Oakley Board Member Micahel Jordan needed eyewear for times of subtler sophistication. We went to work with lightweight c-5 alloy and a refined architecture that offers tortoise shell, carbon fiber or amber augmentation to sleek, linear earstems. Available in two lens configurations and several hue combinations, the Oakley OO is casual elegance that defies categorization.

I like these as my "classy" Oakleys. Very subtle in style compared to most models, these look good with more dressy clothes. The lenses are small, so they don't provide teh wraparound coverage of something like a Juliet. I particularly liked the carbon fiber accent on these frames. Overall, they work well. My primary complaint would be that the earstems are a touch short for my head, so they don't quite have the grip that some other models do and can fall off easier. But, these are not designed for sporty activities, so I can forgive that.

I remember when these suckers first came out in the late 90's. I wanted a pair at that time since most of my Oakleys at that time were "over the top" color combos. I finally got my hands on a brand new pair and I can't say enough good things about it. It is unique in that it doesn't adhere to the Oakley "shock and awe" approach as demonstrated in many models. It is subtle, classy, and studious. The workmanship is top notch and they are helped further by the fact that Michael Jordan was the inspiration behind them. AFAIK, MJ was a board member at the time and complained that he had no Oakleys that went well with a suit. Voila! The OO is born. Now discontinued, a spot in the Oakley Hall of Fame should be reserved for this pair.

Nice, classy design, with interesting touches like carbon fiber or tortoise accents on the tube-like sculpted ear stems. Another nice touch is where the end of the ear stems blends in with the hinge and ends in a torpedo-like projection on the frames. Really nice design! The OO Square lenses are big enough for larger faces, and the square looks better on me than the OO ovals. The OOE and the OOA were way too small for me. My first pair was a Black Powder RX frame (had removable clear lenses with the RX logo printed on one of them) and I had my prescription put in. They look stylin' yet understated as eyeglasses, and unique enough to be Oakley's. My second pair is the Gold Oxide/Leather Gold Iridium combo, but had the lenses swapped with the Black Powder ones since I wanted the tortoise accent with the RX clear lenses. The Leather Gold Iridium lenses are great; dark enough for sunny days but provides excellent detail and contrast... great for driving.

I don't know if this is a common problem with other OO frames, but my Black Powder frame (which did see a lot of use though) is disintegrating at a rapid rate. the finish is rubbing off the frames, leaving a rough, textured unfinished metal on the ear stems on the frames. It becomes painful when hair gets caught on this unfinished part. My old pair of E Wires (older than the OO Square) still looks brand new, while the OO Square Black Powder are definitely showing its age.

Great glasses, very comfortable, and more classy than any other style they had.
Best thing is the limited production, you don't see too many people walking around with them. I've never met anyone else with the same pair.
Just another great Oakley product.

Love the classic style of this model. seems timeless and would never go out of style. not too many people in the Philippines are aware that his "Airness" has his own line of Oakleys and many of them are amazed once they get to know it. I'm thankful I got these and they're one of my longest lasting pair of Oakleys I have. Peace out.
