Oakley is bringing back the OVERTHETOP, the unique, disruptive design that was unveiled on the world’s biggest sports stage twenty years ago. To celebrate the anniversary, Oakley will release the “Precious Mettle OVERTHETOP” on the day that would have marked the final competitive events of this year’s Summer Games.
Only 20 units of the Precious Mettle OVERTHETOP have been produced worldwide, and each will retail for $2,000 on Oakley.com at 12pm EST on Fri, Aug 7th.
The new iteration has been created from the original mold, featuring the same revolutionary, stemless design that fits over the top of the head rather than around it. With a gradient color treatment that fades from aged gold to silver and bronze, the eyewear is launched in recognition of the Games that didn’t happen and pays tribute to those who push through and overcome adversity during a time of uncertainty.
