"Part of the vision behind their latest lifestyle footwear line is the aggressive styling that bolsters their brand identity with a younger customer base and those who compete in the core sports of surf, skate, snow and MX/BMX," stated Oakley President Colin Baden.
"The fall collection also features some of the most technically advanced footwear we've ever created as they take advantage of the crossover technologies among their diversified product categories. Innovations from their Military/Industrial Division have found their way to the general public in the boot products of this innovative new footwear line."
Oakley is once again raising the bar in its technical footwear category with a new boot called CASING - an evolutionary nod to the previously successful NAIL boot.
Premium grade outerwear construction which utilizes waterproof leathers and Nubuc are combined with 600g Thinsulate insulation for winter protection down to -20 degrees Fahrenheit. A breathable eVent waterproof membrane helps keep the foot comfortably dry while a full gusseted tongue prevents unwanted debris entry.
