What an odd hour to release these. Knowing Oakley, I would expect many online orders to be cancelled. Hopefully there is good distribution for the other channels. Good luck, all!
I had to edit the url in order for the Xeus to show up on the Norwegian website so I could order them. About an hour later they showed up on the main site for everybody. Hoping this means I was able to snag a pair and that my order won’t be cancelled.
I figure it's the edition for the athletes that's the __/20 one, but that's only a guess.
I'm expecting other very limited edition collabs of Xeus in very small quantities in the future (Kith?). We'll see. Between this and the Kato (and others), these are exciting times for the brand.
500 worldwide total. 200 of which distributed online for Oakley.com. As well, some O Stores have getting their stock in and are selling it today. I would assume other O Stores and other accounts will get theirs shortly as well.
The only thing that stops scalpers is not paying their crazy prices. Otherwise, nothing stops them for charging high prices. For the Xeus, there's 500 of these things out there. Not all that small a number for the size of the collector base. Like the Robot Store Front, HQ statue, and metalworks carbon stuff, these will be around for a bit. Perhaps you'll have to pay a bit of a premium if you miss it in stores and online, but don't overpay for these things.
