Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses – Shade Station
We all know that Oakley is famous for its sponsorship of world class athletes which also helps the brand establish what the sports industry requires from its products. We can now share that one of these athletes has used his style creativity to help design a unique pair of Oakley sunglasses!
Gold medal winner Shaun White is what can be described as a bit of a rocker in the world of snowboarding and has been a core athlete within the Oakley brand for over ten years – also known for his love of street fashion. Transcending his skills on the slopes to the design board, Oakley has teamed up with Shaun and the result is a new pair of incredibly cool Oakley sunglasses called Holbrook.
Oakley Holbrook Sunglasses Designed By Shuan White
In designing the new Holbrook sunglasses, Shaun (pictured) took inspiration from his passion for iconic male film legends of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s and wanted to capture the essence of American cool and how everyday men rebelled against conformity and inspired the younger generation. The Holbrook sunglasses are his visualisation of that theme and are named after a small town on Route 66 which is notorious of being a town where both grit and glory take place on the wide open road.
In terms of style, the Oakley Holbrook sunglasses boast the classic retro look that Shaun wanted to achieve, with thick frames, arms which begin from the top of the frame and large, defined lenses. In true Oakley style, the sunglasses perfectly combine that vintage appeal with contemporary and innovative technologies!
The Holbrook sunglasses feature a stress-resistant frame made of the signature Oakley lightweight synthetic O Matter and are aesthetically emphasised with metal bolts at the top corners of the frames to add to the ‘gritty’ style. The lenses incorporate the unique Oakley High Definition Optics (HDO) with pure Plutonite lenses that filter out 100% of all UV light (not just UVA and UVB). All of these advanced technologies ensure optical precision, impact resistance and maximum eye protection.
In a range of different colours (frames and lenses) to choose from, the new Oakley Holbrook sunglasses look incredibly stylish, successfully portraying the theme that Shaun wanted to capture and are a completely unique model within the Oakley sunglasses collection. The product of an amazing Oakley/Athlete collaboration!

Oakley is the big winner at the Winter Olympics
If you’ve been following this year’s Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, it won’t have escaped your attention that many Olympic competitors have taken visual precautions against the sun, snow and ice. Be it wraparound sunglasses or goggles, serious winter sports athletes acknowledge the dangers of competing without eye protection and will go to great lengths to ensure they are protected from any harm.
Olympic disciplines such as speed skating, cross-country skiing and snowboarding require athletes to travel at enormous speeds, during which they are very vulnerable to the elements and accidents. Wearing sunglasses or goggles designed for sport by a reputable brand like Oakley, reduces their chances of any eye injuries and can also enhance their performance.
Oakley Goggles is a brand that is seen a lot on the slopes and also at Vancouver 2010. Oakley have a history of eyewear innovation for sports and their research, technology and design prowess is second to none. Professional athletes recognise the quality and the power of the Oakley brand and for this reason they entrust the protection of their eyes to them.
For snowboarders goggles are an essential piece of kit and Oakley goggles provide comfort, clarity of vision, anti-fog lenses and are designed to fit snugly when worn with a helmet. Wearing Oakley goggles can prevent arctic burn and will protect your vision from the brilliance of the snow.
Some people prefer Oakley Sunglasses for winter sports and speed skaters in particular, always wear a pair of wraparound sunglasses when competing. There are a number of Oakley styles that cater specifically for sportsmen and when choosing your Oakley’s your decision will be informed by what you require from your sunglasses. For instance you may need transition lenses, the ability to change lenses, a larger frame, or a particularly light frame. Whatever your requirements Oakley will have it covered.
Rather than follow the countries medal tallies this Olympics why not count how many athletes wearing Oakley’s mount the podium. We bet Oakley is the overall winner at Vancouver 2010!
