Need Help Identifying What Model Oakley Sunglasses Thread

[MicahS]

Yes, I know what model this is and I know its exact SKU, I’m just confused about why there’s no SKU on the arm. Hopefully, it turns out to be OTP.

Well

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!

If you know that SKU, please post it. It will help. The SKU would be recessed on the inside to the left arm and so it doubtful it would have worn off. OCP (Oakley Custom Products) eyewear never has SKU's so that is a possibility. All in all it looks pretty good so if its a fake its one of the best I've seen. Normally the lens is a giveaway because they never seem to be able to get the lens cut right but this is OK. Id give this a 95% sure its real.

I found a very similar colorway through Google image search, with the article number: OO9208-0538.

But I don’t know if additional lenses come with the set, since in all the photos of this colorway they show the Prizm Road lens color, while mine are black. Maybe that’s why they don’t have an article number, because the person who bought them chose customization and only changed the lenses. In that case, could the article number be removed?

When you build a custom they start with a new, unused frame and make it from scratch. They don't use existing skus and modify them.

The most reasonable option is that it was a custom build and just happens to share the colors with that standard sku.

A very interesting situation arose. Perhaps if they had been in a non-standard custom color, I might have been able to figure it out myself, but it turned out to be a very amusing coincidence. I’m very grateful to you for your help and for taking the time, it was a pleasure to hear an expert’s opinion.

I’ve ordered another pair of oakley glasses and will be posting them on this forum soon. Hopefully, this time it will be possible to confirm the authenticity of the model!

Thanks to everyone who helped!

They were purchased in early 2017 at an Oakley store in SoCal. They need a rebuild but I don't know what model to order for. Numbers on the inside left temple: 009188-20 59 12 133

Were they buried in the back yard for a few years?
