Get Lifted
L-R-G and Oakley have collaborated on a limited edition A-Frame Goggle that will release in two colorways. The limited edition purple L-R-G Oakley Goggle features L-R-G Interlocking Trees all-over printed on the frame and the L-R-G logo is laser-engraved on the lower corner of the Black Iridium lens. As well, the black limited edition L-R-G Oakley goggle gets a mirror-polished black frame finish combined with a special Gold Iridium lens, featuring an etched L-R-G landscape detail across the entire lower edge of the lens. This model will also include an additional replacement lens with the smaller L-R-G logo laser-engraved in lower corner. Both L-R-G designed editions are coordinated with matching straps bearing L-R-G x Oakley logos on opposite sides.

Totally Orange
With Nike ACG’s 20th anniversary in full-swing, we’ve been seeing a lot of retro footwear being re-released over the year. Let’s not forget some of the new models that they are releasing as well, soon to be future classics like the Zoom Ashiko Flywire Boot, shown here in a Total Orange colorway. The boot utilizes Nike’s new flywire technology for support on those long hikes back to you car in the parking lot. Available from Nike retailers for MSRP $180.

Collaborations and Special Editions
A follow-up to the first part of our History of Oakley Frogskins series, this time the focus is on how these iconic sunglasses came back into fashion and the special collaborations that have been created along the way.

 

Stay Dry
Something to consider during those cold and wet intermittent months before the snow officially drops. adidas Originals is bringing back the Torsion SP Mid, a comfortable mid-ankle hiking boot based on the ZX runner platform that is outfitted to withstand the elements. Water-proof Gore-Tex material and adidas Torsion technology are matched with an outdoors-style colorway that’s a sure bet for the Fall. Available at adidas Originals retailers.
