Over the top - edition?

Not sure. How do the foams look?

Certainly not like that on anything I have seen.
Google the OTT and see the pics of the OEM pads.
Looks like maybe someone tried to add extra padding.... "Ace is the Place"

A lot of people claim a lot of things about everything in this hobby. Most have become desensitized to the claims unless there’s something factual to back it up.

There are product protos that look like that where stuff is taped-on, colors are off etc. I just saw a pair of experimental goggles (again) that have a power pack and fan built in and you could see the wires, etc. but they are not general release- or have SKUs created.

That’s exactly my point! I feel these could possibly be

Oh ok I was gonna say so the strips are added on and he is saying the colored dots came factory. again doubt it- but maybe the FX company put tracker dots on for movie props?

Said he was sponsored by Oakley and the list goes on lol. Wild claims , if true , pretty cool story

Most Oakley stories from that time were pretty wild- on par with the brand. very consistent though so you can see through a lot of the fakers. Possible that it was a gag -

here's my take: Most "limited edition" were just basically customs for events- AMG SL55 launch had oakley create 55 serialized Juliets to go with the first 55 cars. "the last run"- TB2s were from Corporate pulling all the watches in from the stores as they closed the watch division and put them in a box with a plaque. - same with the 51 Juliet+TB2 combo. some of these releases were official and they had SKUs created some were not.

IF the event had any significance and became lore/legend they become valuable.

I have a few items that are a little bit of both - a one-off Ichiro colorway - one of the first 100 Romeos, -on the other end- a pair of perfect TI-gold Romeos that were handed to a drummer as a perk for playing a gig at Oakley HQ from JJ himself. Had the drummer been as popular as Ichiro was to baseball- I would have made out!

are these legit even with the stuff added?
