Eyewear specialist Oakley has today launched two running specific sunglasses – Corridor & Actuator – which it says are… ‘built, from the ground up, specifically for runners.’
“For decades, Oakley has been designing the best performance eyewear on planet Earth, but never in our history have we created something special with runners and for runners. And for that, runners of this world, we apologize,” said Caio Amato, Oakley Global Head of Marketing. Big Frame Glasses
“We spent countless hours discussing with runners and then we built on almost half a century of innovation to develop new sunglasses that – we hope – soon all runners will call their new running essentials. It was incredibly fun outsmarting the sun together with that community.”
Oakley’s Corridor sunglasses take a performance approach, similar to the brand’s cycling-specific eyewear. Corridor has an RRP of £142.
Meanwhile, with an RRP of £134, Oakley Actuator features a universal round shape with larger sized lenses for optimal coverage. This has more of a lifestyle-oriented design and is developed with the casual runner in mind.
