Oakley Meta Glasses Seem To Be Launching On Friday

Oakley and Meta are teasing a joint launch for Friday.

A new verified Instagram page with the handle oakleymeta and name “Oakley | Meta” posted a collaborative video with the official Meta and Oakley pages teasing the June 20 launch, and the video has been reposted by Mark Zuckerberg.

The branding for the new page mirrors the “Ray-Ban | Meta” branding for the current Ray-Ban Meta glasses, strongly suggesting Meta’s partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica is about to expand to Oakley too.

Exactly this was reported by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman back in January.

While the Ray-Ban Meta glasses have a camera on one side and are aimed towards all consumers, the Oakley Meta glasses will have the camera in the center and be intended for “cyclists and other athletes”, Gurman claimed at the time.

The Ray-Ban Meta glasses have been a breakout hit so far. In February EssilorLuxottica announced that over 2 million units had been sold, and said that annual production capacity is being increased to 10 million by the end of 2026.
