    The Oakley Safehouse has been a hot spot in Beijing for the world’s best athletes. From breakfast to dinner, athletes have been flowing through, meeting the Oakley team, building custom eyewear, filming interviews, playing air hockey and Wii, checking email and just relaxing.

    “I can really see a direct correlation between athletes spending time in the Safehouse and wearing their Oakley eyewear,” says Oakley Sports Marketing Manager Megan Pura. “The Austrian beach volleyball players came in yesterday. We built custom eyewear, played some Wii and sent them on their way. That night they wore Radar with Clear/Black Iridium throughout night match.”
