The Oakley Offshore Collection has been unveiled by the brand for Team USA Surfing ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games as a chic series of gear perfect for athletes to don out of the water. The collection starts off with a windbreaker and technical fleece alongside convertible pants, a poncho, tech fleece shorts, tees, tanks and much more. The garments are each observed in colors that call to the sea with a range of materials chosen for their technical capabilities as well as their comfort.
Apparel Design Director Massimo Nicosia commented on the Oakley Offshore Collection saying, "Inspired by the ocean colors and reflections, our designs and prints draw inspiration from the natural beauty and velocity of the waves, which athletes set in motion during competition and in turn empower them to proudly showcase their Team USA pride after their performance in the water."
