I saw Michael Jordan limited edition Romeos mentioned in another thread. Were these available to the public? I don't remember ever seeing them in person. How are they different from the 3 colorways in the catalogue?

they look the same as xmetal/black iridium but the serial was under 5000 and had red unob. socks and temples

Yes, they were the first 5000 of the x-metal version and had red earsocks.

Ken beat me to it.

No signature?

Nope.

Maybe I told this before, but I remember visiting a SGH in 1997. The idea of $425 (CAD) sunglasses was so outrageous they took a picture of the guy who bought their only pair and had it displayed. He was wearing the most ragged t-shirt; I guess not buying clothes was how he could afford them.

by the way, the MJ LE's had red Earsocks only, just plain old black temple shox

and i desperately want a set!

pity :P

im sure oakley will create a athlete series - justin gandy edition if u can slam dunk and score for the chicago bulls ;)

Since The Last Dance is on Netflix...

Joe Stephenson is selling a pair on the Oakley Forum X-Metal Exchange. Serial 2978.
