I agree with you; they could offer a smaller quantity, but at least give people a chance to try and buy! Instead, you have people only thinking about profit—they buy them up just to resell them later at 5x the price to those who actually like the items. thats sad - GaleriaOGalleria
Just double checked o.com and yeah, the Matte Clear is not on the site. Was hoping that maybe they'd put them up anyway. Oh, well. Congrats to everyone that landed the pair that they wanted.

its okay, i didnt think the matte clear was very great, wish they did a better lens - aragonelkins
Agreed with the lens. Love the clear frame but wish the lens was different. I still would like the opportunity to be able to get a pair. There are no stores nowhere near me. So the chance to get a pair is pretty much out of the question.
Ugh - MicahS
Yeah

“Prototype (Matte Clear with Prizm™ Grey lenses) will be available across selected Oakley flagship stores, while Blood Skull with Prizm™ Black lenses, and Matte Rootbeer with Prizm™ Tungsten lenses will both be available at selected Oakley stores and Oakley.com”
Well I guess I won’t be getting the Matte Clear. I heard the HQ store has the Matte Clear but they don’t ship.

2 Jackets and 2 Coats
- MicahS
I'm loving Suture Coat and Cage Jacket. I like Suture Jacket as well but not sure I like them as much as the other two - I do really like the semi-rimless frame.
Suture Coat is bigger than Suture Jacket from your observation - it's for larger heads. So the first two people in the first two photos must have large/larger heads because Suture Coat doesn't look that big IMO on them. In the fourth photo Suture Jacket looks big on that person but it looks GINORMOUS on the person in the third photo. So he must have a small head.
From the photos at first glance Suture Coat actually seems smaller than Suture Jacket.

I'm liking these recent sport models. - Dann
Agreed!
I'd love to see a comparison between the Suture Jacket and the Suture Coat. Maybe put Cage Jacket in there to. I really like that frame as well.

Unfortunately no clear frame. The clear frames seem to be reserved for prototypes these days. You can buy one at HQ as a MUZM piece - but there are only a few offered usually and they're typically hundreds of dollars. So we might not get a clear frame - maybe a matte clear. But clear or polished clear might not happen. Selling the clear prototypes has to lessen if not removes the chance of it being released to the public. Even in the custom program. Can you imagine paying $600 for a clear prototype then O releases a clear frame - even if it has a different lens - for $325. People would probably be ticked off. Yeah having the prototype would be cool but from what I've seen of them they're not different at all from the general release version. At least not the ones I've seen recently. Not even sure they say prototype on them - but I could be wrong.
Does anyone know how long they've been producing prototypes with clear frames? I don't have an issue with that. But I don't like that they are selling them. I love clear frames and like I said selling them probably eliminates the chance of a GR clear frame releasing. Matte clear is all we could hope for - I'll take it but I do like clear/polished clear to. Did I say that already?! LOL
I love clear frames!!!!!

I don’t really know. It could be Bazooka.

Ignition I think is the name of the new pair

Bazooka was Jim's wild cat, right? - Dann
Yes, just saw Jammin at a M event and he was explaining the Bazooka story.
- rhlake
Can you expand on that? Did he say what the name of the new frame he was wearing is?

Any idea what the possible 2 new models maybe like? More shields or more dual lens? I was hoping they'd release some more gear. - yelkao
Solely based on patent names
MEGAWATT MIN — filed January 15, 2026
MEGAWATT MID — filed May 15, 2026
BAZOOKA — filed May 21, 2026
MAGMA — filed August 26, 2026 - mlmguitar50
So another version of the Megawatt - a "smaller" version by the name - if released.
Megawatt Mid dropped today.
Bazooka - I think someone mentioned that name to me before. That sounds like it would be BIG. But maybe it's not eyewear.
Magma - sounds interesting. Eyewear? Maybe not?

Megawatt Mid coming to compete with the Sutro Lite! I like the Fuel colorway but holding onto my funds a bit longer as there’s possible speak of 2 more new models coming down the pipeline! - mlmguitar50

What DBN says is correct. Leases came up, Landlords wanted more money + losses from theft and decline in foot traffic made it not worth the expense so leases weren't renewed. Money was reinvested into other locations. - Defenderoftheo
I wonder why there was a decline in foot traffic though?

Just checked Oakley website.
There's one Oakley store in a mall in lower Manhattan.
So, 5th avenue and TS are closed :( - BiGCoB
Doesn't make sense to me. Sales were bad?

This is really cool!! Those guys didn't mess around when it came to the store concepts. I didn't know about this real angel or the squid, only the clothing!! I saw the angel installation on the forum and then another brand together in the same store a while later, so much history and the beginning of a change!! Thanks for bringing up this topic sakio, and thanks for the photos and more info Dan really cool!! - lucasamorim
Yeah, there was a lot of effort put into the O-Stores in the beginning. Made for quite the first impression/experience. No problem Lucas! I like to contribute when I can, if I can.
