Roger Federer introduces his inaugural line of sunglasses in collaboration with Oliver Peoples, seamlessly blending style, comfort, and athletic performance.
Tennis legend Roger Federer has debuted his first-ever sunglasses collection in partnership with Oliver Peoples, following an exclusive licensing agreement with eyewear manufacturer EssilorLuxottica in May 2023.
The union of four collections under the ‘RF’ brand by Roger Federer and Oliver Peoples launches with a six-piece lineup, featuring four sunglasses and two shield frames. Each pair has been crafted for “comfort and ease,” as Oliver Peoples describes, having collaborated with Federer on the collection, featuring nose pads and rubber temple tips to ensure a consistent fit during athletic use.
The sunglasses are also remarkably lightweight, weighing in at a maximum of 35 grams per pair, and employ high-quality visual lenses, such as color-enhancing lenses and polarized lenses to reduce sun glare.
Federer shared insights on the collaboration and design details, stating, “Sunglasses are something I’ve enjoyed as my sport has required chasing the sun 80 percent of my life. One of the main goals of our collection was to create sunglasses that could be worn in every aspect of one’s routine, on or off the court.”
The collection also includes nods to Federer, such as the number 8, significant to the tennis star, representing his birthdate (8.8.81) and the tally of his Wimbledon titles.
The inaugural Oliver Peoples x Roger Federer sunglasses collection is available at Oliver Peoples boutiques and online, as well as through select wholesale partners.
