First introduced in 1909, the Giro d’Italia™ stands as the inaugural Grand Tour within the professional cycling calendar. To commemorate our affiliation with this iconic tour, during which riders relentlessly pursue the coveted Maglia Rosa over 21 days, we have crafted a distinctive pattern illustrating the challenging ascents encountered throughout this legendary Grand Tour.
With the best athletes in the world constantly seeking an edge, that sentiment helped inspire the creation of Encoder Strike. Building on learnings from Team Oakley® athletes, designers blended functional needs with heritage elements to create a frame that offers a premium solution for athletes seeking peak performance. The lens shape, enabled by PhysioMorphic™ Geometry and in a cut inspired by one of our heritage styles, Razor Blades, offers coverage and style. At the same time, the sunglasses’ ventilated design allows for optimal airflow. The frame is made of O Matter™ material to provide strength, comfort, and durability.Lastly, the Giro d’Italia™ Encoder Strike comes with a custom sublimated print microbag and box sleeve.
