FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.—From April 24 to May 10, Oakley opened “Oakley in Residence: Los Angeles,” a creative hangout space and pop-up skate park to explore, participate in and celebrate a shared obsession for creativity in skate. The space is the first of three community workshop spaces the brand will host. Later this month, Oakley will open one centered around urban cycling culture in London and in July one in New York celebrating baseball culture.

The “Oakley in Residence” brand hubs are designed to fuel passion rooted in sport as part of the company’s global One Obsession campaign that invites people around the world to join the #LiveYours movement, share their passion and inspire others, the company said.

The L.A. location, located at 7763 Melrose Ave., was part creative space and part skateboarding destination, and was free and open to the public daily from 11 am to 8 pm. It offered a weekly schedule of workshops, exhibitions, athlete meet-ups, skate sessions and film screenings.

“A sport is only as strong as the community that supports it, and that community is built on a shared obsession of the sport,” said Tom Cartmale, global director brand communications. “Oakley in Residence: Los Angeles is a place for like-minded people to gather and celebrate their shared passion in skateboarding—bringing the essence of Oakley’s One Obsession campaign to life,” he said.
