This also makes me think they are fake. Same SKU, Asian fit, polished frame, iridum lenses.

Does anyone know if those are original Oakley product photos from 2014 or composite shots of the fakes?

Interesting, WTF!?

@Jace Same packaging as original

Yeah dodgy as f*ck isn't it? However, I bought mine from an online Oakley dealer with legit stock and good reputation. But I have never had or heard of anyones lenses being so loose in the frame. Maybe he bought damaged stock and thought he could get away with replacing the lenses with a cheap set. Maybe he got ripped off by his supplier but he's adamant that they are legit. Just want to know if the printed text on the right arm is legit back in 2014 instead of the usual embossed on the left. If so I'll try and get a partial refund at least for the fake lenses. Let's see......

Stock photos from Oakley vs Replica Oakley

I don't think real ones have "oakley" on the ear socks. NM, I'm seeing that both ways. But I think the printed "CHAINLINK" is the biggest red flag.

This is from the replica website:

10/4.

A common scam is to order real products (Oakleys in this case for example), keep them, and return fakes for a refund. It's possible the dealer you got them from is legit and he got scammed at some point which led to you getting the fakes.

It's also possible an authorized dealer is selling reals and fakes, shysters at every level.

Did you know you were getting Asia Fit?

I think you got fakes personally.

They weren't advertised as Asia Fit so I could just send them back and claim on that alone. But I had 2 pairs of Elite Polarized Chainlink lenses (instead of Straightlink) sent to me by mistake from Revant. They told me to keep them and they kindly resent the correct order, you know, proper customer service lol. So I have been on the hunt for a pair of Chainlinks so I can use the freebie lenses anyway and add to my collection.

I just found these from a legit website though with the printed text.
