Spain’s World Cup champions celebrated with custom Oakley Meta glasses

TL;DR: Spain’s World Cup winners celebrated their victory wearing a one-of-one pair of custom Oakley Meta glasses created exclusively for the team. While fans can’t buy that exact edition, Oakley’s AI glasses show how wearable tech could help athletes capture plays, review performance, and train smarter.

Spain’s World Cup celebration came with a special piece of tech. After winning the championship, the Spanish team celebrated wearing custom Oakley Meta glasses made just for the players.

The one-of-one edition features custom packaging and lenses etched with the FIFA World Cup Champions mark. While fans can’t buy this exact pair, you can get the same AI-powered experience with the Oakley Meta glasses.

Oakley Meta Vanguard is designed around the needs of athletes. The glasses can capture hands-free footage, letting players record practices, game highlights, or specific plays simply by saying, “Hey Meta, take a video.” The built-in 12MP ultra-wide camera records in 3K, while stabilization helps keep footage smoother during quick movements like sprints, cuts, and tackles.

The glasses can also help players review their performance after the game. When connected to apps like Strava or compatible devices like Garmin, Oakley Meta Vanguard can overlay performance data like sprint speed, distance, and heart rate on captured content, giving athletes more context around their training sessions.

The goal is to give players useful tech without making them think about the tech. Open-ear speakers let players hear audio while staying aware of what’s happening around them. Another key feature is Meta AI, which gives players hands-free access to information through voice commands, so they can get real-time answers and stay focused on the action.

The glasses are also built for the physical demands of sports. Oakley Meta Vanguard uses a rugged O Matter frame, Prizm lenses for enhanced clarity, and an IP67 water-resistance rating to handle sweat, weather, and tough training sessions.

Spain took home the trophy. You can take home the tech — Oakley Meta glasses are available on Amazon for $499.
