Hey everyone. I recently bought a pair of Oakley sunglasses at a thrift store for $10, and I’ve spent some time carefully checking them. They feel very lightweight and high-quality, the hinges work smoothly, and overall they match the original model in every detail I could compare.

The only thing that confuses me is that there’s no SKU/part number printed on the inside of the left arm. I noticed that some listings on eBay show the same model without a SKU, selling for $200+, so now I’m wondering if mine are genuine.

I also came across a YouTube video where the owner of another original Oakley model explained that in cases of custom configurations (unique colorways, accessory swaps, etc.), Oakley sometimes leaves out the SKU. Another possibility is that it may have simply worn off over time.

Since I’m new to Oakley, I’d really appreciate any insights from experienced collectors or specialists here. Does the missing SKU necessarily mean they’re not authentic, or could this be a known variation?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Could be a OCP (Oakley Custom program) pair but can also be fake.
No Radar expert @MicahS what do you think?
