When I think of Oakley I get a kind of nostalgia. It is weird, but I always associate Oakley with a sense of longevity and a certain loyalty to South African consumers. It has always been a big brand in SA and I am sure you will agree that it has always been top of mind amongst within sunglasses category.
Let me guess, these are the Kruger Park limited Zebra edition?
I am personally not a fan of Oakley glasses, maybe it’s the style, maybe the design I don’t know. They just seem like they are meant to be made for cricket players, professional anglers and tri-athletes? Maybe I am just weird, but hey who isn’t these days! If you want to know why I feel like this about Oakley, maybe Marcus Lindstrom and his book Buyology book can help you there!
Oakley are proud sponsors of the German Volleyball Girls 😉
I think Oakley have shot themselves in the foot with this sif new range of Oakley Antix. They have clearly tried to attract and target a rock spider market, or rugby fans, whichever way you want to look at it. I have looked at a few brand reviews and the product itself is apparently second to none. One old cat even said; “In an effort to remain hip as my age advances I like to wear Oakley sunglasses, the fashion forward shades for outdoors people.” The truth is they will probably sell a shit load of these awful things. But one thing is for sure, you definitely won’t be seeing me in my Stormers or Cheetahs Oakley’s anytime soon!

I have no idea what you guys think, but seriously think about leopard print, orange frame Chettah Sun Glasses. I rest my case!
