The purr of cylinders becomes an angry growl and sweat steams body armor as he leans 325 pounds of aluminum and attitude low enough to scrape a slider and taunt the limits of physics and sanity. He’s Nicky Hayden, The Kentucky Kid who became the MotoGP World Champion in 2006. We’re saluting him with a special edition of Oakley OIL RIG sunglasses, an aggressive style worthy of a racer whose world rips by at more than 200 mph.
Made for collectors and speed fanatics, this unique edition features Nicky’s traditional racing number on its custom icon graphics, and we added his “69” to the inner surface of the right stem. The Polished Black frame is matched with BLACK IRIDIUM® lenses to fuel clarity in bright light while reducing glare. Nicky’s signature is laser etched at the corner of the lens, and a custom printed MICROCLEAR™ bag is included for lens cleaning and frame storage.
This performance eyewear puts technology on the fast track with POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry that creates a single continuous contour of PLUTONITE® lens material. HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) opens the throttle on peripheral vision with startling clarity. The comfortably lightweight frame of durable O MATTER® includes sculpturally integrated hinges with dual cam action. The velocity of innovation blurs the line between science and art, and it salutes one of the hardest working racers on the circuit.
Black Iridium Lens:Extremely bright light. Excellent all-purpose lens for sunny conditions. Offers truer color perception. Features an Iridium® coating to reduce glare.
