HAVEN has teamed up with Oakley for an exclusive global pre-release of the Tailend TI—a reissued eyewear silhouette launched in honor of its 10-year anniversary. Originally debuting in 2015, the Tailend stands out as one of the more refined pieces from Oakley’s legendary X-Metal line, known for its use of titanium alloy frames and experimental, boundary-pushing designs.
This updated version retains the rounded lens profile and futuristic aesthetic that defined its original release, but with streamlined minimalism and a newly sculpted lightweight titanium frame. The design features Prizm Ruby lenses, engineered to deliver enhanced contrast and optical clarity, echoing the brand’s legacy of Mad Science innovationwith a cleaner, more elevated look.
To mark the launch, HAVEN will host an in-store drop and product session led by Oakley’s team at their Vancouver location on August 8. A broader release via HAVEN’s online store will follow.
This reissue bridges technical nostalgia and contemporary design, spotlighting Oakley’s enduring cultural relevance across fashion, function, and futurism.
