Arguably one of the most famous and desirable<br />

sport-lifestyle eyewear brands (with a strong and<br />

popular off-road goggle model, the Airbrake) Oakley<br />

have an agreement with MotoGP and several<br />

of their athletes meaning special edition products<br />

around the likes of Valentino Rossi, Marc Marquez<br />

and the series itself.<br />

In 2018 Oakley unveiled eight limited edition<br />

models around eight of the rounds and circuits of<br />

the championship: Losail, COTA, Le Mans, Mugello,<br />

Catalunya, Assen, Phillip Island and Valencia<br />

(some of which – now sold out – are shown here)<br />

and it remains to be seen whether the same kind<br />

of initiative will be run this year. Rossi is one of<br />

Oakley’s ambassadors so has a signature edition<br />

based around the Latch design (173 dollars) but<br />

with matte black frame and a #46 bag. Marquez’<br />

– according to the official website – is based on a<br />

more robust Sliver (163 dollars). Maverick Viñales<br />

has a sporty ‘blueish’ Mainlink Sapphire Fade (180<br />

dollars).
