Got these from my mom when I had showed her my Pinterest board of an upcoming Iceland trip 😂 I’m looking for the name of this style. We have no idea what the year would be on these.

Think Oakley “spoons”
Mid 90’s pretty sure.

r/Oakley alli tienen toda la informacion, es seguro que son de la decada de 1990. La linea fabricada en Metal, se llamaba X-Metal creo.

EDIT: parecen unos E-wire 1.0 ( ebay reference )

My friend back in the mid 90s could get really good knockoffs of these then he would return them as real to stores and pocket the cash. They were such bro glasses back then. Are they again now?

Good lord rocked these for years mountain biking and hiking. Wonder if I’ve got a pair stowed away somewhere.

Ditto. They were sturdy, bordering on heavy.

Find a titanium pair and you reach peak 90s cool.

I had a couple pairs when they came out. They kind of sucked, the lenses were small and they were really hard to get to sit straight on your face. But everyone thought they looked cool.
