transition from dominating the field to everyday life.

 

O'Neil

ONS-9038

O’Neil has recently launched two new sports wrap designs that use curved shields to provide extra protection from wind, dust, and the sun’s UV rays.

The 9038 model, pictured right, is described as sleekly minimalist and is available in four saturated mirrored colour options.

ONS-9040

The 9040 design, pictured left, features sporty angular detailing and is available in the same colour options as its sibling frame.

Both designs benefit from patented technology including Hydrofreak lenses, which are said to offer exceptional high-quality optics, and Zerofoam, a lightweight, flexible, and impact resistant frame material.

 

Nike

Flyfree

Described as sporty and chic, Flyfree from the latest Nike eyewear collection, pictured right, is said to offer durability and customised comfort.

The frame is constructed from Eastman’s Acetate Renew, which allows the frame to meet the sustainability standards for Move to Zero, Nike’s journey toward zero carbon and zero waste.

 

Evil Eye

Capsule Collection

The new four-piece Capsule Collection from Evil Eye is based around the theme of ‘elevate your game’ and consists of some of the company’s most popular designs in a striking neon orange colour.

‘With this exceptional colour choice, we are meeting the strong market demand for neon colours and simultaneously making a statement in terms of brand visibility,’ says Daniel Saurug, product director at Evil Eye.

 

Rudy Project

Spinshield Air

Lightness, a wide field of vision and attention to design are said to define the Spinshield Air, pictured right, which, thanks to its half rim frame, is well suited for those seeking a light and impactful style.

Its cylindrical, wide-coverage lens is said to guarantee clear and safe peripheral vision, covering the eyes as well as possible and making it suited to both leisure and sporting activities such as jogging or cycling.

Cutline

Edgy sculpted design, wide shield lens, removable bumpers and an interchangeable lens system are said to make Cutline, pictured  right, an outstanding newcomer in the shield eyewear arena.

By combining a wraparound rimless lens with Rudy Project state-of-the-art eyewear technologies, Cutline has been designed with one purpose in mind: elevate your performance.

 

Tom Ford

Lorna

From Tom Ford’s Apres-Ski collection, Lorna is a sporty mask featuring a wraparound front with a refined leather insert and the iconic T logo.

The frame is offered in a wide selection of colours.
