yeah Josh i get what you mean....
I too have seen the Variations in the OO blue ichiro lenses...1 being more purple in the center and more reflective and the other being less reflective and less purple and more greenish in the center...

Why be surprised by the OO blue variations when you think of the wide range of variation in the fire and ruby lens coloration. The only significant variation of the ichiro blue lenses I've been impressed with is the slant/square font on the laser etching.

Yeah Paul ...that is indeed something interesting...but being a mere mortal, i have yet to witness the difference for myself in real life. only relying on pictures from our fellow members....

which i must say O-review is such a good place to read and chat about Oakley.....

Kudos to Dann and his team....cheers
