Time moves way too fast. Just realised RED Day was 12 years ago. Crazy.

Sport frames seem to be commanding a higher price than lifestyle, so perhaps the final MSRP would be even more of a shock had they gone that route.

Since 1975, Oakley has pioneered sport and culture through breakthrough technology and future-forward design. And now, Meta and Oakley are teaming up to deliver a brand-new category of Performance AI glasses. ​

Oakley Meta glasses are a new product line that will combine Oakley’s signature design DNA with Meta’s industry-leading technology to give you deeper insights into your physical capabilities and help you share your biggest wins—on and off the field. The line will launch in a new global campaign starring Team Oakley athletes: World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé and three-time Super Bowl MVP Patrick Mahomes. ​

“For 50 years, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of what is possible, obsessed with solving unsolved problems,” said Caio Amato, Global President of Oakley. “Together with Meta we are setting new bounds of reality – It is not only about pushing forward performance, but also about amplifying human potential as never before. And this is just the first chapter of a new era for sports.” ​

“This marks a bold new chapter in our wearables journey. With Oakley’s iconic design legacy and Meta’s breakthroughs in AI and spatial computing, we’re setting a new standard for the industry,” said Rocco Basilico, Chief Wearables Officer at EssilorLuxottica. “It’s part of a broader multi-brand, multi-technology strategy that reflects the scale of our ambition: to build a connected eyewear category that spans lifestyles, communities, and use cases. We’re combining design, utility, and emotion to deepen human connection and unlock new potential through the lens of every brand we touch. And there is far more to come.” ​

Introducing Oakley Meta HSTN ​

Our first product for athletes and fans alike, Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn) combines bold aesthetics with cutting-edge tech. Capture the action completely hands-free with the built-in camera and share your unique POV. ​ Get pumped up with your favorite playlist, listen to podcasts, and more, thanks to powerful open-ear speakers seamlessly integrated into the frames. And with an IPX4 water resistance rating, you can push yourself to the outer limits of your potential. ​ ​

"Glasses have emerged as the ideal tool for people to listen to music, capture videos, and get the help of a powerful AI assistant”, said Alex Himel, VP of Wearables at Meta. “We’re proud of the success of Ray-Ban Meta glasses and excited to now expand our work with Oakley, the most iconic eyewear brand in sports innovation. Our teams have been working together for years to understand the unique needs of athletes, and we can’t wait to deliver new experiences that integrate into their everyday life, both on and off the field.”

Oakley Meta HSTN is taking the game to the next level with features that represent the evolution of AI glasses: ​ ​ ​ ​

More Battery Stamina: Oakley Meta HSTN will also provide 40% longer battery life, lasting up to eight hours of typical use and up to 19 hours on standby. The glasses also come with a charging case that can deliver up to 48 hours of charging on the go.
Higher Resolution Camera: Oakley Meta HSTN, the first product in the collection, will include key tech improvements, including Ultra HD 3K recording, so videos will be clearer and higher resolution than Full HD (1080p).
Meta AI meets Performance AI glasses: With Meta AI, your personal AI assistant, built in, athletes can get more out of their Oakley Meta HSTNs right out of the box. ​ For example, you can level up the competition in a whole new way when playing a round of golf. Need to know how the wind is going to affect your drive? Ask, “Hey Meta, how strong is the wind today?” and channel your inner Team Oakley Athlete J.R. Smith. Or, like Boo Johnson, record epic moments and post to Stories, hands-free, by saying “Hey Meta, take a video.” Get answers to a range of questions, whether you’re improving your game or checking the surf conditions. ​
Design Details ​

Select pairs of Oakley Meta HSTN glasses come with Oakley® PRIZM™ Lens technology, one of the most advanced innovations in lens design. By decoding how the brain and eye process light, Oakley engineered a way to enhance vision and amplify contrast across changing light and weather conditions. This revolutionary technology fine-tunes the light spectrum, amplifying color while filtering out visual noise. Proprietary PRIZM™ dyes manipulate light at a molecular level, enhancing detail and transforming your surroundings into vivid, high-definition clarity. This allows subtle visual cues to come sharply into view, helping wearers see more, react quicker, and perform at their peak. ​ ​ ​

Of course, it’s good to have options. That’s why we’ve put together a lineup of six frame and lens color combos, all Rx-ready so you can pick the perfect pair:

Oakley Meta HSTN Warm Grey with PRIZM™ Ruby Lenses ​ ​
Oakley Meta HSTN Black with PRIZM™ Polar Black Lenses ​ ​
Oakley Meta HSTN Brown Smoke with PRIZM™ Polar Deep Water Lenses ​ ​
Oakley Meta HSTN Black with Transitions Amethyst Lenses ​ ​
Oakley Meta HSTN Clear with Transitions Grey Lenses ​ ​
Oakley Meta HSTN Black with Clear Lenses
We’re kicking off with a Limited Edition Oakley Meta HSTN that honors 50 years of Oakley design, while charging into a new era of innovation, featuring gold accents and gold 24K PRIZM™ Polar lenses.

Product Availability ​

The Limited-Edition Oakley Meta HSTN will be available for preorder starting July 11, with the rest of the collection dropping later this summer. Oakley Meta HSTN will be available in the US, Canada, UK, Ireland, France, Italy, Spain, Austria, Belgium, Australia, Germany, Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. ​ We're also working to bring Oakley Meta HSTN to Mexico, India, and UAE later this year.

Get a first glimpse of Oakley Meta HSTN in a global campaign featuring elite athletes from Team Oakley and beyond—from Gabriel Medina checking out the surf before carving lines, to athlete J.R. Smith judging the wind on the golf course, Ishod Wair and Boo Johnson skating different spots and capturing it all, and Bicho Carrera operating on another altitude. The next evolution of AI glasses will also debut at marquee sporting events, starting with Fanatics Fest June 20 – 22, followed by UFC International Fight Week, June 25 – 27, with more to come this year. ​ ​

Good to have you here

Aside from the aesthetics, scratches in either the Iridium or the Plutonite won't affect UV protection. Depending on the age of the model, replacements may still be available, but other times, you might have to look into third party options.

Welcome. Glad you find the site useful

Finally saw the Ellipse in store. Then I saw the price... What were they thinking?

Welcome

No more complaints about them not making weird glasses.

Welcome. Good to have you here.

Welcome. Thanks for joining

I looked through my archive, but didn't find much. There was the Wet-Dry Pack, and some other AP packs, but I'll chalk it up to something created around the time as other oddities like the AP Leg Holster.
