After Oakley came out with its "Medusa Hat" last month, we were beginning to wonder what was going on over there. But now that we see it's releasing a new pair of MP3 sunglasses dedicated to Jamiroquai, perhaps it's becoming clearer where they get their inspiration for headgear designs.

The latest version of Oakley's "Split Thump" line of shades is a 1GB Jamiroquai special edition, according to Engadget. With a purple and white camo pattern, it's sure to bring you right back to your disco-rave days--or something. We just appreciate that, thanks to this item, we now know where the band's name comes from.
