Looks like there's going to be another new Ichiro Juliet according to many of the Japanese sites. Apparently the new frame is polished with an Emerald Slate Iridium lens and of course the laser etched Ichiro signature. No pictures available as of yet..

You mean this one?



That would make 4 for Ichiro - not bad.

Emerald does not really match his blue uniform. Good find though! I like the slate/polished combo the most.

maybe he's planning on getting traded to the A's

yesss! we will love that to happen here at the Bay Area

So why so many? Does Oakley feel the need to change the model that's for sale everytime he changes what he's wearing? That way the Ichiro fan is always getting what Ichiro has and they don't feel behind. I would figure it to be like Air Jordan sneakers. One new pair a year.

except 300 bucks

actually air jordans got to be that bad too, didn't they?

In Japan, an Ichiro Jersey went for almost $400.00, he is huge over there. I also saw the number 51 Ichiro Juliet at the Tokyo O store. I didn't ask the price, which I should have. That would have been interesting to know.

NOTICE THE EARSOCK IS ALSO IN GREEN

clever of them to make the box in black and white so they don't have to keep changing that every 2 months

Nice - thanks for the snaps.
(BTW lenslink.com was listing the carbon/blue Ichiros.)

Now Oakley can not sell us green Juliet kits along with not selling us blue (and sometimes red) ones.

It may be nice to see those emerald nose bombs and earsocks on the Plasma/Emerald Juliet now.

Hmmmmm, that would look awesome on my X-Metal/Emerald Juliet.

Fine, Chris', but no one would know that.

they're also mine, in my happy fantasy world. and i wouldn't like the green unobtanium, actually.

Is this again only available in Japan ?
How come its not in the official website yet?

Romel G (MelG - 11/3/2004 2:27:59 AM)
------------------------------------------------------------

If and when an Ichiro shows up on the official website, it goes down after 3 days or so. Happened twice that I know of.

Dann Thombs (Dann - 11/3/2004 8:45:09 AM)
------------------------------------------------------------

what I know is that the ichiros ara available in the states (canada), for sure japan, in europe I think only in England.
