NIKE HITS THE LINKS WITH GOLFER PAUL CASEY & NIKE GOLF X2/NIKE GOLF X2 PRO

Nike Vision announces the addition of the Golf X2 and Golf X2 Pro to its performance line from Marchon. Designed for golfers and utilizing real-time insight gained from professionals including Paul Casey, a player on the PGA and European tours and a Nike Golf athlete, both the Golf X2 and X2 Pro feature a matte finish on the frames to eliminate reflective glare. The Golf X2 features a slimmer temple design and top bar to better fit under a hat. The style also includes silicone adjustable temples and a ventilated silicone bridge. The Golf X2 Pro features a lens cut that is ideal for wearers with higher cheek bones.

Notes Carl Allen, senior designer at Marchon: “Both the Golf X2 and X2 Pro feature a lightweight design for both comfort and fit. They also have a newly expanded frame and lens shape that provides increased coverage.”

CREATING FAST RIDES
OAKLEY RACES FORWARD WITH JAWBREAKER & CYCLIST MARK CAVENDISH

The idea of Jawbreaker was inspired by professional cyclist Mark Cavendish. Whether it’s measuring his own wattage output, pinpointing his drag co-efficiency in a state-of-the-art wind tunnel, or adjusting his seat position by a fraction of a millimeter, he leaves nothing to chance in his preparation. For eyewear, his challenge was to design “armor for speed.” And after more than 100 design iterations, 9,600 hours of lab and field testing, 27 eyewear components, and two years in the making, Jawbreaker is born.

Jawbreaker has an extended field of view at the top and bottom of the lens for an unprecedented line of sight. Switchlock technology allows easy swapping of lenses, and the frame is effectively ventilated.

“I shared my ideas and Oakley listened. We both obsess over the little things, which make a difference. Jawbreaker looks fast. Its extended protection and advanced ventilation system is revolutionary. It’s more than just eyewear.”

— MARK CAVENDISH, CYCLIST
