Are These Blends Real?

[OakleyBoss]

I'm no expert on Frogskins, but I saw these and despite several times claiming they are "authentic" and the seller having good feedback, the price seems too good to be true for a pair of Blends

So are they real?

Hmmmm.... hard to tell (as always with blends...)

I mean, I would be a bit cautious, as blends are one of the rare frogskins for which a person actually had to queue to get them. The reason I say this is that almost every seller will KNOW what they have and give it a fitting description in the 'description' part of the listing. This guy didn't even bother giving it a proper description...

The colors look right, though they don't come with a box/bag. I assume the blends came with at least a bag right?

You'd think the seller would just throw one in then .

I find that whole listing VERY strange.

Complete fake. They could never get the fade on the earstems and the nosebridge right. One day they will, but right now it's an easy fake tell.

More than that, you had to line up to get a raffle ticket since demand was so high at the party. The numbers that were pulled out won the opportunity to buy the glasses. You couldn't just line up and buy them the regular way.

Did the blends come with fire iridium or gold iridium lenses?
From the stock pics, it seems they were fire, not gold.

On that eBay listing, lenses look gold, not fire.
