Everything Old Is New Again. Oakley Brings Back Razor Blades, and Eyeshades

3/4/2014

 
Every 20-30 years history repeats itself. Conflict in the Middle East, the USA and Russia have a Cold War, and fashion fads come back from the dead. Last year it was the rebirth of neon, now it is Oakley's Heritage Collection. They're so bad, they're good. That's the only way to describe the single lens, goggle style glasses from the 80's. Wear these sunglasses after your're done shredding on your 1985 Tom Curren Black Beauty board, and you'll feel like you took a time machine back to the golden era of surfing. Or if you're a complete Oakley freak and never lose your glasses (like myself), you can just rock the same Razor Blades you bought 25 years ago...
