Akoni and Out Of unveil Explorer, a high-performance ski goggle combining refined design with Irid adaptive lens technology
Akoni and Out Of join forces to present Explorer, a ski goggle project that brings together high-end eyewear craftsmanship and advanced technology for snow sports. Designed for athletes, explorers and performance-driven consumers, the collaboration combines Akoni’s meticulous design philosophy with Out Of’s expertise in technical eyewear, creating a product where functionality and refined aesthetics coexist.
At the core of Explorer is the latest generation of Irid technology, an adaptive lens system that automatically adjusts its tint to changing light conditions in less than a second, ensuring optimal vision across different environments on the slopes. The design draws inspiration from contemporary sports equipment, precision engineering and architectural minimalism, translating technical performance into a distinctive visual language.
Matte black finishes, black rhodium details and a rich palette centred on emerald green define the project’s identity, balancing understated elegance with a strong sporting character. The collaboration extends beyond the goggles themselves, encompassing dedicated packaging, collectible design elements and a carefully curated visual campaign that celebrates exploration and contemporary performance culture. Every detail reflects the shared ambition of the two brands to redefine the relationship between technology, design and luxury.
Officially launching in November 2026, Akoni x Out Of Explorer will be available through selected retailers and akoni.com.
