We’re all obsessed with that perfect moment. The victory. The podium. The slow-motion replay where the athlete makes the jump, the crowd screams, and for a few moments, they’re immortal. That’s usually where the story starts and ends. But if you’ve ever watched an athlete walk up to the starting line and thought, damn, I can feel their energy through the screen, you know the truth: real magic doesn’t live in the spotlight. It lives somewhere colder, quieter, and more real.
Oakley’s new Aura Collection taps into exactly this determined, unwavering mindset. Launching right on time during the peak of winter sports season, the collection is drenched in a dynamic dual colorshift fade that moves between purple, green, red, and gold. It’s inspired by the constant force athletes carry on and off the field. The kind that continues after the competition ends.
Oakley reworks its classic silhouettes, starting with the Flow Scape goggle, which holds the brand’s largest field of view ever (missing the details isn’t really an option when you’re flying downhill at questionable speeds). The Stunt Wing and CYBR Zero eyewear bring the same energy, but if you want to keep it more lowkey, the Permian model proves you can still convey your competitive energy even when you’re nowhere near a mountain.
And because progress still needs safety, the same colorshift treatment lands on the MOD1 helmet to keep you protected while you focus on perfecting your performance. Gloves, socks, a hat, and a neck gaiter round out the collection, keeping you extra warm while matching the chromatic vibe. Every piece of the collection is finished with an iridescent Oakley logo and detailing that refracts light for increased visibility. Practical, yes, but also symbolic. It’s about being seen without screaming for attention. About letting the work speak first.
Oakley’s Aura Collection exists for the moments that lead up to the glory and shape everything that follows. It’s for athletes, creators, and anyone obsessed with progress over praise.
The Aura Collection is available now at select Oakley stores and partners worldwide, and on Oakley.com.
