Hot on the heels of the bioorganic-inspired ‘Born to Rewild’ range, Oakley has just unleashed ‘Flex Scape’: the performance eyewear titan’s inaugural hybrid frame, employing design cues from the world of both sunglasses and alpine goggles.
In typical Oakley form, the Flex Scape comes armed to the teeth with an array of patented technologies that make it mission-ready for days on the Mont or speed-running your favourite city jog.
Of these, the primary one worth writing home about is what Oakley’s mad scientists refer to as “PhysioMorphic™ Geometry.” Driven by the brand’s desire to “ideate without shape limitations,” this innovation allows the Flex Scape’s lenses to adapt themselves to each individual wearer’s face — enhancing comfort while widening one’s field of vision.

In line with this unparalleled emphasis on individual fit, the Flex Scape is also constructed with an interchangeable fixture system: meaning once you’ve descended from your diamond run, the one-size-fits-all strap can be switched out for sunglass-style stems.
Meanwhile, besides their unique PhysioMorphic properties, each pair of Flex Scape lenses is built with Oakley’s signature Prizm™ technology. Optimised for colour, contrast, and detail, it’s not at all surprising that Prizm seems to have become, famously, the province of top-level athletes.
In the Flex Scape, these lenses are available in a bluish-gray ‘Snow Sapphire’ tint or the signature Oakley ’24K’ yellow. Head to Oakley’s Australian e-store to secure your pair.
