UPDATE: Found mention of free shipping for all AU orders. My order is coming via DHL from China. Updated deal title accordingly.
My Oakley Stride from https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/508012 finally gave out (the sole feels very hard and i'm getting sore heels) after 5 years of use. The foam is definitely compressed beyond point of no return.
Fun maths: This works out to be $6 / 1825 days of ownership = 0.33 cents per day! what a bargain eh.
So i went back to Oakley's website and saw they had a decent sale on up to 50% off items. I know they run sale pretty often but there are some bargains IMO atm in the shoes department.
It looked like all the shoes i looked at had free shipping.
Don't forget Cashrewards for 12% cashback too.
Some examples which i was eyeing, your tastes may vary… I ordered a pair of Fusion in Blue.
Chagos in White https://www.oakley.com/en-au/product/FOF100282?variant=19351… is 50% off. Nice looking pair of indoor and hard surface trainers. This looks like the most similar to the original Stride in design, except the colour. $74.98 Delivered.
EV Zero Dry in Grey https://www.oakley.com/en-au/product/FOF100136?variant=80561… is 50% off. Also nice looking, altho the colour may not be to everyone's liking. Blue and Jet Black are decent looking too but 40% off only. Good as a daily sneaker IMO. $62.48 Delivered - WOW!
EV Zero Edge in all colours (Black, Purple, Grey) https://www.oakley.com/en-au/product/FOF100141?variant=80561… looks like a good pair of runners for light short runs $59.98 Delivered - what a great price!
Fusion in Blue https://www.oakley.com/en-au/product/FOF100341?variant=19351… looks like a modern design as city sneakers. $79.98 Delivered

I am only interested in replacing my Stride so i only researched shoes - My experience from research is that they don't do a good job of marketing and segmenting their shoes on the website. They don't really categorise them by purpose. Eg. I have heard Chagos are good Tennis shoes, EV Zero Edge is a capable enough short distance runner. The Stride has certainly proved to me they make a decent pair of sneakers worthy of comparison to other sneaker shoe brands.
