What sunglasses are these? Deceunink is sponsored by Oakley but can't say these look familiar? 🤔

They almost look like EV Paths with a weird lens that is shaped over the nose.

From what I can google I don't think Oakley publicly released them yet ... : (

I kind of like them. Certainly looks rad but we might get used to it. Nose cover might be handy as it could lower chance of sunburn. I have very ofthen red nose after longer rides unless I apply sun cream with 30+ rating. From sideviews the nose cover is not that distinctive, only from front view. Anyway will think about them with Prizm Road lenses.

You might end up with a weird nose tan line with those glasses...

Seems like the Kato will look good / fit for those with nose of the right shape and size.

There is the Kato X without the nose section for those without the requisite nose shape.

I was indeed thinking how it could fit a "tall nose" like mine.
Or is there an adaptor inside for a sort of custom fit?

I have no idea if it's even possible, but it just struck me that it would be really cool if the lens was heat-mouldable, then you could fit it to your own partifular nose shape.

Personally, just like the new gen of oversized ski goggles, they look hideous AF to me!

Just like Starbucks is responsible for single handedly destroying a good thing that was awesome for decades (good coffee properly made), Oakley is solely responsible
For making ugly AF non functional crap the main staple of the masses!

Lol aero, the ones without the nose bump look a lot better
