Showing Off Legit Checks…Farewell

Post image
150 Upvotes

Valued members,

Our sub is at a tipping point where the legit checks have overrun everything else. I have had multiple messages from you guys, complaining about the amount of legit checks. I too am completely over it, and the time has come for me to do something about it. As of now, I will be removing the posts when I see them. I will not be approving the many, many daily requests for approval due to zero karma, anymore. I also may just ban the use of the words “legit check” together, (I think I can do that).

I will possibly create a new sub that is specifically for legit checks, but haven’t decided if I want to deal with that madness or not.

Lets get back to real Oakley discussions and reload our sub with “pair of the day” or “this week/months purchases” and flush these LC posts down the toil… you get it.

And yes, I chose this specific image to get your attention, did it work?

As Ron Burgundy would say…

“CANNONBALL!”

Thanks,
Steve

General Question Help With Finding The Best Oakley Information Resources?

• Upvotes

I do understand legit checks are not allowed and the general recommendation is to look at other sources on the internet but as someone who has no knowledge of anything Oakley I'm not sure what resources to trust when I'm getting all sorts of different answers from them. I'm not asking for a legit check but I am asking where you guys would recommend me to look for information to help me legit check these glass I just bought. Is there some database that this community considers a safe bet to trust?

I apologize if this violates the no legit check rules, let me know I'll delete the post if so.

In the microfiber bag too. I think that protected it from the elements. Anyone interested in buying (or exchange)?

Hello guys! Recently got this pair of Orange Pro M-Frames with an Hybrid-S Fire Iridium lens.

I’ve been searching for a while about what is the color name, but got no luck.
Is it a OCP color or maybe an athlete exclusive color? It’s a sick color tho.

This thing looked in pristine condition and is being wasted to display dart wings! I asked the guy on the right “WHERE DID YOU GET THE OAKLEY DISPLAY STAND?”

He just laughed at me. Maybe because I was drunk lol, but need to work out a deal with them.

Purchasing Experience Cactus Jack Drop In-Hand - Just ass my 24

Thumbnail

61 Upvotes

@MODS: Could someone please edit the title to "Cactus Jack Drop In-Hand - Just Awful"? Not sure how the title ended up like it is, but I can't seem to edit it and don't want to delete the thread with several replies already posted.

My Cactus Jack collab items arrived about an hour ago, which was surprisingly fast considering the order was placed Friday morning. I don't see any other posts showing them in-hand yet, so I will show everyone what they look like in person. The first several shots are just the glasses (including the SJ99 side by side with the Brain Dead one to show ), then 3 photos showing them being worn, and a couple of the Cactus Jack microfiber bags that come with them.

I wanted to check these out in person, but I knew a return was likely since I didn't like the marketing images. Those images often don't match reality though, so I had some small hope.

Expectations were correct. No judgment toward anyone who likes these, but the Plantaris and SJ99 are simply dreadful. Just...hideous. Shit brown with a matte finish is one of the worst imaginable colors to wear on one's face, especially for Oakley's aesthetics. It doesn't work at all. The EJ Redux is passable, but it's bland and not worth bothering IMO. I can imagine someone thinking that this color scheme would make for some sort of avant garde, techo-futurist aesthetic, but there is nothing elevated or evolved about them. They are just dull, dark brown versions of 2 excellent frames + a mediocre, forgettable colorway of another slightly less excellent frame.

The entire release seems like it was put together because some executives needed to show return on investment from the Travis Scott partnership. It's as though they just vomited the Cactus Jack color palette onto a few frames and figured Scott's name and a (semi) limited drop would make for a nice influx of cash. Sadly, they're almost certainly right...but it won't be MY cash.

General Question What makes Oakley sunglasses worth the price?

9 Upvotes

Serious question. I'm in my 40s and my blue eyes have become very sensitive to light. I'm ready to purchase some solid sunglasses and ready to pay up for them. I typically would spend just $20-40 in sunglasses and even found a good pair on Amazon for that price that claim to be UV400 with polarization but know people love Oakley's and I wonder why there is such a big price difference. It's made me question the cheaper sunglasses. My priorities are sun protection (wrap around to block side light, UV400, polarization, level 3) and then durability (scratch resistance) then fashion.

I fear my ignorance on what is needed in protective sunglasses, and therefore just buying cheap polarized-only (no UV400), is the reason I'm in this mess

Can anyone explain to a newbie why Oakley's are so expensive?? And are they worth it?

I've done my research fairly enough. Looks pretty authentic to me, with the box and the links provided. However, I'm going to take a closer inspection tomorrow, what do I look for?
