"Man, I think I was a kid, when I started doing jiu-jitsu - I started like around 10-, or 9-years old - but my dad is a huge fan of MMA," Gimenis explained. "I think in my mind back in my mind, I already being prepared to fight MMA at one point of my life."

When two brands with strong identities collide, the result usually makes waves - and that's exactly what's happening with Albino & Preto and Oakley. For the first time, the two have partnered on a full-scale global release, bringing together Oakley's reputation for bold innovation and A&P's vision of jiu-jitsu as more than a sport, but a lifestyle. The outcome? A collection that works as hard on the mat as it does in everyday life.

The collection bridges technical functionality with a laid-back coastal vibe, making it suitable for both jiu-jitsu practice and leisure activities at the beach.
