in more than one way.. generous to a fault and the man who founded one of the best companies of the 20th - 21st century!

now when do we fight for the shoes?!?!... ive got me switchblade and cutlass all ready! :D

Justin-

Brining knifes to a gun fight eh....

Yeh, Jim and Dann are cool.

well i am part italian.... :D

Dann, you really deserve the price!
I think your hair should evolve (naturally!) and get another color just because of you beeing happy - I think a red tone would look awesome.

And - please don't be hectic with finding a contest, I'm going to be on holiday (snowboarding *jippieh!) until next sunday.... 8).

So, have a nice week mates!

Very nice of you Jim, actually yesterday, I was just thinking about how cool something like that happening would be !

Dann deserves it 100% and he knows that we love the site and how much we appreciate it, and yet he has always been modest about it, kind of brushing it aside.

Jim started Oakley but its Dann for me that fueled my interest a thousand fold.

*smiles pleased*

That's very awesome of you Jim.

Congrats Dann! I want to see pics!

Killer!

good deal!

very nice move from you jim!
you deserve it dann!!

Thanks all. I've probably put in about 20 hours in the past 7 days alone just entering SKU's. There's about 500 new ones in the database. Mostly old glasses. I have SKU's for Eyeshades, Blade, Classic Frogskins and most of the Sub Zero and Zero's. Check it out.

That's just why you should get those shoes!

Holy crap!You truly deserve the gift from the man.

It is nice getting the props deserved from the man who created it all!!! Dann, you have hands down made everbody here happier in the fact that without your hard efforts, none of us would be so lucky to have Jim communicating with us on such a personal level!!!! My hat is off to you, and will remain that way! Thanks for everything you have brought to us and continue to bring!!!

So cool, I couldn't agree more.
An awesome offer by Jim, awesome work by Dann, so much passion all around.

It's so good to be here on the OR.

Dann, well done, your efforts have been truly outstanding!!

Congratulations Dann, you truly deserve special recognition for all your efforts. That's a wonderful gesture Jim, your generosity is inspiring.

Nice work on the SKU's and congrats on the shoes! You're the man, Jim.

Definetly Dann

Totally agree, very nice of you Jim ! You deserve it all Dann !

Very interesting point brought up. Dann is so very deserving of something like this. Not just some free shoe one's, but just the fact they come directly from the generosity of Jim.

Because, really, it is because of this site that my Oakley madness has elevated to new heights (like so many of us here). While I've been dedicated to the Oakley brand for the past 15 years (thanks Jim!), it's really been the past year plus in finding this site that my love for the Oakley brand has exploded. Just look at our collections. For myself, I had just about 40 pairs when I came across this site (best Google search ever!) ... now I find myself with 85 pairs in just the past 15 months.

Has anyone mentioned just how exciting this all is?

Jim being more active in Oakley would surely bring more EDGE to the brank,like it used to be; the skulls logo, the OTT line, the great color combos...

Dann where would I (we) be without you?... we'd have money maybe... but not happiness... i never would have become an okaley fanatic to the extent that i am now if it werent for you and all of the hard work and dedication that you have put into this site... a heartfelt congratulations from me and darren (who cant get on right now but almost crapped his pants when i told him who stopped by

P.S. Fiddler on the roof was a hit!

oh yes !! this is only logical, dann you deserve it entirely

and now ; bring on the contest !!!!!

i want one pair too
