Why are Oakley Romeo's and Juliets so expensive?

xmetals are snowflakes. The ones that arent beat to **** after 20 years, stayed on a shelf.
Id say theyre more like a jag, or a land rover defender. Beautiful to roll, but you gotta keep em up. put a 62mm turbo on a 4cyl honda and get 600 hp. Daily drive it for years..

What hasn’t been stated here, is that de facto the Romeo & Juliet’s — are from Shakespeare!

Yes named after the cigars -which are named the famous play.

That's not how it works.

At the time, the person/people had full working knowledge of both the play and the cigars and they chose to name it after the cigars and not the play....therefore its named after the cigars. Not the play. Not defacto. Not famous.

It all started with a pair of sunglasses. 441 patents later, Oakley hopes its sports gear will make extreme history. In Southern California, a land where exposure is highly coveted, the sprawling gray building that houses Oakley Inc. stands aloof on a hill. I can't find a sign at the bottom of...

Durability? I guess if they sit on a glass shelf they are.

I wore my Juliets for 19 years. Yes they need a tune up, but I think that is acceptable considering the hard use I put them through.

19 years on a car is hard use. 19 years sitting on your nose bridge.. I dunno

...true, but what you don't know is all the heat, sweat, rain, wind, and concrete (when I dropped them) that they have survived through. I even had a car accident which sent them flying out the window. I was not kind to them. I guess you will have to just trust me when I say "hard use" I mean that 19 years on my nose bridge (and on my person) is very rough on glasses.
