I went into the new Oakley store on Robson street last week (this was not out of choice, it was part of a project I am doing) and was very impressed with their custom eyewear line. I wouldn’t normally set foot into an Oakley store unless I was in the market for snowboarding goggles, although they do other stuff too, like ski apparel and watches.
The new store on Robson street has this line of custom eyewear, where you can choose the frames and the lens colour and they’ll have them ready for you same day. (Bad news, if you want prescription lenses, they can’t do that same day…)
At first I though the only person who can get away with these is the Australian guy with perma tan, bleached blond hair, and who wears board shorts year round, no matter what the weather. But then I tried a pair on, and thought these could be very fun with slicked hair and a worn with lots of black.
Maybe I am getting a bit obsessive over eyewear at the moment, but I am still really loving these crazy things.
