Meta has officially teamed up with Oakley to launch Oakley Meta HSTN, a pair of AI-powered smart glasses made for athletes, creators, and adrenaline junkies alike. The new launch builds on the roaring success of Meta’s Ray-Ban smart glasses, which have already sold in the millions. The announcement, made on Friday, confirms Meta’s deepening partnership with eyewear giant EssilorLuxottica, the parent of both Ray-Ban and Oakley. The new product promises hands-free content creation, open-ear audio, water resistance, and built-in Meta AI. The limited-edition Oakley Meta HSTN hits preorder on July 11 at $499, with more models coming later this summer.

Whether you’re recording a skate trick or checking surf conditions, Oakley Meta HSTN plays assistant, DJ, and videographer in one.
