The rectangular lens shape and deep-set groove are lifted straight from Oakley's late-90s catalog, but the high-wrap geometry isn't there for looks. Oakley built the frame to block peripheral glare, which is a functional fix, not a styling call. Paired with Prizm Lens Technology for contrast and O Matter™ for weight, the Masseter reads as a retro shell wrapped around a current-generation optical brief. It lands alongside Plantaris and Lateralis as part of Oakley's wider high-wrap push for 2026.
