Need Help Identifying What Model Oakley Sunglasses Thread

[TheStig]

Hi all! I just picked these up. All I know is they are in the style of the E wire but I’m not sure if they are authentic, which release they are, ect. Couldn’t find any “Made in USA” marking. I do believe there was a very small bit of green corrosion where the frame and lens meet.

What can you tell me about these? Thanks!

Yes, super fake

Dang. I’m having trouble finding pics of authentic pairs to compare.

Can someone share a photo of an authentic E-wire gen 1 hinge?

Gen 2 CB, Black strike lens..and quite prone to cracking at the temples.. the crystal series thermoplastics used for the Gen2’s are notorious for hairline fractures.

@TheStig is it in your possession? If not ask for bottom up pics of the temples. While the tops have no fractures, the bottom of the hinges may.
