Titanium Tailend Innovation Returns for Oakley & Haven's 10th Anniversary Celebration
The iconic Tailend eyewear by Oakley is making a comeback, ten years after its original release, as a limited edition titanium model - the Tailend Ti. This reissue celebrates a decade since its first launch and showcases Oakley's commitment to innovation by revisiting a classic design and enhancing it with premium titanium.
A Timeless Design with Modern Advancements
The Tailend Ti utilises Oakley's signature coil stems and spring hinge system, offering a sleek, modern aesthetic alongside lightweight durability and enhanced premium quality. The titanium frame construction addresses the weight issue of the 2015 model, offering improved comfort and sturdiness.
Embracing Oakley's Sculptural Design Principles
Unlike the X-Metal series, the Tailend Ti makes Oakley's sculptural design principles practical for daily wear. Its design is a distillation of Oakley's most ambitious designs, inspired by the rimless Zero series, the perfectly round Mars/Moon line, and the avant-garde Madman. The Tailend Ti features a signature pig's tail coil stem and a hidden half-orbital frame behind the lens, ensuring both functionality and style.
Blending Technical Innovation and Cultural Relevance
Haven, a retailer known for championing products that blend technical innovation and cultural relevance, will exclusively launch the Tailend Ti on August 8. The collaboration between Oakley and Vancouver's Haven marks a welcomed return and proof that the design is still ahead of its time.
Enhanced Vision with Prizm Ruby Lenses
The Tailend Ti features the same Prizm Ruby lenses as the Plantaris Ti released last month. These lenses provide enhanced contrast and clarity, making them ideal for various outdoor activities.
A Limited Edition Collectible
The Tailend Ti's limited edition status emphasises its exclusivity and collectibility for fans and enthusiasts. Although the pricing for the Tailend Ti has not been announced yet, it is expected to be in the same range as the Plantaris Ti ($2,640). The Tailend Ti will have an online release following the in-store launch on August 8.
The Oakley Tailend Ti reissue is a testament to Oakley's dedication to pushing the boundaries of eyewear design and technology. With its combination of lightweight durability, enhanced premium quality, and modern aesthetics, the Tailend Ti promises to be a sought-after addition to any eyewear collection.
