Many are familiar with the brand named Oakley when it comes to sunglasses in the united states but what many dont realize is that Oakley Japan offers a completely different line up in the asian market. Oakley Japan also offers some limited edition products as well like co branded versions with famous Japanese baseball sensation Ichiro and also new Movie release versions like the model featured in the new action film G.I Joe.
Overall the apparel is more expensive than U.S version clothing and when you look closely its due to the material blends and most simply Japan’s desire for high quality clothing at a higher price point. Now days you can find all the major golf OEMs featuring expanded product lists of ultra expensive, super well made apparel.
Eyewear
For the most part the basic and overall shape of the sunglasses are the same as what we have here in the states but thats about where simularities end as many of the Japan offerings have added features, a bigger variety of materials used, as well some flat out more attractive models. The techn0logy is all the same with Oakley’s HDO ( high definition optics ) and the one of the lightest and best form fitting frame of any eye protection brand on the market today. Oakley also offers a custom eyewear option allowing the player to decide on the lens, frame, color scheme, and even its material be it carbon, aluminum and others.
Golf Apparel & Skull Collection
The Skull Series offers a complete line up of products everything from golf gloves to windbreakers and even footwear. The Skull series is supposed to be the cooler more edgy line within the oakley brand. The perfect collection if you want to stand out on the golf course and not look like a bright splash of paint. The standard apparel line up also offers just about everything when it comes to apparel except in a more vibrant color scheme and more expected of the asian golfer to wear while playing.
