BNIB Silver Mids. A very unique colour. Comfortable? Yes. Right size, well one size smaller than i wear but its not tight.

These are one of the best shoes Oakley has made. Although when first issued a bit of dud seller. Now highly sort after.

Now we just need the Mids and lows re issued by Oakley. How about it O team?

Bought these when they came out in yellow. Felt true to size for size 11. Everyone thought I was crazy for wearing shoes that looked like a bumblebee and from afar they looked slightly greenish. Either way they were good while they lasted. I tore them up after a few months. They feel apart after i scraped them on the toe and side. The stitching came undone showed wear like crazy. Would love to own a pair for display, but would never wear them again!

I've worn my odd-sized Yellow High pair (9.0L, 9.5R) casually for a few months now, and they actually fit pretty well. I normally wear size 9.5-10.0, but these fit me more than OK. Even my left foot has wriggle room still. So, apparently these early US made shoes don't run smaller as other Oakley shoes are often accused of. Man, if I had these on during my army days (and were allowed to wear them), I figure I would be running like the wind thru those obstacle courses! Ha!
Haven't had much chance to test the traction on these, though the sole threads do seem minimal. Maybe I'll test them out on the few wintry days we normally get in Dallas this winter, and see how good it holds over icy paths.
Definitely recommend the high-cut for a secure fit.

I've worn the Yellow High to work a couple of times, and basically across the board, rave reviews and comments like "what's that?". Super light, super comfortable. I feel especially blessed to have a pair to wear while keeping another on display (which aren't my size and won't be worn).

Cool as hell. ugly as crap. The sole could never provide decent traction under any circumstances, and they look like something MC Hammer would wear proudly. With that said, they are a prized part of my collection.

INCREDIBLE. Made from Carbon fiber this shoe is one of the most unique shoes I have ever seen. I purchased a size 12, with the box signed by JJ himself, but I'm a size 8.5. I would have never worn them anyway. Great looking shoe and great piece of O history.
