so what do you think they are bro?

Well that is not so cut and dry for me as it might be for others. At first glance I might say that for an X-metal to be an X-metal it has to be Ti. But then on second glance, I might say, an X-metal is the most cutting edge technology molded into a specific styling... But I am afraid to say oakley is sure looking at them as X-metals

So sad that Italians bought oakley!

Anything wrong with Italians ?

Maybe you can just say/write you don't like how Luxottica is managing the brand and/or what they are releasing...

Its hard to say anything bad about Luxottica cause they're managing the brand so well. The expansion of o-stores, vaults, and the pivot from a niche market into a wide spread sports market has been highly successful. Its hard to argue about financials when they are kicking a$$ and taking names in net income on the balance sheet
