Yeah, I always buy from the official OAKLEY website , I have a pair of crankshafts coming any day now. But, I was at work and seen these for a "deal" on Mercari and bought them very quickly . Knowing they could be fake but hoping they wouldn't be. My return and refund has been approved and I am shipping them back to the clown today. There's just no point in buying from a non-oakley approved seller. Anyways, thanks guys, figured this was something good to post.Firstly, get some information on the pair you're interested in, from a reputable source. Then do some research on fakes and the 'give-aways'. ie: Juliet with solid inlet ports, the O Icon in the top of the lens, etc.
With this knowledge, you should be able to 'navigate the sometimes choppy waters 'of buying genuine products.
“CAM” is just a piece of the trademark “Multicam” that’s on anything licensed by Crye and is in the artwork, so it finds its way onto things.
Sorry, I have the boxed up and am dropping them at the post office soon. I compared them to the true ones on the oakleysi website and the coloring on the frame isn't even close. For the other friend who was talking about not having a pic of the numbers on them, I'm sorry. That should have been the first thing I posted. I remember the number on the inside of the arm was the same as the one on the box. That number DID correlate with the real MULTICAM black ones, but the colors themselves also with them saying CAM told otherwise. I'd be really surprised if Oakley let any of their sunglasses come with text like that within the camouflage. Question : on authentic Oakleys like the black multicam ones, does the camouflage print vary with each pair or are they all the exact same?
The "CAM" is part of "Multicam" which is part of the camo from Crye so yes it will be on there by chance, which also answers the pattern question. They are all different.
