Nothing too exciting for me from OP since being acquired by Oakley, but they're re-releasing one of their most well-known sunglasses from Fight Club:

The originals are probably one of the most collectible glasses in the last decade and they're commanding crazy prices, so it's good their re-releasing these.

Wow, how dare they presume that their glasses trump the leather mars dominance in Fight Club!

Agreed. The Mars is far superior.

I hate to say it but my OP Farrell's are one of my favorite pairs.

So is it okay for us to get a pair of OP's since they were bought by Oakley?

OP has always been great brand. Great styles offered. They should be bought whether you're a big fan of Oakley or not.

Imo in Fight Club, the Mars is the king of the accesoires! I also think that it suits Pit much better and it is just one of the craziest/best/most uncommon designs oakley has ever put out.

But I really like the design of the OP sunglasses for women, when it comes to these oversized sunglasses they're the design-leaders!

Anyone notice Oakley's Revo Relaunch? Pretty interesting...the Oakley design influence is definitely there. Subtle, but evident.

Yeah, the plastic frames look a lot like Eyepatches. The metals looked like Maui Jims. There were a lot of interesting things revealed in today's presentation, including a Carbon Fiber frame by Ray-ban. Too bad nothing was mentioned about the Elites.

I knew they were coming, as are the Arnette's. I'll have to take a look around.

Oliver Peoples is my favorite eyewear brand, slightly edging out Dita and Barton Perreira. (If you haven't looked at Dita's Grandmaster-2 or BP's Vanquest, you are doing yourself a disservice.) And I was one of the lucky ones to snag a silver/blood red OP-523. Should be in sometime next week. (Yes, as I've mentioned before, it's my favorite sunglass of all time. I am so excited.)

Yeah, but BP and Dita are interesting. Not my thing, but I'm sure a lot of people like them.

Congrats on the 523s. They're certainly a candidate for the eyewear "hall of fame".
