Sunglasses and Eyewear

Oakley and 1242 Productions’ latest HD action sports film showcases the progression of wakeboarding and wakeskating through a travelogue of the world’s best riders. Join these athletes as they chase down perfect water in the world’s most exotic locations.

Collaborating with acclaimed filmmaker Justin Stephens and graphic artist Chase Heavener, Oakley’s “Push Process” combines experimental cinematography, editing and animation graphics with the most progressive riding ever documented on the big screen.

“Having a solid and creative support system has become a key ingredient in every film I’ve worked on,” says director Justin Stephens. “Putting in the time and energy to assemble the best crew yet is something we are very proud of. I can honestly say I’m more excited than ever to show everyone what we have going on right now.”

Oakley athletes Keith Lyman, Aaron Rathy, Andrew Adkison, Amber Wing, George Daniels, Danny Hampson, Dallas Friday and Jack Blodgett are more than just the stars who create the epic footage — they are members of the production team, all playing pivotal roles in the project since day one.

“Push Process is a detailed account of what it’s like to be involved with an underground movement,” says Executive Producer, Matty Swanson. “The movie is about the process of pushing our team to new heights, setting goals resulting in groundbreaking moments within the sport of wakeboarding.”

Shot exclusively in HD, Push Process takes viewers on a quest to Australia, South Africa, the Florida Keys, Cuba, Minnesota, the Amazon, Canada and beyond.

You’ve heard my opinion on the Split Thump MP3 player sunglasses from Oakley in today’s video review, but did you know they’re launching a special edition pair with the man possibly more famous for his hats than his music, Jamiroquai.They’ll be the 1GB model just like I reviewed, only have a special purple and white camouflage pattern on the arms and a lilac ‘O’ for the integrated control system on the sides. There will be only 500 pairs sold around the world, with just half of them in the UK. 1GB should allow you to fit around 250 tracks, with two being pre-loaded for the Jamiroquai fans, exclusive remixes from his album launched 15 years ago, Emergency on Planet Earth.

They’ll be £289.99, or US$569 if the exchange rate is obeyed. Be warned, though: if you couple these shades with a trilby hat, that may just be the tipping point where you find all your friends have deserted you.
