I'd be shocked if there are only 55 available for sale. There's gotta be an asterisk and disclaimer on that number. While Oakley is an NFL partner, I'm sure the license isn't cheap.
I added one to my cart this morning & selected quantity ... there were 17 available for purchase. An hour later, 16. Two hours later, 25. Yeah not very limited edition. “With only 55 available to MVP’s”. I’m gonna read into that & say it’s a 55 pre release with more on the way.
That's probably the best way to read it. There's zero chance a partnership this big and strategic would result in a miniscule number of units being released.
I will bet that they will release more of the Super Bowl Kato. If Oakley doesn't specifically say that the glasses are individually numbered or have some sort of documentation that they are "limited" then you can be certain they are not. I learned that lesson with the MVP Jawbreaker... 150 available according to the email I buy one and then a week or so later they are back on the site again as a general release. Very misleading and don't fall for it!
Yes, I heard the same thing from a couple internal sources as the FB guys did. It's suppose to be a "Factory Pilot" logo, but I heard 20,000 units rather than 2,000. We'll see.
