The premier frame in this exclusive eyewear family takes aesthetics to an entirely new arena, and it would not be possible without the world’s most advanced structural technologies. Oakley Elite C SIX utilizes pure carbon fiber, a material thinner than human hair yet stronger than high tensile steel. This breakthrough innovation from the aerospace industry is blended with resins and assembled into structures more than 40 layers thick. Five-axis Computer Numeric Control machining carves and shapes the composite with a process that requires more than 24 hours of continuous tooling.
And the worst part is? Most likely the majority of those who will buy them will be people who really cannot afford them.
Shiny Side Up!

4 figure plus sunglasses? Nothing new... Louis Vuitton has has $5K+ glasses out for a while now, and they're instantly recognizable and ugly-- just like their luggage and fabric patterns.

Ready for this... $4000.00
And I bet they still break. It is rarely the frame that breaks on glasses it is usually the hinge for the arms or the glass. So sure you get CF frames and arms, so what sit on em or drop them and your $4G's are gone
