Somebody tell me the Redux is ugly!

[kmbijit]

Got my first one a couple of weeks ago and I am pretty confused on this one. The Black/Prizm Grey is boring. It looks too small on my head. The wifey thinks it looks like kiddo glasses or swimming goggles when seen upfront. Yet, it has become my go-to glasses. I find myself reaching out for the redux every time I am looking for a pair. I can't quite put a finger on exactly what tugs at my strings with this one.
Interestingly, I haven't seen much of the Redux on the WOAYWT thread with the exception of @Dullisc who frequently sports the Redux and actually looks pretty rad with them!

What do you peeps feel? I am almost on the fence about ordering a second pair, a Silver one.

@Dullisc looks good in every single frame ever created! It’s quite annoying really

Rock them man they look good. When they came out I was not too sure of the flat nose bridge but it works for me. Very comfortable and great coverage. Yeah enjoy what you like don't worry if others don't care for it.
@Inkkoonce I have tried on a few that didn't look good I just don't' have them and didn't post a pic of them. Much of the newer stuff that looks like gas station glasses look ridiculous on me. But I'm not sure of the OTT - So anyone want to front me one to try out and see how that looks and keep I'm all for lol

I guess it's that unusual aesthetic that makes it ugly and attractive at the same time. The sharp, edgy temples merging into the curvy orbitals and again contrasting with a squarish flat nose bridge.
Just wish the orbitals were a size bigger though!

 

[aeh]

I prefer the old EJ because I feel (even though they’re predominantly round) they look more aggressive.

How do they size up against the Redux? Are they larger?
