The Oakley Latch Alpha Frame is a premium sport-lifestyle eyewear design that combines bold styling, advanced materials, secure fit technology, and Oakley optical performance. Part of the Oakley Valentino Rossi Collection, the frame reflects the speed and attitude associated with its namesake, featuring signature colors and a Valentino Rossi logo etched on the lens.
The Latch Alpha features a distinctive bold lens shape and double-bridge architecture, creating a strong contemporary appearance. Its construction combines a die-cast aluminum center with high-density Unobtainium® temples, delivering a balance of lightweight durability, refined styling, and comfortable everyday performance.
The die-cast aluminum center provides a lightweight and durable frame structure, while the high-density Unobtainium® temples are designed to increase grip with perspiration. This helps keep the eyewear securely positioned during movement, making the Latch Alpha suitable for sports, outdoor activities, travel, driving, and active lifestyles.
For enhanced comfort and fit adjustment, the frame features silicone nosepads. These nosepads provide comfortable contact while allowing the eyewear to be positioned securely according to the wearer’s facial shape. The frame is designed for medium to large faces, offering a substantial and confident fit.
A signature feature of the Latch Alpha is its clip-to-shirt functionality, allowing the eyewear to be conveniently attached to clothing when not in use. This adds practical everyday convenience while reinforcing the frame’s lifestyle-oriented design.
The featured Prizm Black lenses are designed for bright light conditions, offering 11% light transmission with a grey base lens color. Oakley’s Prizm™ Lens Technology is engineered to enhance color, contrast, and detail for an optimized visual experience.
Selected configurations are available with HDPolarized™ lenses, designed to minimize distracting glare from reflective surfaces. The available Plutonite® lens material provides high-level UV protection by filtering 100% of UVA and UVB rays up to 400 nm, along with some harmful blue light.
Selected lens configurations also feature an Iridium® coating, designed to reduce glare and provide tuned light transmission. HDO® Optics are designed to provide clear and precise vision while supporting impact resistance. Oakley lenses are designed and tested under high-mass and high-velocity conditions and are engineered to meet or exceed applicable optical and impact standards.
For users requiring vision correction, the frame is available with Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses, allowing prescription wearers to enjoy the distinctive Latch Alpha design while accommodating their individual optical requirements.
The Oakley Latch Alpha Frame is an excellent choice for users looking for premium Oakley lifestyle eyewear, Valentino Rossi sunglasses, double-bridge frames, aluminum eyewear, Prizm Black sunglasses, polarized Oakley frames, and prescription-ready performance eyewear.
