Finally saw a pair of Baxter’s the other day & was rapidly disappointed in them as soon as I touched them. The frames plastic feels like a cheap automotive dash & creaks like mad. The overall shape of the brow seems off too . Too straight , no thought put into it. It definitely wasn’t of Oakley that’s for sure. - ooSnip3r

UGH, that's disappointing to hear. That being said - the clothes pin-esque ear stem or not I was looking forward to the BXTR Metal.

The creaky thing is for real. Mine make all kinds of noise...lol.

I agree with the brow being almost to flat. I find my forehead touches the center of my lens alot.

The Baxter metal only grabbed my attention because of the Factory Pilot text added to the model. Not sure why you can't have the Factory Pilot in the standard version. Not that it would actually make a difference for my anymore, that plastic is horrid.

Custom has a stretch logo on the lens. Many lens variations

Anyone have any info on this set?

I love those box sets they do sometimes. Haven't seen this one before though. Almost looks like one of those models were they provide the raw plastic mold, and you twists off the pieces and build the rest.

I also heard that it may have been a friends and family set for athletes. Both normal stems and metal stems so yea it could be like a break off and make set. Pretty cool.

Yes, it was a private event that occurred in early July. Something tells me it was in Brazil, but it might have been in Europe. I forget. It was one of those events where you customize your BXTR Metal with various silly items sticking out of the earstems:

Leave it to Oak to know *everything*. Interesting release even if some of those got a little weird.

Instagram link where I've seen it.

Oak and OB are both all knowing

I think a bunch of them were given away for an event in Paris. Everything else was seeded to friends of the brand/athletes/etc...

If you like the BXTR Metal, there is a whole bunch of stuff coming for you such as Transparent ginger, transparent viridian, matte transparent light curry in various collections:

Is that middle pair the MVP?

No, it’s similar but it’s a different SKU altogether. What did the MVP frame end up being on the box itself? This one is something like Matte Transparent Light Curry + Satin rose gold metal. The bottom pair is Transparent ginger + Satin metal bronze and Prizm Bronze for the Coalesce collection.

I'm also interested in these

I'll probably get that green one. We dont get enough crystal green frames. The others, as stated, are too much like the MVP and Bodega pairs.

I though we were supposed to be getting a red pair and a Grey pair with Ruby.

You will get the red and grey smoke pair as part of the Footprint collection. It was moved from this current season to the next.

The box ended up saying matte light curry. Not the colorshift they advertised. When do the green drop? I like those a lot.

Probably March/April.

I thought the same thing about the green, I would love to see that in some Radar Ev's, Resubs and a few others come to mind. That with an emerald lens would be sweet.

Or potentially that Sage Gold Iridium they do for goggles. That would be awesome. They do some specific goggle lenses that I think would go great in glasses.

Completely agree. The new Oakley X TLD collaboration has goggles with black ice iridium
