Questions For Jim Jannard!

[Mountain King]

Hi Jim, quick question about the Pit Boss, more really about the Elite Icon. The story of how if came about, who designed it. I read in your previous comment that you have a prototype with a "squished" O, I'm curious to see how that looks like or what the "squishe" O is. Thanks for your time.

Hi Jim, Long time Oakley collector here in the philippines & proud owner of this bad boy below:

One question though, how come the Juliet 2.0 never got into production?

I one saw a sample prototype (sketches, render etc) of from a project presentation (PPT) ages ago. The specific juliet 2.0 kinda looks like a TI version of Oakley Plate if i can recall.

Appreciate the response & TIA!

Jim follow on this question...

That is Purge, its the runoff that is created when they make Oakley Plutonite lenses.

Jim,

You had mentioned the possibility of Red expanding.

Have you thought about a commercial "action sports" camera- something along the lines of a GoPro?

This would be to cool.

This would be to cool.

dude, how cool would it be if the body was all knurled and black anodized like the epic and scarlett cams? and with the lens having the blade logo around it since it would be the perfect compliment!!! I would buy them in a HURRY!!!

Hi Jim, super cool that the "CREATOR" is here ;-)
I have a BOB head (see my avatar) that does NOT have the Oakley logo on it. All of the BOB's I have seen always have the logos in front. The guy I bought it from tells me that it was an early model and that he received it from you. Any truth to that?

 

[Batwolf]

I've only seen the replicas without logos.

Mr JJ...

I have wondered on occasion, was there ever an idea you had that you just could not figure out how to produce or bring to market for one reason or another? Sort of a White Whale type idea that you tought of many times, but it just never materialized... If there was, a brief explanation of why it didnt happen would be interesting as well...
