I’ve only got 2 pair so not expecting anything but THIS is the kind of customer appreciation I love to see! There’s little to nothing like that being done this day and age so I applaud Jim and Jamin! - mlmguitar50

Yep, I agree. Especially since it was a "surprise." They didn't broadcast it - so they weren't using it as an incentive to get people to buy. Which I respect. It seems like they are really trying to show appreciation. Then again, I'm sure they know that this will get out and for some of the people that hear about this it will be an incentive. So it could be a conscious passive aggressive move. But I don't think so. I think they really wanted to do this to express their gratitude and because it's just flat out cool.

Get f’d Dan! Lol

I feel like I’m not a big spender either for them. Not sure what you have to get to reach one tier to the next… - JP

HA HA!

I'm in NO way asking you to say how much you spent - but I guess in a sense I am when I ask... any idea what the tier level amounts are? Please feel free to tell me to get lost.

That's awesome!!!

LOL … getting old is not even knowing how you started your own Welcome thread ? ! ? - oogie

Ha Ha Ha!!!!!

Interesting...

Matthew M. Williams joins Oakley as Creative Director of Apparel, Footwear and Accessories (AFA). In close alignment with Travis Scott, Oakley’s Chief Visionary Officer, Oakley appoints Williams to elevate the clothing, accessories, and footwear in sports and lifestyle.

For over 50 years, Oakley has designed with purpose, wrapping science in art to create products built to perform. Now, that legacy will continue with recoded design language.

Williams will lead Oakley AFA into its next chapter, defining a new vision for the brand’s future that draws from Oakley’s DNA. Matthew honed a unique sensibility that bridges core values with innovation, whereas his distinct design language has a strong emphasis on form, materials, and quality. Under his direction, Oakley AFA will present both performance-driven and lifestyle collections, prioritizing product innovation across all categories.

Do we know if these are a legit sports frame, or more of a sporty lifestyle frame? I don't know if I'll like them on my face, but they look like something Old Oakley could have designed. - B3

The description on oakley.com says...

"Built to disrupt, not to blend in. High-wrap, spiked, and unapologetically bold, this is SPORT through a new lens. Own the crossover where function meets fearless self-expression."

So maybe it is a sport frame and not sport-lifestyle? Then again it says "crossover" - so maybe not?

Suture Jacket

Welcome to the OR!

Welcome!

The previously released 2026 Spring/Summer Reserve Collection is - as expected - still pricey but less expensive than the newly released 2026 Spring/Summer Latitude Collection that dropped yesterday. If you care - Ha Ha - you can take a look. Links below. But the prices are CRAZY, again, as expected. The one item I was really looking forward too is ridonkulously expensive. The Latitude Veil Slingpack Jacket = $700 I almost feel a bit ridonkulous myself for even thinking it would be just expensive. To me it's beyond expensive.

So O's quest to be a high-end luxury brand like D&G, Gucci, Prada, Fendi, Versace is still in full swing. UGH.

That’s quite the haul! Congrats!

Welcome!

Alright here are some comparisons for the Megawatt with a Sutro and EV Zero I Flight Jacket which it I think would compare well with the Megawatt.









- Dullisc

Yeah, thanks for the comparisons you do Dull! Cool to see the frames "side by side" and their info.

A bunch of press releases for some of the new stuff that recently dropped - if anyone is interested...

https://oakley-media-hub.prezly.com/

Yeah, great price point. I like the Matte Smoke-less / Black / Blaze Plasmachromatic.
