As an icon built on innovation, brand identity, and a focus on material science, Oakley achieved the greatest heights in sports eyewear, becoming ubiquitous across cycling, running, baseball, skiing- on and on. To maintain an edge, seek new horizons, and find new paths forward, Oakley has turned to friends of the brand for new approaches and thought processes. Enter Sentio, a collaborative project to combine the following visions: Heritage, Authenticity, Unexpected, DIY, and Sustainability. The framed, full shield BXTR is inspired by the learnings from Oakley's immersion with legends, skater Eric Koston and skater/photographer Atiba Jefferson, elevating the findings and priorities from the Sentio project to develop real world products reflecting the desired visions.

BXTR is a true shield sport-glass that is just as at home in the park, on the bike, at the cafe, or anything you want to do. The 4x2 Toroidal shield offers a wide, high bridge fit for medium to large faces, with excellent coverage and premium Oakley optics. The high bridge favors those with lower cheekbones, but the overall shape does work well for many people. The shield design moves into a frame with a modernized trigger stem inspired by Oakley’s original Razor Blade sunglasses, mixed with style to elevate individuality. The plant-based BiO-Matter® frame material provides lightweight comfort and durability. Much of the frame itself is made from bio-materials having at least 56% bio-based carbon content. This percentage indicates how much of the material mixture is obtained from castor oil sources versus petrochemical or fossil sources, fulfilling the goal of improved sustainability.

Oakley lenses are impact protection designed and tested under extreme high mass and high velocity circumstances to ensure uncompromising protection across a wide range of demanding conditions. With the BXTR Oakley is offering several stylish frame designs with colors well suited to individuality, and the performance of the lenses comes with distinct Prizm™ lens colors. All have been developed with technology designed to enhance color and contrast to see more detail, making visual recognition of the terrain and views ahead much quicker and defined. Prizm lenses are built off a base color, and optimized for various light conditions, with Visible Light Transmission graded. Increased contrast range within the base color is a primary feature of all Prizm lenses.
