We pooled the orbital geometries of A Wire and E Wire with the finesse of our OO frame. Reduced wrap-around curvature gives OO·A and OO·E a sleek plane of optics, and the classic lines are enhanced by linear earstems with temple augmentation. Lens options include three choices of Iridium for a definitve look that sets the tone.

Frame: Black Chrome
Lens: G30

Great for occasions when X-Metals or M-Frames are not appropriate. The G30 lenses work well for anything from overcast to sunny conditions, and the Black Chrome is beautiful. This color combination uses a carbon fiber temple augmentation (the little accent between the hinge and ear sock), which looks very sharp.

Oakley's first stab at the fashion market and a damn good one at that. I found the OO and OO Square to be too much lens but the A and E were excellent. I went with the round lens and only wore them with the Leather Gold lens for a short while before the became an Rx. Definitely a stylized frame, the barrels on the arms were a great touch, all the little sculpted divots and the "torpedos" on the hinge ends were cool.

I don't think Oakley did anything wrong on these and they were a great wire frame. For as thin as they look they were very strong with a great fit. Snug all the way through.

These are my RX frames for when I don't have my contacts in. They have only lasted a decade, 3 sets of earsocks and 2 RX changes. These are so comfortable and still in style, I refuse to wear any other frame. Well...maybe a pair of Why's after these finally crumble.

Not for exceptionaly sunny days as they don't give enough protection around the sides. But that can be said for all the OO range.
Pewter oo red is stunning,
Each have different coloured temple augmentations. Though this varies:
Black chrome - black carbon fibre effect,
Pewter - mottled effect,
Platinum - brown carbon fibre effect
Silver - transparent brown or green
Unobtainium has the OO logo embossed
Superb for occassions when style is required

Seeing as these are discontinued, the only place I can acquire these are ebay. Couple of years ago they would go for $20-$40. Now $70-$130. easily still worth the money, but $20-$40 was a fabulous price for such high quailty glasses.Suprising how different they look on, with the variety of frame colours and lens options.

Frame: Black Chrome
Lens: G30

Got these for not too much at the Vault. I wore them on the way home, but after that they became a collector's piece. For a model that Oakley wants to forget, it's not too bad. The earstems are interesting, but the flat lens look doesn't match up with the other models. Perhaps with the newer fashion market, these would sell better. They sure are trying to offload enough of them now.
