The hinges don't interlock nicely.
The Icon is wanky.
The bridge text is a bit too big and not really up to pare with Oakley
No cast on Jacket on the inside left stem.
Some legit once als are missing that as well. So not a real sign of a fake.
Usually more than one issue with fakes.

I’m still not sure if it’s fake. The lens are pretty quality from the last couples days of use. They are pretty comfortable.

The pair was purchased off Grailed. I emailed their authentication team the photos and they responded stating the item is authentic.

Kinda bummed because they look good…

I agree with @TheStig, something doesn't look right with these.

Take a picture directly at the side with the arms extended so we can see the icon. The one picture that partially shows that makes it look very weird.

Also, is the frame blue translucent metalic? The pictures make it look like that. I'm not an expert on old eye jackets but I dont remember there being that frame color.

It’s actually green… will take more photos. The frame looks identical to the eye jacket, but the logo is questionable.

There’s more red flags than the logo.

Hello Oakley addicts!

I'm new to the forum, and like you, I've been addicted to the brand for a few years, but only the models from the 90s to early 2000s.

I'm joining you today because I just bought the famous Over The Top, which is a brand new model for me and I don't know much about it.

Can you help me to authenticate this model? Is it authentic? What year is it?

Any help or indications are good to take.

Thank you!
