Just in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics, Oakley launched a special edition Green Fade eyewear collection last Friday. This collection combines today’s technology (Prizm lenses) with a style and color throwback to the 1980s – all lenses are fine tuned for different sport environments. Available in aggressive racing frames such as the Jawbreaker as well as the casual classic Frogskins, look for Olympians across a multitude of disciplines to be sporting these shades as they pursue gold medal dreams come August.

From the Italian company founded in 1960, Sidi brings us the new Double Tecno-3 Push closure system. Double dials sit perched in the center of Sidi’s new shoe directly in the middle of the tongue.
