Oakley Sphaera Strike Sunglasses – Prizm Road
The Oakley Sphaera Strike Sunglasses with Prizm Road lenses are performance sports sunglasses designed for athletes who want a wide field of view, secure fit and a lens suited to medium light conditions. The Prizm Road lens has 20% light transmission and a Rose base lens, while Oakley's O-Matter™ frame and Unobtainium® contact points provide the performance foundation for active use.
Prizm Road lens for medium light
This version of the Sphaera Strike is fitted with an Oakley Prizm Road lens, featuring 20% light transmission and a Rose base lens colour.
Oakley's Prizm™ lens technology is designed to enhance colour and contrast, helping make visual details easier to distinguish.
Wide view in a sleeker Sphaera shape
The Sphaera Strike takes the wide view performance approach of the original Oakley Sphaera and reworks it into a sleeker rectangular silhouette. The result is performance eyewear built around visibility and stability while maintaining a streamlined overall profile.
For sport, the wide field of view helps reduce how much the frame interferes with your vision as you look ahead, across or down during movement.
Unobtainium® grip that works with perspiration
Oakley uses Unobtainium® on the earsocks and nosepad, placing its grip material at the main contact points between the sunglasses and your head.
Unobtainium® is designed to increase grip with perspiration, helping the Sphaera Strike remain securely positioned as sweat levels increase during training and sport.
Flexible O-Matter™ frame
The O-Matter™ frame uses Oakley's injection moulded thermoplastic material. It provides improved strength and flexibility compared with traditional acetate and is designed to resist shifting or deforming over time.
Combined with the Sphaera Strike's streamlined rectangular shape, the frame provides a performance focused platform for the Prizm Road lens.
Who are the Oakley Sphaera Strike Prizm Road Sunglasses best for?

The 20% light transmission provides a lighter option than Prizm Black, while Unobtainium® grip and the O-Matter™ frame support use during active movement.
