World famous boxer Muhammad Ali is pictured wearing a pair of custom made Oakley Oil Rig sunglasses outside of Ricky Hatton's gym in Greater Manchester during what he says is his last ever trip to Great Britain.
Taken from the men's lifestyle collection, Oakley Oil Rig may not be of use inside the boxing ring but it does make all the difference when it comes to your sporting performance outdoors. This latest edition from Oakley Inc features a redesigned stem comprised of crosshairs and dimensional grooves, making it quick and easy to identify. This wrap around style, complete with Oakley icons, has been designed using unique geometries for a precise lens curvature that sweeps around the face and eyes without sticking out at the sides, a common problem found amongst ordinary, non-Oakley sunglasses. Integrated hinges have been engineered with dual cam action, and the linear ear stems provide a comfortably secure grip, even without the use of Unobtainium sleeves. The O Matter frame material is lightweight, durable and impact resistant, and like the boxing world heavyweight champion can withstand high speed impact. Oakley Oil Rig's Plutonite lenses absorb 100 percent of ultraviolet light (UV) and harmful blue light up to 400nm. Oakley lens technology ensures that your eyes only ever experience maximised visual clarity so you can always see what's coming, at any angle, enabling you to float like a butterfly and sting like a bee.
Our custom Oakley scheme allows Sunglasses Shop customers to exhibit their own personal style by enabling them to hand-pick their own colour preferences and finishes. Whether you're looking to synthesise high specification frames and lenses for world class protection and performance, or simply to bring your colour visionary to life in order to create a one of a kind accessory, it's entirely in your hands.
