I recall years ago, there was supposed to be a line where jeans would be in that $500 range. I think the diesel jacket was the only thing to come off it. Never took off, but this was in the Jim days.

Agree though. I can't even afford the standard releases these days. - Dann

I think I remember hearing about those jeans. I also remember seeing some crazy ones that were released - not sure if it was win the USA or overseas - but they had some features of the AP line, the metal triangle shaped metal "loop" holes come to mind. They were either called X-Metal Denim or Salvage Denim. Tags say Salvage.

I have two pairs of these jeans :D
Got them in an Oakley Vault for 50euros at the time. Good ol' days - BiGCoB

Nice!!! That's awesome! - yelkao

I cut the metal loops out of one them, though. Shame

wait a couple years and this will be everywhere half price.
There's a sale at the moment on a french /european website with the FGL collection all halfprice.
Funny to go elitist and end up on sales websites... Actually, kind of ironic.

XX fire

- giuly

Is that an old fire ? Looks like 2010's Ruby :)

From someone that never smiles on pictures, it's good to see smiling faces :D
Nice pics everyone.

That's amazing.
I'd be scared to wear these, though.
They must be prone to cracking now, either on the sole side, or leather.

I have the sling bag. Really like it. Think of it as an update to the old Sandbag. - Defenderoftheo

My thoughts when I saw it.
Still have my original Sandbag in Red and prefer it over that version, but that update looks very nice, though.

Mine were bought from a person who used to work at Oakley Europe customer service. They'd do some nice customs with excess frames and lenses around.
They have no boxe

I have this.


Is this the XX you're looking for ?

That pair needed more love. Too bad it didn't really take off - Dann

Indeed.
The loss of the Elite Icon killed it before the actual release.
Too bad. It had significant improvement compared to OG PB. The rubber on earstems feels way better than without.

It seems you bought all models and colorways since the begining.
Quite crazy !

I would wear that :D

Seems like a one size fits all.
Wondering if my big melon head would fit :/

Something little different as we sort of accepted M-Experiment as an extension of the O.

Posing with the Business glassses, and the Holiday Gift cap.

Most hated X-Metal model, but one of my favorite to wear.
Way more comfortable than the original X-Metal with their spring hinge (Penny had it too), large coverage, and most importantly no premature degradation of the nose flex, as there's none.

Heater !

The return of the collectors spotlight !
Nice !


Congrats Trevor. Nice spotligh.

How can they make more? Didn’t they make a big deal about the mold being damaged and the 2020 release was going to be the final one ever? - OakleyGarth

They'll justify an even higher pricetag by saying they had to make another mold :D

I realized I took picture exactly 10 years ago.

Very nice. Looks a little different than the website pictures though - Dann

Always.
That seem to be a constant.
I wouldn't order anything from them before seeing real life pictures.

17$ this last Saturday... near my hometown :-)



- cmunozh

That's a steal !
Congratulations.

I went running with them and felt the stems sliding on my head.
Also, there are some sharp edges on the frame, probably where front and back molds meet.
Pretty disappointing.
Luckily, they look good. Otherwise, that would have been an immediate return.
- BiGCoB

I wrote yesterday to the shop asking for a return :-( - cmunozh

What finally changed your mind ?

A pair of Sutro S and a pair of Hydra on 2 of the main characters :)

A beauty !!!

Love it.
I've been looking for a non cammo one of this model for some time.
Still not decided on what colour to get.
