The green glasses for Rio - Oakley Green-Fade Edition

Nino Schurter will not only be competing in Rio with a specially designed bike. Eyewear supplier Oakley has produced a special edition for its Olympic athletes. In addition to Schurter, Jenny Rissveds, Julien Absalon, Marco Aurelio Fontana and Pauline Ferrand Prevot will also be wearing the "green glasses".

Oakley has dedicated itself to innovation and competitive sports and has now launched a special edition eyewear collection: Green Fade was designed for the participants in the Olympic Games in Rio. For this collection, Oakley brought back the vibrant green color that was used for the first sports eyewear in 1980. Green Fade is a sports eyewear edition and combines the classic Oakley green of the 1980s with 21st century Prizm technology. All frames in this collection are hand painted and will be available this summer in select Oakley stores and retail outlets. The Green Fade sunglasses collection is available with Oakley Prizm lenses that enhance contrast and detail for optimized performance. This technology offers high-precision color tuning specifically designed for different environments.

The Oakley Green Fade collection includes competitive sports eyewear such as EVZero, Jawbreaker, Radar EV Path, Flak 2.0 XL and RadarLock Path, as well as recreational eyewear such as Frogskins and Crosslink Zero RX.
