Is Crosslink worth getting in 2023?

[StanTheManWithThe NYTan]

Im a bit late to the game having just discovered the Oakley Crosslink eyeglass frames. From what I've been able to discover this particular frame was popular years ago and as such I haven't seen them stocked in places like Lenscrafters. I think my best bet thus far is getting a used pair from eBay. I do prefer the look of the original Crosslink as it has the shorter lens height. I guess my question, is it worth getting these frames in 2023? I couldn't find any replacement arms etc. on the Oakley website, leading me to believe that the model was discontinued? And if so, why? They seem like such a cool idea, the customizable arms, the exchangeable nose pieces.

I used to have a pair and liked them but the ear socks fell apart and I couldn’t get replacements that matched the original color. I don’t know if they’re just selling remaining stock or only make new temples every couple of years but it was a problem getting parts like 4 years ago too.
