Summary
- Oakley rereleases its archival Plantaris sunglasses with titanium construction and updated features
- New design includes adjustable temples, removable nose cone, and transparent elements showing internal structure
- Plantaris Ti launches July 31 on Oakley's official website
Oakley has brought back its Plantaris sunglasses from the company archives. The new version, called Plantaris Ti, combines the original design with modern materials and features.
The updated frames use titanium construction for reduced weight. Adjustable temples allow users to customize the fit. A removable nose cone adds versatility to the design.
The temple design reveals internal structural elements through transparent sections. This approach shows the frame's construction rather than hiding it. Clear silicone tips finish the temple ends.
Oakley equipped the sunglasses with Prizm lens technology. This system enhances color and contrast for different activities and environments.
The design draws from biological forms, specifically referencing the structure of amphibian limbs in the temple construction. This organic inspiration shapes the frame's distinctive appearance.
The Plantaris Ti represents Oakley's approach to updating classic designs with current technology. The brand maintains the original aesthetic while incorporating new materials and features.
Production uses lightweight titanium throughout the frame construction. This material choice reduces overall weight while maintaining structural integrity.
The adjustable temple system lets wearers modify the fit for different head sizes and preferences. The removable nose cone provides additional customization options.
Oakley will release the Plantaris Ti on July 31 through its official website. The company has not announced pricing or availability details for retail stores.
