Titanium-built Oakley Plantaris Ti reinvents its aquatic-inspired emblem, offering a lightweight design
Oakley Introduces the Plantaris Ti Frame: A Fusion of Organic and Cyberpunk Aesthetics
The sports eyewear giant, Oakley, has unveiled its latest creation - the Plantaris Ti frame. This innovative piece, set to be released exclusively on Oakley.com from July 31, 2025, promises to be a game-changer in the world of sunglasses, blending organic and cyberpunk aesthetics in an ultra-limited quantity.
The Plantaris Ti frame, considered Oakley's spiritual successor to their renowned X-Metal line, is made from aerospace-grade titanium, ensuring it's lightweight and durable. It features Oakley's Switchlock technology for easy lens swapping, Prizm lens technology for visual enhancement, and a removable nose cone that transforms the fit depending on the wearer's mood.
The frog leg-inspired wire temples, with clear silicone tips revealing glimpses of the frame's vein-like internal structure, add to the unique design. The Plantaris Ti frame's design is reminiscent of an amphibian-obsessed design language, originally from Oakley's Eye Jacket of the '90s, but with a futuristic twist.
The Plantaris Ti frame is not just a pair of sunglasses; it's a high-fashion statement piece, reflecting the current trend of tactical, speed-inspired design in fashion. Its design is compared to a spacecraft from the year 2075, embodying the spirit of innovation that Oakley is known for.
As Oakley continues to make waves in the fashion and technology industries, with partnerships with Travis Scott and Meta AI, as well as the development of a space suit visor for Axiom Space, the Plantaris Ti frame is a testament to their cultural moment.
While the exact price of the Plantaris Ti frame has not been disclosed, it is expected to be positioned at a premium compared to the current Plantaris lineup, given the titanium construction and premium positioning.
Stay tuned for more updates on the Plantaris Ti frame's pricing and wider retail availability.
