Oakley And Metalwood Studio Revisit Golf’s Visual Heritage With Limited-Edition FW26 Collection
By PAGE Editor
Golf has long maintained a distinctive relationship with fashion, where performance, tradition, and personal expression intersect. As the sport continues to attract a new generation of enthusiasts, its visual language is evolving beyond conventional course attire. Oakley® and Metalwood Studio are leaning into that shift with a limited-edition Fall/Winter 2026 capsule that revisits the sport's archival aesthetics through a contemporary design perspective.
Bringing together Oakley's 50-year legacy of performance innovation and Metalwood Studio's unconventional approach to golf culture, the collaboration introduces a head-to-toe collection comprising ten apparel and accessory pieces alongside two exclusive eyewear styles. The result is a meeting of technical functionality and nostalgic design references, challenging the traditional boundaries of golf apparel without losing sight of the game's heritage.
Eyewear anchors the collection, with two recognizable Oakley silhouettes receiving distinctive Metalwood treatments. The Plantaris SQ arrives in Trans Dark Grey with Prizm™ Bronze lenses, featuring Metalwood Studio's wordmark laser-etched into the lens. Meanwhile, the SCAR sunglasses combine a lightweight O-Matter™ frame, Plutonite® UV protection, and low-light Prizm™ lens technology with a more unexpected design detail: a laser-etched brogue pattern inspired by vintage golf footwear, including Oakley's early-2000s TUXEDO golf shoes.
The apparel follows a similarly considered approach. The Icon Jacket and Icon Pant feature reflective piping and custom-branded hardware, while a poly-stretch fleece Longsleeve Knit introduces another layer of technical versatility. Performance-driven staples include a Perforated Polo with sweat-mapped ventilation and the C1 Polo, built around Oakley's signature collar. An enzyme-washed Spike Ellipse T-Shirt, Wingtip Dad Cap with brogue-inspired perforation, and jacquard-knit Crew Sock round out the offering.
For both brands, the collaboration is less about reproducing golf's past than reconsidering what its influence can look like today. Oakley's countercultural design history meets Metalwood's philosophy of making golf more accessible and individualistic.
"The design collaboration between Oakley and Metalwood is inspired by each brand's take on archival golf history, with Metalwood's 'Tired Technology' and Oakley counter culture," said Kelly Wenrick, Oakley Senior Designer.
Metalwood Studio founder Cole Young echoed that sentiment, noting that the partnership draws from Oakley's extensive design archive without simply producing a throwback collection. The intention, he explained, is to create something for golfers who want to approach the course with their own sense of identity.
The Oakley x Metalwood Studio FW26 capsule launches November 12 at 5 p.m. PDT through Metalwood.Studio and Oakley.com, alongside an in-store release at select Oakley retail locations. Ultimately, the collaboration offers a compelling reminder that golf's next chapter may be shaped as much by personal style and cultural participation as by performance on the course.
