Meta has joined forces with legendary performance eyewear brand Oakley to launch the Oakley Meta HSTN (pronounced HOW-stuhn), a sleek new line of AI-powered smart glasses designed to keep up with your lifestyle. And, your style.
It’s the next chapter in Meta’s wearable evolution, following the buzzworthy success of its Ray-Ban smart glasses. But this time, the collaboration hits harder, fusing Oakley’s iconic, sport-luxe aesthetic with Meta’s best-in-class technology. So what makes these glasses the accessory of the season?
Form meets function
With Oakley’s signature design DNA, the HSTN silhouette is equal parts bold and functional. Think lightweight frames, sculptural lines, and a subtle sport edge. Available in six chic colour and lens combinations (including Rx-ready options), these glasses work hard. And, with your wardrobe.
Smarter than your average sunnies .. no shade
Under the hood, the tech is quietly game-changing. A discreet built-in camera records ultra-high-definition 3K video from your point of view—perfect for documenting everything from a morning run to front-row moments at Fashion Week.
The glasses also come with Meta AI built in, offering voice-controlled music, weather updates, and real-time info – completely hands-free. Picture this. You’re walking along the coast, and you simply say, “Play the perfect song for this view.” Meta AI curates your soundtrack on the spot.
Ready to rock
Designed for a day that doesn’t quit, Oakley Meta HSTN glasses offer up to eight hours of battery life with typical use, and up to 48 more via the charging case. They’re IPX4 water-resistant, meaning you can wear them rain or shine, runway or real life.
Performance meets polish
Oakley’s renowned PRIZM Lens Technology is the secret sauce. By fine-tuning the light spectrum, PRIZM lenses enhance contrast and detail, helping you see the world in sharper focus – whether you’re scanning surf conditions, reading greens on the golf course, or simply strolling city streets.
Campaign stars to keep your eye on
To celebrate the launch, Meta and Oakley have tapped a global lineup of athletes who effortlessly merge performance with presence. Think Kylian Mbappé, Patrick Mahomes, Gabriel Medina and J.R. Smith—each showcasing how Oakley Meta HSTN elevates both sport and style –
And, the skate world is on board too, with Ishod Wair and Boo Johnson bringing the edge, while motorsport star Bicho Carrera operates at an entirely different altitude.
Where to find them
The Limited Edition Oakley Meta HSTN glasses – featuring luxe gold detailing and 24K PRIZM Polar lenses – lands for preorder on July 11, retailing at $789 via Meta.com, Oakley.com, and JB Hi-Fi. The wider collection, starting at AUD $629, will roll out across Australia and beyond in the coming months.
Sleek, intuitive and impossibly wearable, Oakley Meta HSTN is more than just a new piece of tech—it’s a statement. And it’s about to become your most stylish essential.
