Here's the new x metal

[xmetal40]

Price is ridiculous on these new X-Metals. Anyone planning on buying these? I'm considering but it's a steep price.

Oakley - Men's & Women's Sunglasses, Goggles, & Apparel

Price is ridiculous.

Shade Station

Look is ridiculous as well.
Not in a good way.
OTT was cool.
This, not so much.

Price is ridiculous.

Shade Station

may be lower msrp stateside. at least thats what it was when Oakley was an American company.

This style is seriously polarizing. I personally hate it, but I'm sure there are those that'll love them. I don't think there will be many in the middle.

Honestly I think this looks so outrageous in a not-necessarily good way, I'd be compelled to rock it. It's like a bad idea that might be so bad it's good. My real gripe is just that price.

The Badman on the other hand seems more "realistic", but again that price....I really hope that's not final, although I know other brands are pushing ridiculous premiums while being presumably having less engineering behind them. It's almost like "why not" for Oakley and Lux, especially if they were to be made in America. Relatively speaking in that case, the price is "justified"

If One goes through the regular shade station site, the price is €400.

The Madman only interests me as a crazy piece, I won't be clamoring for either of these.

At a glance I'm not in a rush to buy either - I would have to get eyes and hands on before going further than a pair for discovery purposes.

I am not buying anything Oakley right now, but if I was and they were available the Prizm Daily Polarized ones would be near the top of my list as I wanted to try those lenses.

It might be interesting to get a pair with Rx lenses at one point not too long ago. The X Titanium Badman might be an option for that, especially if that is the only one with an 'X' in the title.

I also like the Sapphire lenses
