Hi... I'm Nik. I used to be an Oakley addict.

Well said Oak! As always.

I don't use them but still covet my Tribal Thumps.

That's a horrible replicate. Don't waste your money. You'll never get it back.

I'm torn here fellas.

I like the look of the Madman. It's closest to something unique they have gotten to in years. The Badman is just another damn wire. All that aside.... Someone please explain to me how in the Funk this is an X-Metal?

Don't get me wrong - gonna be outside the store on Saturday to get a Madman... But still, X-Metal?

Without this site - and your continued friendship, I would certainly not be where I am with my collection....

Rick has an X-Metal collection that rivals no other... Combine his collection with his amazing social presence and wit and he is a tru O-Review must have... I would kill for his photography skills...

Great Spotlight Paul! Oogie is well known through out the O land in Seattle!

I have the red and yellow - but that black/yellow is awesome! Sweet collection. Even as cool as they look - they are super f*ckin comfortable.

Habenero's are awesome. Pretty sure I have close to at least 50 pair and pretty much wear them exclusively unless I have to go to a business meeting or funeral.

I have every color of the original SI's and they wear like iron but squeak like a bitch when wet in the Wal-Mart. My Daily wear is the paintball worn pair we all got from "THE TRIP".

Yep. I have a rider for 50K on my collection.

All I had to do was fill out a coupon in-store with my name and email addy and they just gave me one.

Tortoise is up there with grey and bronze lenses in my book of least favorite Oakley things

Agreed.

I hope not. Don't want that plastic crap on my X-Metals. I'd rather see better/improved/new design on them considering the metal will be made in friggin' China.

When asked from us "What has been your biggest inspiration?"

"Beer" was the reply.

Well you are missing out because they are pretty damn cool! ;p

Pretty sure that is what the 24K was. Jules and X-squared.

Welcome. Comng here from there is like trading in a Pinto for a Bentley. Very cool and very expensive.

The review I read on CNN said it was kind of campy with a high humour level as opposed to the "dark" of the Batman series. Betting it'll be ok. If they have seen the Ironman movies - guessing this would be fun for them.

Circa Robocop - can't sell the toys to kids when the movie is too violent for them.

Deviation is pretty damn sweet. Check it out if you get a chance.

WTF Oakley?

Looking good Mike! Dig the custom JB's!

That is b'dass! Well done sir.

Envy indeed. That is awesome! I too - would like to see some pics of it being worn!

Mine has held whiskey in an excellent fashion so far.
