What the Velocity Collection is about
This line leans into movement and versatility — less flashy than Neon Pop, but still modern. The “Resin Paloma” tones (misty, translucent, metallic accents) give it a clean, athletic aesthetic that works both on a run and casually.
Frame & Design
-
Shape: Square-inspired shield (more structured than typical shields)
-
Build: Semi-rimless (lighter, more breathable look)
-
Material: O Matter™ (durable + lightweight)
-
Colorway: Matte Mist (subtle, neutral, adaptable)
Compared to others:
- More refined than Sutro
- More performance-driven than HSTN
Performance Focus
Designed with runners in mind:
- Reduced bounce design
- Secure fit during repetitive motion
- Lightweight feel for long wear sessions
This is the most movement-optimized of the three.
Fit & Stability
-
Unobtainium® sport nosepad
- Specifically designed to reduce “bobbing”
-
Unobtainium® ear socks
- Extra grip behind ears (not just nose)
This gives it the most locked-in feel of all three models.
Lens: Prizm Grey
-
Light transmission: 17% (bright light)
-
Base color: Grey (neutral, true-to-life colors)
-
Effect:
- Balanced contrast
- No color distortion
- Easy on the eyes for long periods
Compared to others:
- More natural than Prizm Ruby (Sutro)
- Less “punchy” than Prizm Jade (HSTN)
Protection
- High-impact tested (Oakley standard)
- Semi-rimless shield still gives strong coverage
- Good airflow → less fogging than full shields
Who these are for
Perfect if you want:
- A running / training-focused sunglass
- Secure, no-bounce fit
- Clean, modern look that isn’t loud
Not ideal if you want:
- Maximum visual impact (Sutro wins there)
- Pure lifestyle fashion (HSTN is better)
