Authenticity

[SecretNinja]

I see these everywhere. I believe they are overseas knockoffs right? Did Oakley ever make a case that looked like this?

 

[dragonvoi]

yep fake.

 

[G-901]

Yep,fake..there's no "L" between the K and E

 

[SecretNinja]

That's what I thought. I reported some jackhole for selling fake Oakleys on ebay and he sent me a nasty email saying I have no idea what I am talking about. Some people! Lol

 

[SecretNinja]

Thats what I told him. It says Oakey

 

[G-901]

Lol yep OAKEY is short for foakley

 

[SecretNinja]

So, if I bid on the item, will he owe me if it gets pulled by ebay?

Oakey was a variation of Oakley that never took off. The concept was a less expensive alternative for the common man. That being said they produced a variety of glasses like the Romie O, the Madusa, the Over the Topless and the 30 Second, which was cheaper to make than the Minute. These as well as other little known facts are all in my book available in paperback called Oakey Dokie Smokie. Shades for an average dude!

I bought an R1 and it came with that case. I only just recently realized it was a knock-off, and also found it was Oakey.

I think they thought they made a good copy of this logo.

The website that sold those was called cheapsunglasses.com. they are shut down and are being sued by Oakley for copyright infringement on their logo. Mess with the big dogs and you'll get bit.
