Oakley is known for its iconic designs, which often feature bold, futuristic shapes and materials and the Oakley “O” logo is instantly recognizable. Over the years, Oakley has expanded its product line to include sports apparel, footwear, and accessories, in addition to producing clothing, backpacks, gloves, and other items geared toward athletes and outdoor enthusiasts.
Most recently, Oakley has added NFL Prizm Shields to their list of instantly recognizable innovations. Oakley further committed to Move The Game Forward with next level product innovation for athletes and fans by extending their official on-field partnership with the NFL earlier this Fall.
Two of Oakley’s latest offerings include the Oakley BXTR and Oakley Resistor. The BXTR is 0inspired by the learnings from the brand’s immersion with Team Oakley athletes and features a heritage driven shield mixed with modern design, elevating individuality. The latest colorway of this style is from Patrick Mahomes II Signature Series with the brand and features Bronze-Base
Prizm Tungsten Iridium Lenses, nodding to Mahomes’ team and accomplishments. The Resistor is a youth style made for active kids on the go, with the latest colorway inspired by the influence of the star quarterback, both on and off the field.
Both styles are equipped with Prizm Lens Technology, allowing players to see more detail and contrast in their environment. “Eyewear is one of the most popular and necessary accessories for flag football players. Since players don’t wear helmets and thus, are unable to wear visors, sport eyewear is a huge factor to help keep up the eye health of not only youth athletes but high school, collegiate and adult athletes as well” said Co-Founder & President of USA Flag Charles Davis. This new partnership between Oakley and USA Flag is dedicated to providing flag football athletes best in class product to optimize vision and performance and empower youth athletes to Move the Game Forward.
