Hey guys, I've never been a collector of Oakleys, just a huge fan. Not only for their glasses, but their brand, entirely.
That said, when it comes to their glasses, I usually only buy one pair annually (although since finding this site on the 27th trying to find info on the goldbrooks, I've bought 4 new glasses lol). The Shaun White series might change my ways though since I have a mancrush on him lol. In all honesty though, I only like the holbrooks and the frogs. I love the style of the dispatch, but I'm not crazy about Shaun's. I just bought the Wilson dispatch, so I'd probably never reach for Shaun's over his. Then, I like the front view of the eyepatch 2, but the stems are to big for my liking and I really don't like the stems on the plaintiffs, plus they just aren't my style.
So, that breaks it down to me really only liking 6 of the 9 in his series and for someone that's never been a collector, it's hard for me to wrap my head around owning glasses I wouldn't wear. BUT, since I like Oakley and White so much, if this is a worthwhile series to collect, I think I'd be down to get them all. I know these aren't going to be a rare, oh-my-god-you-have-those, collection, but I'm asking you experts here if it's a worthwhile collection.
I already own the SGH exclusives and I'm getting the frogs (24K) in the mail this week. I plan on getting the goldbrooks and I almost got the white holbrooks over the clear, bc I did like them more, but I already own some white gascans, plus I've never owned any clear Oakleys, so I wanted a pair, but I'm definitely going to get the white ones, eventually.
Thanks ahead of time for the advice.
