Meta Oakley smart glasses has officially announced a new partnership with sports performance eyewear brand Oakley to create the next generation of smart glasses. The Oakley Meta Smart Glasses are scheduled to be unveiled on June 20, 2025, marking Meta’s third major wearable collaboration under the Luxottica Group umbrella.
Meta and Oakley Collaboration: The Next Evolution
Following the success of the Ray-Ban Stories (2021) and Ray-Ban Meta Glasses (2023), Meta has now expanded its wearable tech lineup through its partnership with Oakley, a subsidiary of Italian eyewear giant Luxottica Group SA. This new collaboration was announced via Instagram on a newly launched handle “Oakleymeta” with a teaser caption: “The next evolution is coming on June 20.”
While Meta has yet to reveal full specifications, reports suggest that the new Oakley Meta glasses will primarily target athletes and cyclists. This is a shift from the universal appeal of the previous Ray-Ban models, aligning Oakley Meta with Oakley’s core audience of sports and performance users.
Oakley Meta Glasses Design: Inspired by Oakley Sphaera
According to leaks reported by Gadgets360 and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the upcoming smart glasses are said to be modeled after the Oakley Sphaera, a multi-sport sunglasses model known for its aerodynamic design and sporty aesthetics.
Unlike previous Meta smart glasses which placed the camera on the side of the frame, the Oakley Meta Smart Glasses will reportedly feature a camera mounted at the center of the frame. This central placement is expected to deliver a more balanced and immersive point-of-view (PoV) for video recording — a key feature for cyclists, runners, and other outdoor athletes.
Oakley Meta Glasses: Aimed at Athletes
While previous Meta smart glasses were marketed for casual, lifestyle use cases such as social media sharing, navigation, and audio calls, the Oakley Meta Smart Glasses are reportedly optimized for sports performance. This could include features such as:
- Real-time cycling data overlays
- Fitness tracking integrations
- Central POV video recording for action sports
- Lightweight, aerodynamic design for high-speed activities
- Durable and weather-resistant build quality
We may also see advanced AI-powered features integrated into Meta’s software ecosystem to support athletic coaching and real-time feedback.
Meta’s Growing Wearable Ambitions
With this new product, Meta continues to expand its portfolio in the wearable tech and AR space. The collaboration with Oakley positions Meta to reach a specialized market segment — athletes and performance users — while continuing its competition with other AR wearable brands like Snap, Xreal, and Apple Vision Pro.
Oakley Meta Smart Glasses Launch Date
The official unveiling of the Meta Oakley Smart Glasses is scheduled for June 20, 2025. While pricing and availability details have not been announced yet, expectations are high for a premium, feature-rich smart glasses model that could appeal to both fitness enthusiasts and early adopters of wearable tech.
