God, I hope not. The 90's style wraparounds were incredibly fugly.

Eye jacket vs sliver....i take eye jacket any day and twice on sunday. 90s style wraparounds were the heart of oakley...they need to make a comeback...
Well I wouldn't say they've left that completely behind- there's been new models that adhere to that DNA such as the Turbine and in recent memory the Pit Bull, Pit Boss etc....though the PB was JJ carryover- but it's definitely fallen off. The question becomes when will they choose to cycle the fashion trends back to that (because those trends are driven by the manufacturers not the consumer...and in this case it's driven by just Lux because they're THE monopoly in the eyewear industry)- right now they're going to ride the wave of "sunglasses don't actually need to shade your eyes from the sun and why wouldn't you want people to be able to see your eyes" designs that emphasize the squared off, big lens look (ironically more lens that does less) which is interpreted as masculine - which I'm not saying it isn't as I get more female eyeballing in Holbrooks than all other shades combined- I just don't see it as uniquely masculine...but I'm a guy so what do I know. But who knows- you might see something- the company basically does one off models now with nothing being in production for longer than an hour only to be discontinued so much like dead clocks are right twice a day...anything is possible.
Yes. yes it does. But today's suck-diddily-ucks x 100, compared to late 80s-90s.
Hip hop sucks anyway.
Had I not gotten into XMETALS, I would be wearing these and Fives 2.0. Only went to Fives because I'm rough on glasses and the ear stems are thin and fragile on these. I will get another nostalgia pair soon. 45mm FMJ and put some Deep H2O in them for fishing.i think Pit bull and Turbine have a modern cut and are totally 2010 + style , yes they are futuristic like many things oakley make , but i think they are not near the wraparound style of 90 ´s like eye jaket and the old straight jackets and the Twenty XX ....and i think its that style this thread talk about ..the begining ....
Cheers

I really didn't either. My buddy had a pair (that I now own) I found my first pair on the side of the road and got some new lenses for them. Loved the hell out of them, but really knew nothing about them. Lost them in 2010. Got a job where I had some extra $ so I thought I'd get another pair. Found this forum and started reading and seeing what they were about. That was 6/15, Im up to 7 pairs.About the X metals ................some days ago i didnt even no what are x metals !!!
i am more and less new on oakley i learn a lot and i think on this first year i start wearing oakley i buy around 20 o-matter pairs
Now that i know the x metals , i wish i have a pair of X quared or Romeo ....
X -metals are true art !!!!!
