Amen

again are we collecting oakleys or boxes ..!!!

thank you

Rickster, maybe it's just a Japanese-translation thing? Or did you acquire it from Europe?

It came from deep in the belly of the European continent.

Does anybody know if any of the Irons Hijinx came with a Red microfiber bag?

every irons piece that i have seen has the sig box and brown bag.

Thanks. Thought it seemed strange. There's one on Ebay I was watching that had a red bag.....

Probably legit still, just not the right bag. I've received white womens line bags with pairs I've bought from online retailers.

I had a clueless clerk at SG Hut sell me my Irons with a Black Bag. I had no idea to squawk until later.

New signature Hijinx.. Augie’s Quest


Augie's Quest
Foothill Ranch, CA - 10/15/07
Oakley CEO, Scott Olivet had one of his good friends Augie Nieto visit Oakley Headquarters to educate Oakley employees on how to approach our business as a growing company while telling his incredible story.
From visionary to entrepreneur, from family man to good friend, Augie Nieto has touched the lives of many in a multitude of ways. He is one of the most successful innovators in the U.S. fitness industry.

At the age of 19, Augie bought the marketing rights to the Lifecycle exercise bike. Then in 1980, he co-founded Lifecycle, Inc., and over the next 20 years, the company, now called Life Fitness, Inc., repeatedly multiplied in size under his leadership and grew to be the largest commercial manufacturer of fitness equipment in the world.

Augie currently serves as chairman of Octane Fitness, and as an operating advisor to North Castle Partners. He is on the boards of several companies, including Grand Expeditions and Quest Software.

The Orange County, California, native earned a degree in economics with an emphasis in financial accounting from Claremont McKenna College in Claremont, California. Augie is a dedicated husband and father to his wife, Lynne, and their four children.

In March 2005, Augie was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, more commonly known as Lou Gehrig's disease. Drawing strength from his family, friends and a flood of supportive e-mails, Augie maintains a positive attitude and continues to lead an active life.

On Thursday afternoon, Augie gave a very powerful slide show on his life while teaching all of us some very important lessons about our approach as a company and as individuals. Nieto wrapped up his presentation with one of the funniest slides of the day - “Top 10 Reasons Why It Is Good To Have ALS.” Not only can this man continually move forward with a disease that slows his muscles more each day, he can poke fun at himself for having it.

Scott Olivet finished by showcasing a soon to be released signature Hijinx Sunglass – “Augie’s Quest.” The design is sleek and fits Augie to a tee, which brought the crowd to a standing ovation. Check back to find out more about Augie’s signature sunglass.

Oakley was very proud to have Augie come and speak to us. Please help us in supporting “Augie’s Quest”

Hopefully it'll be another fundraiser concept like the Livestrong.

I'm sure it is, from what I was reading "Augie's Quest" is to raise a lot of money for ALS.

i have a remark to do, the newer art chantry that i saw on the island here on aruba, the frame is not vented, did they change the mold or something, and yes the one i got from brent is vented as a lot i have seen in here.

and true my brown sugar has the problem too.. peeling bubbeling problem.

No good Marcel, I haven't worn mine since they were replaced.

In other Hijinx news, the Soviets were supposedly arriving in stores this week, anyone get a chance to look at them yet?

welli haven't since mine were bought on ebay, i was think on keeping it, since i have two.. maybe one day take the color off, and paint it black or something and have another color hijinx with gold vented icons, yeahh baby..

I just heard from a local OPD that I had been asking about the DC Hijinx. He can get a few pairs for $160. i immediately had him order one for me. Just letting people know if interested. It's being discontinued according to Oakley order forms. If you want me to tell him to reserve one for you pm me ASAP.

Edit: DC Hijinx is the Djbril Cisse Hijinx Shadow Camo / Dark Grey lenses European exclusive. Had some ?'s as to what "DC" was.

I'm still waiting on my Soviets to show...bought them last week on the O page.

SO what are DC Hijinx?

check the page before this one to see pics. Someone posted pics
