Oakley has launched a bold new retail concept in Denver’s RiNo Arts District, combining brutalist design, immersive tech, and community-driven intent. This flagship encapsulates the brand’s 50-year legacy while projecting a clear vision for the future.
RiNo, known for its vibrant art scene and creative energy, aligns perfectly with Oakley’s identity. By embedding itself in this neighborhood, Oakley isn’t just opening a store — it’s establishing a cultural outpost for athletes, artists, and innovators. The district’s street art culture and collaborative spirit mirror the brand’s multifaceted DNA.
The flagship reflects Oakley’s brutalist DNA, inspired by its Foothill Ranch HQ, reimagined with Colorado’s raw natural elements. A large-scale mural by local artist Chelsea Lewinsky bridges California and Colorado, creating a space where concrete, light, and color celebrate both nature and urban identity.
The space is built around interactive zones: the “Customization Zone” allows visitors to personalize their eyewear, the “Prizm Wall” showcases Oakley’s lens tech, while the “Museum Wall” and “Catalyst Wall” highlight past icons and future-forward products. Integrated digital shopping through “Smart Shopper” bridges online and physical retail in real time.
Oakley RiNo functions as a cultural hub. A rooftop lounge hosts meetups, athlete Q&As, and creative events, all designed to foster connection. Every corner of the store is built for community, elevating the visitor journey into something participatory and purposeful.
The space carries one of the largest Oakley selections in the country, including signature lines like Latitude, Reserve, and Field Gear. Shoppers will also find exclusive drops and collaborative editions released throughout the year, reinforcing the store’s role as a flagship experience hub.
Oakley RiNo signals a shift in the retail optics landscape, where design, innovation, and local relevance define the consumer journey. It’s a masterclass in how legacy brands can remain culturally vital and forward-thinking.
