Oakley is so 1994
And yet what is everyone buying their junior high kids now? What are half the LSU players wearing?

You really are stuck in the past, like when the Trailblazers were relevant.

I bought an expensive pair when I was working at Genesis (Caplan's) in the 1990s at the Alexandria mall.
I rarely wore them. I was always "waiting for the right moment."
Ended up breaking them or losing them. I lost my cheap pair I have been using. Can't even afford to replace that 10–12-dollar pair at the moment.

I had a pair of E-Wires and a pair of Juliets that I wish I still had.
I tried on a couple of pairs of Oakleys not long ago, and they’re all so narrow that I can’t wear them. I prefer a metal frame, so the options are pretty limited with Oakley.

Last pair of overpriced Oakely shite I bought was 1994 ish. I think I made $6 an hour, and thought a $90 pair of shades was worth it. Obviously, we didn't have Chinese polarized glasses available for $22 like we do now.
But we still have the Maui Jim adherents, just like Speed Queen, and every other social media fad men fall for.

I am pretty sure the ones I bought were yellow and black and were over 100 bucks. This was in 1991.

Frogskins I'm assuming? It's a great example of when Pell Loans were $5k a semester, this is what we spent our money on. But still less than kids spend on DoorDash in a month.

I don't know what kind they were. I looked up Frogskins. To me, they look more like the one's baseball players wear, if that makes sense.
I thought they looked a lot cooler in the display case than when I put them on.
I got issues, and I had even more then when I was a young man.

Yeah, those were probably Heaters or some of the shite I thought was ridiculous when I was 17, and is now all the style of every junior high shithead with a sliding glove that gets on base every third game.
Frogskins were "lifestyle" whereas the Heaters were an indication you were serious about sports.

I mean I guess the answer is yes but they all look so ridiculous. Browsing their catalog and there’s not a single one that doesn’t scream massive douche.
Something a poor would say, IMO

If they sell them, someone is buying them

I used to every day, now they are relegated for yard work. I sport my MJ’s as every day.
Not to hijack this thread, but I guess the same could be asked of Costa. I rarely see anyone wearing those anymore…

I’ve had the same pair of Oakley GasCans for years and love them. Not sure what all the hate is about

I have a prescription pair because they were the only pair of sunglasses at my eye doctor's that I liked.
