Oakley today re-released its iconic Eye Jacket and Eye Jacket Redux, a design breakthrough from the 1990s and well beyond. A revolutionary eyewear finally back in the spotlight, a true nod to the 1990s and basketball subculture, and not least an opportunity for new players to follow in the footsteps of the sporting icons of the era who wore these styles off the court, such as the greatest player of all time, Michael Jordan.

Oakley have made a comeback thanks to the success of The Last Dance, and it's no coincidence that this new chapter in the collection is entitled One More Dance and features two more NBA basketball players: Damian Lillard and Kelly Oubre. But over the years many athletes have joined the Oakley name: from Lance b to Shaun White, from Rory McIlroy to Fernando Alonso, from Valentino Rossi to Mark Cavendish.

The release will be extremely limited: only 250 pairs of both Eye Jacket and Eye Jacket Redux will be available, the two models best representing Oakley's trademark bold statement of style and innovation. 

The redesign that came 20 years later completely revolutionized the model and its dual nature, creating eyewear that is both useful for sports and wearable in everyday life, in a frame that unites past, present and future. A revolutionary pair of glasses finally back in the limelight, a real reminder of the 1990s and the basketball subculture and an opportunity for new players to follow in the footsteps of the sporting icons of the time, who wore these styles off the court too, like the greatest basketball player ever.
