Kevin Borlée’s Oakley Xeus sunglasses
We must take our hat off to Oakley as the master of sunglasses, asserting himself as the absolute protagonist of the Olympics. First up, we have Belgian sprinter Kevin Borlée wearing his new pair of Oakley Xeus sunglasses while running the 400m.
… that André De Grasse also wore
The same specs were also seen on Canadian sprinter Andre De Grasse, who qualified for the semi-finals of the Tokyo Olympics on Tuesday.
Oakley Katos by Mutaz Essa Barshim
And while we’re still talking about Oakley, we can’t get past what could be the most stylish sport in the Olympics – high jump.
So far, the sartorial star of the event is expected to be the pair of Oakley Kato sunglasses that Barshim wore throughout the nightly competition. These weren’t exactly functional (it was, of course, dark), and shadows flew from his face pretty much every time he crossed the bar, but when the sci-fi objectives reflected the stripes of his Qatari Olympic uniform, it was all worth it.
“It’s okay,†he said after snapping off the pair he wore moments after their post-gold hug. “I have about 50 pairs.”
… and the essentials of Raven Saunders
The demonstration on the podium of American shot putter Raven Saunders (where the medalists posed for photos, she raised her arms and crossed them in an X shape to represent “the intersection of where all the oppressed meet “) was a defining moment in his Olympic journey.
But it was also the style and flair of the Olympian in the stadium, winning gold for the coolest specs to date – these technicolor shield sunglasses (which we don’t know the brand of, but give us major vibrations of Pit Viper).
“One of my things is that everyone during the shot put, and I don’t know why, people are always smiling and talking. It’s not really me,†Saunders said of his look. , according to the Washington Post. “It’s my way of being friendly, I guess?” “

While Ray Bassil’s Delarios dominate
On the shooting arena, the Italian DE.LA.RO sunglasses dominate, worn by the Lebanese athlete Ray Bassil, and recognizable by the enormous branding that stands out on the sides. While these are made especially for filming, I wouldn’t be surprised if they popped up on the streets during post-covid fashion week.
