Luxottica Presents: The Last Dance with Oakley
Celebrate the allure of 1990s sportswear with The Last Dance – a docu-series co-produced by ESPN and Netflix revolving around the career of basketball legend, Michael Jordan, and how Chicago Bulls dominated the sporting arena that decade.
Beyond the ‘90s athlete-chic style of oversized blazers, neon-coloured tracksuits, chunky trainers, colourful snapbacks, glitzy diamond earrings, and gold necklaces, Oakley eyewear was a big love to the entire sports empire, including Scottie Pippen, Dennis Rodman, and Michael Jordan himself. These larger-than-life basketball figures were the pop culture of their time.

Revisiting the sporting archive in the ‘90s, Oakley is proud to launch the updated version of its the iconic Eye Jacket Redux – the model that dominated the performance eyewear game back then. A perfect match of modernity and nostalgia, Oakley Eye Jacket Redux features the same oval silhouette that first hit the scene in 1994, updated with revolutionary technology of today, including Oakley’s signature Prizm Lens Technology.
Oakley Eye Jacket Redux comes with Prizm lenses designed to enhance colour, contrast, and detail, and is also available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses for athletes with RX needs. The lightweight eyewear wraps the face nicely with the trademarked O Matter frame material and Unobtainium nose pads and temples that increase grip with perspiration to keep the eyewear securely in place amidst all sporting activities. All housed in the oval silhouette that revolutionised sports performance style in the ‘90s. Available in six colourways.
Take notes from the golden era of sports with the decade’s overtly experimental approach to styling, fits, and an unapologetic attitude towards boldness. Indeed, there is a surge in athleisure/sportswear as everyday wear. However, with so much going on now with constant drops and new releases, it is increasingly harder to deem a style as ‘iconic’ as what we saw then.
