Waiting on delivery of the same model with Maui Green Ultra lenses in Matte Black frame. Can't wait to get them!!

sorry it took me a while to post.
On the left are some hawkers. I first saw jorge lorenzo wearing them back in 2013-14, and got a few pairs before they were as known as today. Have gotten a lot of pairs since then, cheap Frogskins alternative that you don’t care if you lose or destroy them.
From aviators there are is a pair of classic 3025, two same pairs of a model that is somewhat rimless and came with three pairs of lenses, a g15, brown polarized and brown gradient, I like it more than the classic and for some reason the plastic g15 lens on them feels better than the glass one on the 3025.
Some 100% for cycling, the red hiper lens is good but nowhere as good as some prizm alternatives.
Arnettes are only two models here, I have about 5-6 more somewhere. It’s the brand I used before oakleys, but most are really small frames and have not used them in years.
From silhouette there are two 8562, one 8561 and one prescription pair that has black prescription lenses, not the best everyday glasses because they are small and out of style. I used them a lot on winter motorcycle trips where I did not have space to carry a second visor because they fit great under the helmet for long hours. The first pair I had was a 8568 that had left on the gas tank once on a mountain and they were blown away from the wind and lost them, they are light, about 8-9 grams.
A Porsche design pair that I like a lot, similar to a Holbrook metal and the lenses have some color pop.
And a few more frames that I have gotten over the years.

For your higher end stuff like the JMM's, do you typically acquire them directly from the manufacturer or from other collectors? I'm hoping to expand my collection beyond Oakley a little more, and it would be fantastic if there was a venue hosting a broader sunglasses exchange similar to what OF has. I read a lot of the posts on r/sunglasses, but that's the extent of my engagement with non-Oakley collecting so far. I've never noticed references to any sort of well-known exchange or anything in the r/sunglasses sub, but perhaps you know of another sub, Facebook group, etc that hosts such an exchange?

From Australia really reminds me of the Razor Blades Furore Helios.

Typically, I’ll find them at online consignment shops. Occasionally, I’ll find them at pawn shops. e-bay is a good source but I’ve only scored on there using the “newest listed” sort by tab. Gotta be quicker than a squirrel preparing for hibernation. As far as fb groups, I’m only in two, and they’re JMM specific.

Styleforum is the other online exchange/forum that I know of, beside the Reddit forum.

I totally forgot about Gentle Monster

You can see all the call backs in the radical frames various Oakley design

Maui Jim World Cup: High-Contrast Bronze super-thin glass lens

Costa del Mar Galveston: original Copper lens

I posted these second, because they rival the Maui Jim for Clarity & Wow factor.

Costa Tuna Alley: Gold Mirror iKon

Spy+ Dale Earnhardt Signature 88:

Spy+ Tackle:

Wiley-X Valor: Apex Ultra-Viridian

rubberized frames, very very easy to change the lens

DVX Spoiler: Seek Arctic Blue Mirror
division of Wiley-X

Rēvo Annika 2: Drive lens

I feel like Rēvo are highly underrated, & many models have Nylon (PolyAmide) lens

SunCloud Zephyr: original green mirror lens
a division of Smith Optics

SunCloud Zephyr: Seek Premium-Polarized Arctic-Blue Mirror
