Oakley's "Born to Rewild" is Here to Shake Things Up
In case you missed it, Oakley’s been on a roll recently. With a reputation for blending advanced technology with high-quality design, the brand has been ticking all the boxes for those who expect both cutting-edge performance and otherworldly style. Known for pushing boundaries and embracing experimentation, Oakey’s next drop, its “Born to Rewild” collection, takes the brand’s futuristic vision to the next level: a place where modern technology meets organic, nature-like forms. Leading the pack are two key pieces: the Plantaris eyewear and the Latitude Flex Vest—two unapologetically bold pieces that are as much about self-expression as they are about pro-engineered tech. Let’s get stuck in.
The Plantaris model reimagines early '90s and 2000s aesthetics (remember those ultra-sporty wrap-around sunnies that were loved by athletes and party kids alike?) but of course, Oakley brings them into the present day with a futuristic twist. We’re talking full-on biomimicry here, with silicone wire core temple tips clinging to your face like a frog’s legs, giving off that lightweight but secure feeling. The Matte Trans Fern and Matte Dark Brush finish serve up a perfect balance of earthy visuals, and its ergonomic design means you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style. And the detachable nose guard? That’s your go-to gimmick for when you’re feeling a little extra and want to switch things up because versatility is the name of the game when you’re navigating different environments or identities…right?
On the flip side, the Latitude Flex Vest feels like a full-on desert rave uniform. Oakley has packed this piece with enough features to make even the most seasoned explorer blush. Tailored for movement and adaptability, this vest is a game-changer in outdoor fashion. With a multi-pocket system (hello 3D volume vessel for your Plantaris) and power mesh pockets for your other essentials, the Latitude vest is like the Swiss Army knife of outerwear. Oh, and the magnetic fidlock buckle, well that’s just a flex in itself.
Together, Plantaris and Latitude are for the ones who dare to tap into their wild side while making a little statement with their style. So whether you’re channeling your inner Mother Nature or just navigating urban life, these pieces are your way to nod to the future of design and look slick while doing so.
