Today, I had a chance to visit an Oakley store in a mall.

They had their Oakley SI Assault Boot on display along with 2 brass shell casings (I think they were .223) -- in the store's front window no less!

In this "gun PC" world in which we live, I was very happy to see a company not afraid to associate their product with firearms!

:D :cool: :D

In my opinion, Oakley rocks !!!

[Preacherman]

Why not offer to trade them a bucket-full of spent brass for a pair of their boots? :D

Don't forget the atomic bomb stuff and skulls on their shirts.

Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Did you buy that camo shirt?

[David]

Skunk -- I wanted to see that camo shirt in person -- but is was "not in stock" !!!

But I do have a new Oakley item on my wish list -- the Oakley D1 watch -- in tactical black, of course!

:p :neener: :p

[Skunkabilly]

LOL. I'll try my local O store.

Their watches are cool but I think if I were seen with the watch, boots, glasses AND the camo shirt I'd feel like a total dork :o

(as opposed to my current status of mostly dork)

[David]

Good point, Skunk.

This is my personal Oakley theory:

"It's not the Oakley that makes the man, but the man that makes the Oakley."

;) :neener: ;)

I wear the Oakley boots on duty. Great boots, but they sure do squeak when the soles get wet. I paid retail for mine, but have since found a gov't price that I'll be paying for future pairs......

[Skunkabilly]

David, I think I found your boots.

I was at the O Store yesterday and saw a pair of urban camo SI Ninja Boots, complete with the red Poser Triangle!!! :cool:

I also saw the shirt, but it also had the poser triangle :(

[David]

Urban Camo SI Boots ?

:confused: :eek: :confused:

Sounds interesting -- except for that corny (in my opinion) "red/silver triangle" logo.

I still can't understand why the otherwise "uber tactical" Oakley would put that weird "elite special forces red triangle" on their stuff !

I'm VERY happy I was able to locate an ALL BLACK pair of the Oakley S.I. Boots -- with NO "red/silver triangle" !!!

Any photos, Skunk, of the Urban Camo model ?

Found this on their site just now.

Skunk -- thanks for that great photo!

Those Oakleys are TOTALLY AWESOOOOOOOOOOME (as long as they come WITHOUT their red/silver elite special forces triangle logo).

:what: :D :what:

[Skunkabilly]

I knew you'd like it :cool:

I think it does have the poser triangle. So did that cool camo shirt :(

[Campusninja]

The all black D1 is awsome, looks really good, however sometimes it can be hard to read at certain angles. I have a pair of the black box crater sandals that are very nice.

[Skunkabilly]

I think they really need to make their chronograph with carbon fiber. That watch is pretty sweet.

Not to mention the Half Jacket with the CF finish... :banghead: (black=booooring...)

[David]

I am also thinking about getting the Oakley D1 watch (black dial with black strap) -- thanks for your comments!

:) :cool: :)

[Skunkabilly]

You're gonna look like a total dork all Oakley'd out...I'd be too embarassed to be seen at the same mall as that O-Store. People would think you work there... :neener:

Now how sweet would this be with a CF dial and Titanium bracelet and bezel?

[David]

Carbon Fiber Dial ... SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET !!!

:what: :D :what:
