So I am relying without taking the time to read anything but as a VIP dealer here is what I found out today. I have been selected to carry this line. It will be a limited public run and only selected locations and some Vault stores will carry it. I have to order a complete set of 5, the set is predetermined by Oakley. My trip has informed me no reps have samples or photos. Oakley is keeping it so locked up until the day of the Olympics. Any stores that receive product before the Olympics are asked not to display or take photos of the merchandise until after the opening ceremonies. He did have a couple rough renderings however and I am told all Olympic Oakleys will follow with the green theme. I highly doubt the first couple images with the blue are real because the Holbrook or Sliver, Mainlink, etc was not even an option for me to purchase. I ordered two complete sets and have time to order more. I may be keeping an entire 5 piece unopened set for myself.

This picture was pretty much exactly what I saw today.
