I should Work at Oakley
Picked up my Gamma 11's
Not sure if those familiar with me could tell from my posts over the years, but black is always my preference for colorways. Part of it was the aesthetic, the other part being it handles wear better in my mind. I keep hearing mixed hindsight on how the 2013 pair was received, I always wanted it because of how dominantly-black it was, and the outsole wasn't going to dramatically discolor/yellow with oxidization.
And not to get too sentimental, 12 years was so long ago. I couldn't afford this even if there was a pair in front of me. Crazy now I'm got this with the concern over what space I have to store it.

Glad you hit for retail (although retail is creeping up on resell prices at this point). These flew. I'm the same, I love black colorways. I only have like one white pair in my collection. These are perfect since the sole will only get darker not yellow. I hate that my 72-10s have the sole yellowing. I wish they would have just made those soles white. The gammas are going to replace the 72-10s in my display boxes. I for sure try to avoid clear soles if I can now a days.
