Marc Marquez Sliver

Does anyone know if the Marc Marquez Sliver has a custom bag? I like the pair but would probably just get a regular pair for the price difference.

this pair comes with a red micro bag with the 93 on it . . .

I'm surprised they didn't go with the Jupiter Squared's for him as he constantly wore a pair of matte black with pos red's on the podium, but I guess they wouldn't be any real visual difference between them and the Loeb's, except for the etching!

Any idea if they'll be available in the UK?

 

[Oakleynerd]

YES it should also be available even in the UK in april . . .

Cool, thanks for the info, though managed to find a Spanish company selling them on a sale already (im guessing launch discount as Marc is now a national treasure?) so ordered a set delivered for about £75 ($112 ish?).

It's funny that it worked out buying them in Euros & my bank converting it to pounds rather than selecting pounds on the site, lol.

Looks like it'll probably be an extra $5 on that price to ship to the USA, but cheaper than oakley direct

Well they took their time to arrive (the company had supply issues apparently) and I was slightly disappointed to find they came with a white MotoGP bag..

I emailed Oakley (US not Europe) and they replied back saying that was the correct bag for the frames. Shame really as I thought having a custom bag (ala the VR46 series) would have been a nice touch, maybe in a couple more seasons he'll get his own bag too, lol.

Nice frames though, light & comfortable to wear with the usual +red visual benefits!

Oh I forgot to update this thread that I did get one as well and was "meh" about the bag as well. The glasses themselves are really stand out though.

I think that's the trouble between a regular consumer and an Oakley collector, anybody else the bag is just a bag, but to us, it's a part of the glasses themselves, lol
