Oakley Juliet’s Anniversary Edition?

[Slojack]

I'm betting there are enough nosebridge, earstem(hammers) and orbitals of most XMETALS stored away in some pile of crates next to the Ark of the Covenant to do a "new" release.

But if they were then we would wait till they hit 6pm and scoop em all up!

Yup!

The vault is probably getting some of the last Juliet socks in the company. I wish they could bring back that style, and hopefully they’ll keep reviving styles with new names (Double edge is similar to the Eyepatch 1 & Crossrange Patch is the new Dispatch) but love the optimism bro!

It isn't just the Vaults. They have been available at regular O stores and oakley.com quite a bit recently.

Also check the dates on those. You’ll see it’s like a couple of weeks old.

Seriously doubt it. Earsocks melt and fall apart over time and fit multiple frames. Those were probably for O-Custom builds and displays.

The X-metal factory in Nevada was shutdown by lux several years ago bevause x metals sales and profit is much much lower, maybe the lowest of all frames. Badman & Madman was a bait & switch (garbage made in China of course) to avoid discontinuing a product line. X metals are great marketing material. But waaaaay too far off from Lux's fashion trends driven sales plan.

Unfortunately not. This rumour comes round occasionally, sometimes with real substance, sometimes not.

I wish it were true. I would buy the exact Juliet frame in any material, in any combo they decided to push out. If they made “improvements” and changed the frame, I would be less keen.

I think that boat sailed when the fauX-metals crashed. omatter xmetals? isn't that what the badman/madman are? from what I recall they break every way possible.

CF juliet would be cool but that would be juliet 2.0, one could wish.

but definitely would be awesome to come out with new rubber colors. If anyone from Oakley is reading (which they usually are) make some tribute color rubbers but mark them differently, maybe a xmetal logo, so we can distinguish from the OG and the new stuff, and release some new colors to compliment the new prizm lineup, like sandgrey, dwp blue and pink!

Seeing the latest trend in Oakley pricing, if they would make X-Metal again, I'd bet it would be 1.000 - 1.500 USD price range

FYI: Carbon Prime pricing in Japan
