Paris-based clothing brand Satisfy Running is partnering with sunglasses-maker Oakley to launch a two-part series featuring unique sunglasses and running apparel.
With what they call an “essentialist approach” to design, Satisfy says it strives to ensure that every piece has a purpose fit for a runner. That same approach translates into this collaboration, which blends Satisfy’s belief that technical running apparel deserves luxury-level craftsmanship with Oakley’s expertise in product design and innovation.
The first release from the collaboration, which was announced Tuesday and will be available Thursday, will offer a unique perspective on the 24-gram Oakley Re:SubZero, reimagined with two colorways.
Inspired by dawn’s first light setting the path forward, the matte dusty rose frame color evokes the warm sun reflecting on smooth sand waves, with the Prizm Dark Golf lens providing contrast and detail in unexpected places. The Oakley x Satisfy Re:SubZero collection also features a matte black frame color intent to move you through the nonsense with grace, complete with a Prizm Black lens for enhanced visibility.
The second breath of the capsule, available June 23, blends both brands’ unexpected route to create a unique apparel capsule to compliment one of Oakley’s most iconic frames.
Resurfacing a quintessential piece of eyewear from the ’90s, the Oakley x Satisfy Eye Jacket sunglasses seek “to ignite runners’ disruptive nature, setting no limits to your run,” they said in a awkwardly worded news release that appeared to have been written by an AI program. The Eye Jacket matte transparent brown frame blends in with nature’s color palette while the multiple pairs of lenses including Prizm Tungsten, Black and Low Light elevate this high-wrap sport performance frame to a highly versatile optical tool.
Each piece of eyewear in the collection comes in a collectible clear box and is housed in a custom rolltop bag.
The Satisfy x Oakley collaboration introduces a range of high-performance apparel featuring innovative technologies. The collection includes the PeaceShell Sun Hat for sun protection and quick-drying functionality, the MothTech T-Shirt with ventilation and moisture-wicking capabilities, and the Auralite Base Layer designed for comfort with underarm light panels. The Justice Cargo Half Tight offers durability, functionality, and breathability with cargo pockets, mesh venting, and a reinforced construction ideal for outdoor activities.
“Satisfy’s vision of the future inspires for us to see in running,” said Brian Takumi, VP Brand Soul at Oakley. “The creativity from the product and the communication are very aligned with the spirit of the past, present, and future of Oakley.”
