"J" ... The New REAL Oakley?

[Duke Nivram]

I'll send you plenty of money! Just send me back all your Oakleys...

If JJ starts a new eyewear company I will be selling my Oakley's

I'm sticking with my collection. They are all beautiful designs with colourways from ok to stunning. The thought not to mention R'n'D that went in to them is plain for all to see....

After Jim Jannard announced how sad he was at the killing of his brand Oakley, on his Facebook page, Jim released this on his page:

Our new project.

1. It is not world peace. I only wish we could deliver.

2. It is not energy related. We will leave that up to Elon Musk.

3. It is not time travel. That is just not going to happen.

4. It is not about saving wildlife. Although I am fully engaged in that cause.

5. It is not VR... which I think is as obsolete as 3D. No one has just acknowledged this yet.

6. It is not AR... which I think is doomed from the start because no one wants to walk around wearing a headset. Think about it.

Every once in awhile everything changes. That's what we have.

In 2006 I asked everyone to trust me. We delivered 4k on a compact flash card for $17,500 when Sony was selling 1080P for $225K to an SR deck.

As of now, RED cameras have shot "The Hobbit", "Transformers", "The Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and the upcoming "Avatar 2, 3 and 4". And much more. See red.com... Shot on RED.

Once again, I am asking you to trust me.

This is the single most important thing I have ever worked on or been involved with.

News coming... tell your friends. It is for everyone.




Dr. Chop did a little investigation and found this:

J Trademark Application of James H. Jannard - Serial Number 86765150 :: Justia Trademarks


Are we looking into the brilliant mind of Oakley again?

Time to dump the subpar Oakley and what it has become, and jump on board "J"??? Time will tell very shortly!

He actually posted that back in June under happier circumstances. However, it does seem rather poignant now.

I just might. Except for my X metals... Those are part of history. But there might even be new X metals. Ones that don't break after you try them on, or when the wind blows on them.

I'll be keeping my meager collection as well (maybe try to pad it a bit with some more). No reason to get rid of quality product just to spite "the big company that continues to ruin a once great company and product" (I'm not dignifying them by mentioning their name).


I've been away for over a week and I this is certainly good news to come home to, especially with the news about the layoff's and changes I've been reading about the "O" brand.

I'm very curious to see how this news develops...........

HOLD THAT THOUGHT.

I find it extremely unlikely he'd get back into sunglasses, or start another sunglasses company. IMHO he's not really the type to repeat himself. If this is still going anywhere I'd bet it's something new.

Following! Interested to see where this goes.

Kronin, I agree. The Oakley thing is a Legacy.............he has moved on.

However, timing is interesting.... Could he have signed a 10 year no compete? Who knows. All speculation of spectacles.
