Ask any professional athlete and they’ll tell you that making it to the top takes dedication and passion.

Sometimes that takes forgoing certain things in their lives – careers, friendships, time with family among others – in pursuit of achieving sporting excellence at any level.

For these peeps who live, breathe and embody sports, these are sacrifices that aren’t to be taken lightly, and Oakley – one of Sunglass Hut‘s top athletic sunglasses brand – understands them all too well.

Through the global #OneObsession campaign, Oakley has brought the movement to South Africa to recognise and celebrate those who make these sacrifices in the name of their passions.

Teaming up with a trio of local athletic giants – professional trail runner Ryan Sandes, Fixie cyclist Wandile Zondo and avid inner city street runner Hakim Malema – they’ve filmed videos depicting an average day in their lives while highlighting what it means to live their obsession to the max:

The shades they were rocking as they cycled through the Jozi streets and climbed up the Cape Town berge were not just for style’s sake: Oakley Prizm shades are designed to fine-tune colour, sharpen contrast and heighten clarity.

The unique lens technology makes them ideal for every weather condition.

This blue beauty right here is the Holbrook Metal Prizm Sapphire, with polarised lenses and dark-grey frames that’ll make you look and feel cool.

Or, if you’re looking for something that’s a little fiery, look no further than the Frogskin Prizm shades with orange lenses and black frames.

After all, that athlete’s lifestyle is a badge to be worn with pride, and the Oakley Prizm shades are the perfect matching accessory.

Head on down to Sunglass Hat to check out their selection of Oakley Prizm shades, and find out which will suit your face type and your passion.

See you on the mountain paths and city streets.
