Oakley Splice Overview
I have always been a fan of the Splice, felt it was time to give it a small review and provide some images of the pairs I own. The frame is light weight, comfortable, and undeniably "Old School Oakley" with the design. Not over the top (no pun intended) crazy, but enough to stand out from your average pair of Raybans or whatever else was popular at the time.
Wanted to give my favorite frame some love, so I thought it'd be fun for fans of the Splice sunglasses to gather and post up pics of their pieces.
I'll start with my collection.

Oakley said:A new way to splice our genetic code, it combines separate sculptural forms of lightweight O Matter® into a single unified geometry. Our 4-D design language utilizes Metal Injection Molding (MIM) to anchor the stress resistant frame material, achieving a yield strength of 29,000 psi. With the unbeatable clarity of XYZ Optics® , the full-time comfort of Unobtainium® earsocks and the accent of true metal icons, it crosses the line between science and art. Prescription ready.
