My review of the Oakley Badman sunglasses, released back in 2015. I discuss their branding as “X-Metal” eyewear and what that means from a historical perspective. They earn my recommendation with some caveats.

They look great ion your face! But I agree, Oakley isn’t what it was after Luxxotuca bought them. I resorted to buying fake X-Metals on AliExpress to avoid paying $500+. And they ain’t too bad!
These are super light, and much more comfy than the old X-Metals. I got an outstanding deal on a pair of these (polarized red) and a pair of Carbon Shifts for a little over $300 for both at an Oakley outlet store.
I still have my juliets and just picked up a pair of these. I actually prefer these now…
I have a pair of Ferrari badman ..and I got a very good deal on!..them . I have a pair of polished /fire juliets as well!….and actually the profit margin was huge on the old x metals!
they are nice and I like em but my snapped under 1 year dayly use but atleast they gave me brand new framesand I payed 285$ but now that I got second pair its not bad deal only that they are not as bomb proof as Juliet/ other x metals
