Iridium Talk

Thanks for the tag Matt. My favorite iridium is probably Ruby. I have a few rubies that show slight differences.

Thanks for posting all of those pics Matt! I wanted to comment on a couple. That first XS Ruby almost looks like Torch. Then the XX and Aero Grid Sky looks like Ruby I'm accustomed to. The OTT Fire and Madman Fire are pretty close, but the OTT old-school Fire does look darker, like "Fruby" of today. Finally, I wanted to say that I love the +Red, but don't have any glasses with them, unfortunately (and I have a lot of glasses lol).

My favorite iridium is all black Lenses: black iridium polarized, VR28 Black iridium polarized, OO black iridium polarized, prizm black polarized, prizm road black are all awesome!

I'm a fan of Black Iridium as well. I have several pairs of BIPP, and plain BI. My wife's favorite pair of Unstoppable has VR28 BI, which is hard to replace now.

Yea I didn’t picture the OTT lenses very well lol. There is a lot more red in them looking at them head on.

Definitely love the old generation Fire lenses better than the new ones. Much better combo of colors rather than just an orange/yellow.

My favorite lenses over the years has prbably been Titanium Iridium. Just something about the way they shade the light, the contrast, etc.

Second favorite is probably Emerald/Jade Iridium. (same thing??)

@MatSteelersFan re:+Red
The Jordans appear to be original OO Red iridium as opposed to +Red?
Beautiful plumage, with deep red wine hues.

I lean toward OO Red iridium polarized, as I prefer the G40 base, to the Greys of the other two.
…and I need to take pics.

Agreed.
All the Bronze based lenses give a bright contrast, which I find kinda soothing. Titanium seems to have the densest iridium mirror.
