Oakley Eye Jacket Redux and the “Fast Shades” Trend

Hush

I will. But it is still very ugly.

The more I look at them the more I want to try one one and see how it looks.
I'm not a huge fan of the O logo on the earstem but hoping a store gets it here so i can take a look at it in person.

Holy ****- real pictures they look twice as bad as the stock pictures. Unreal.

 

[Dullisc]

Interested to try them

It must be atrocious for real, then.

In all honesty I don't think they look all that bad. I've seen a lot lot worse lately.. The Square nose bridge is a little off putting it's not an organic flow as we've seen in the other Eye Jackets. But in no means is it just horrible. It's a more industrial look which seems to be the way they are going with things now. I'm curious to see and hold them in person.

Well, at least it doesn't appear that the ear stem will break where it and the stem sleeve meet. That's what happened to the original Fingerprint frame pair I had. But perhaps my head was too big for them

Those were also made of an older, inferior o-matter at the time. Oakley dramatically improved it shortly after because of frames, across many models, breaking

That was probably one of my first pairs of Oakley's. I was saddened that day, those many years ago, and called into question Oakley's quality and whether they were worth spending $120 (estimating) on. I'm glad my frustration was justified. However, even broken and with a suspected counterfeit replacement ear stem (which I fully disclosed), I was still able to sell them five years ago or so to a buyer in Japan.
