Oakley has released the first instalment of a two-part eyewear and apparel collaboration with Parisian running brand Satisfy.
According to Oakley, the two-part series features… ‘unique sunglasses and apparel that redefines running equipment. This isn’t just another hype drop, this is equipment for our world.’
A release from Oakley added… ‘The collaboration sees Oakley come together with Satisfy in its continued mission to inspire runners to chase their high: that feeling when a solo runner experiences another level of consciousness that allows for reflection and creativity.
‘With an essentialist approach to its design, Satisfy ensures that every piece has a purpose fit for a runner. That same approach translates into this collaboration, which blends Satisfy’s belief that technical running apparel deserves luxury-level craftsmanship with Oakley’s expertise in product design and innovation.’
“We both share a vision of altering perception and creative process”, said Brice Partouche, Satisfy’s Founder and Creative Director.
“We develop technical product through strong narratives that are based off the worlds that we have created. This collab was all about channelling the energy around Oakley’s heritage and adding our layer of running performance through lightweight, premium materials and technical construction.”
The first release from the collaboration will offer a unique perspective on Oakley Re:SubZero, reimagined with two colourways. Weighing only 24g, Oakley adds that.. ‘the sunglasses are so light that you might forget they’re even on while chasing that high.’
The Oakley x Satisfy Re:SubZero collection features a matte black frame colour complete with a Prizm Black lens for enhanced visibility.
The second release of the capsule, available on June 23rd, blends both brands’ visions from sunglasses to apparel. Resurfacing a piece of eyewear from the 90s, the Oakley x Satisfy Eye Jacket feature a matte transparent brown frame, while the multiple pairs of lenses include Prizm Tungsten, Black and Low Light.
Each piece of eyewear in the collection comes in a collectible clear box and is housed in a custom rolltop bag with a reflective accent.
As with all the eyewear featured in both collections, apparel is available in limited qualities. The Satisfy x Oakley collaboration introduces a range of high-performance apparel. The collection includes the PeaceShell Sun Hat for sun protection and quick-drying functionality, the MothTech T-Shirt with ventilation and moisture-wicking capabilities, and the Auralite Base Layer designed for comfort with underarm light panels.
Meanwhile, the Justice Cargo Half Tight offers durability, functionality, and breathability with cargo pockets, mesh venting, and a reinforced construction ideal for outdoor activities.
“Satisfy’s vision of the future inspires for us to see in running,” said Brian Takumi, VP Brand Soul at Oakley. “The creativity from the product and the communication are very aligned with the spirit of the past, present, and future of Oakley.”
