Oakley Xeus Sunglasses

With the Olympics underway, we expected to see tons of athletes wearing the all-new Oakley Kato and Kato X. But just when we thought we had it figured out, they came and surprised us with the Oakley Xeus sunglasses.Get more news about best women's sunglasses brand,you can vist sugenon.com!

The Oakley Xeus sunglasses first appeared on national television during the Tokyo Olympic track and field events. Specifically on the faces of sprinters Kevin Borlée and Andre de Grasses.

As we mentioned above, the speculation was that Oakley would use the Tokyo Olympics to massively push the new Kato sunglasses.

While the Kato has been prominently shown on dozens of Olympians’ faces, it’s the new Xeus Sunglasses that are stealing the show.

This isn’t the first time Oakley used the Olympic stage to debut a radical new design – at the 2000 Olympics sprinter, Ato Boldon debuted the wild Over The Top sunglasses. And the rest was history.

Just based on the name, clearly, these sunglasses are destined for greatness. The name Xeus is obviously a reference to the Greek God of lighting, so it’s no surprise you’ll find them on the faces of track and field sprinters.

Plus the gold frame and lenses are an obvious reference to the Gold medals given to the winners of each Olympic event.As we actually focus on the frame itself, the Oakley Xeus features a dual-lens design made of lightweight O Matter material. And since these sunglasses are designed for peak performance it’s no surprise to see large Unobtanium nosepads and earsocks for grip.

The design appears to be somewhat similar to the classic Oakley Zero sunglasses though definitely with an updated look.

But the two components that stand out for us the most are the upper brow bar that stretches the width of the sunglasses and the vented frame.From the initial pictures, it appears the Xeus features 24K Prizm lenses. We just saw Oakley launch the limited edition 24K Kato X so it makes sense they would use a similar lens on this frame.

But the really cool design and performance feature of these sunglasses is the vented frame around the lenses.

These lenses use the same PhysioMorphic Geometry Oakley used on the Kato. And looking closely you realize that it’s actually the frame and not the lenses that’s vented. It’s likely this feature exists to improve airflow and prevent fogging for elite athletes.
