Every pair within the Roger Federer collaboration has been styled with comfort and ease. The frames are designed with rubber grip nose pads and temple tips to help support a consistent fit throughout performance wear, whether on your morning run, mid-point in a tennis match, or trying to drain a six footer for birdie. Federer stated, “We wanted to ensure the frames fit well and do not slide. With this, we created rubber grip details that sit on the back of your ears and nose. Especially with the adjustable rubber nose pads, the frames are comfortable and look strong on your face, without being too tight.” The different shapes accommodate for all life styles…performance oriented but with a flavor of style.
Throughout every model, there are recognizable details that pay homage to Roger Federer. He noted, “I’m a big fan of details. That’s why I think the collection looks so impressive.” Elements include a number “8” plaque, a special number to him representing his birthdate (8.8.81) as well as the number of his Wimbledon titles. A custom corewire pattern was developed and inspired by the threading patterns of the strings found on vintage tennis racquets. Another symbol of tennis is the custom octagonal RF metal logo piece at the temple tip. The octagonal shape is inspired by the end of a tennis racquet. In addition, every pair features the iconic RF logo on the plaque, temple tip, and lenses. These carefully crafted details for the wearer are a stamp of the Oliver Peoples brand.
The first-ever shield styles of Oliver Peoples
The collection has designed the first-ever “shield” styles in the Oliver Peoples branding. In designing shields, both OP and Federer wanted to make sure the frames had a clean look with a timeless personality . The collaboration offers two shield styles, R-4 and R-5. R-4 is more of a distinguished look with a top bar while R-5 features a minimalist, hidden top bar.
