From The Alps To The Street, Oakleyโ€™s โ€˜Flex Scapeโ€™ Is For Speed Freaks

Hot on the heels of the bioorganic-inspired โ€˜Born to Rewildโ€™ range, Oakley has just unleashed โ€˜Flex Scapeโ€™: the performance eyewear titanโ€™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 Oakleyโ€™s mad scientists refer to as โ€œPhysioMorphicโ„ข Geometry.โ€ Driven by the brandโ€™s desire to โ€œideate without shape limitations,โ€ this innovation allows the Flex Scapeโ€™s lenses to adapt themselves to each individual wearerโ€™s face โ€” enhancing comfort while widening oneโ€™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 youโ€™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 Oakleyโ€™s signature Prizmโ„ข technology. Optimised for colour, contrast, and detail, itโ€™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 โ€˜Snow Sapphireโ€™ tint or the signature Oakley โ€™24Kโ€™ yellow. Head to Oakleyโ€™s Australian e-store to secure your pair.
