RayBan should do a casey Neistat limited edition glasses

[@FootballOrigamiGames]

They did something similar,it doesn't look nice.

[@lifesabitchnthnudie]

No, they wouldn't give him glasses without RayBan label

[@nalinjain4882]

+HamsterDude5150 it won't be original to casey neistat anymore

[@sericopie]

+requiema liabatyd It's fine he'll just remove it

[@perdasche]

Buys 200 dollar sunglasses Removes the only thing that makes it worth 200 dollars

[@benwilcox6725]

"Worth $200" is a strong phrase. That shit better be made of gold if it's 200 bucks...

[@IssaT94]

It's the quality of the glasses that makes it 200$ worth. Removing the "only thing" that makes it 200 worth is nothing to someone if they care about quality over branding.

[@ripem1417]

Issa Tutakhil I'm pretty sure it's the name RayBan that makes it worth so much. Not to mention that I've bought ten dollar sunglasses that have held up more than my RayBans.

[@IssaT94]

macaronipizza yeah but I don't think your 10$ glasses are able to fold and still be quality glasses with UV protective lenses.

[@SaffronGrey]

+Baba Duke Eh. No I don't.

[@Soapyy]

I think its fucking awesome that he took the ray ban label off his glasses. It just shows that he wants good quality glasses and doesn't want them for the brand.

[@eldensmith4161]

He was trying to be like the blues brother not cause of the brand

[@Soapyy]

***** I'm not saying they are the best, but ray bans are definitely better than a pair of $5 glasses.

[@lookherenow2]

They costed 5 bucks before the Italian company company purchased the brand.

[@anothertrivialmudak8854]

[@LiamKowalczyk]

+NightFury Not really. I used to think the same thing when Casey "trashes" his equipment. Whether it be engraving his laptop with a dremel or cutting apart a suitcase, he does this a lot. The thing is, whatever made those RayBans cost $150+ is still there. They're still functioning, usable, glasses that have a bit of a "custom" look.

Casey is a badass! What a creative and interesting idea. Keep it up!

[@wallyanimations]

Love his video's, though I find it ironic how he removes the labels of his Ray Ban sunglasses and Canon camera to then make commercials for Nike and Mercedes.

[@aidanshmaden69]

the difference is that hes sponsored by nike and mercades and they pay him money to do those videos and hes not sponsored by ray-ban or canon so when hes making a video for one company you dont want to have logos for a different company in the same video

[@wallyanimations]

Aidan niplome I know he gets paid to advertise Nike and Mercedez. He just makes it appear as if he doesn't want a label on his Ray Ban cus it's just not cool and makes it kind of corporate. ''Jake didn't have a label. Elwood didn't have a label. - No ma'am, we're musicians. - Mine can't have a label.'' At the same time, he chooses to make commercials for some of the biggest brands out there. It might be just my perception on it, but that seems like a contradiction to me in his attitude and what he stands for.

[@leloodallasmultipass]

greengoon I think this really is just your perception. He makes videos for other companies. This is part of his job. The other part would be making videos for himself. So, if he decides that he doesn't like labels on one thing and is fine with them on another, it fits right in with everything else in his life. Personally, I would have removed the label from the glass and not the frame, because it is a pain to constantly see that logo in your vision. I also would have taped off part of the front glass so that there were no flecks to annoy me... but I'm the guy who cleans his windshield every time he stops for gas so, whatever. I think I've gotten a bit off topic...

[@jmendoza328]

Wtf are you tail kin about? That close up were he carves off the logo But closed up on it enough so we all know it's ray bans? It's creative advertisement

[@Aaron16]

The original wayfarer's didn't have logos on them, thats why he removed them

I remember this is the first video I saw of yours, I needed to find it. Just started watching your brothers things & it brought me back to you. It's good to come back & pick back up where I left off all these years later.

[@nataliem.2651]

When i saw Casey in thumbnails or in videos, I always kind of turned away. I completely judged a book by its cover. I continue to add his videos to my watch later list. He has great talent in a lot of ways. It's quite interesting how he thinks! Thanks for sharing all your cool sunglass videos with us.

if you didn't want the RayBan logo you should've just got $10 knockoffs :P

***** Folding ray bans are kind of meh quality though. The only hinges I like from rayban are the ones on the original Wayfarere. The rest of them kind of fall apart after a year (in my experience that is.)

villegas24 There's a huge difference between my 5$ fakebans and my 90$ originals wayfarer, just saying. Anyone who has a pair of raybans would probably say the same. Specially in the long term of usage, the screws of fakebans usually get too loose.

but then they are not "your" style

[@jakesingleton8839]

Why would you buy $200 sunglasses then remove the label you could buy some plain old ones for like $10

[@ezraortiz437]

Because why not. Its his money, doesn't matter how you "would" spend it, your not spending it anyway.

[@ezraortiz437]

***** Couldn't have said it better

[@marcd7332]

because you get what you pay for, 10 dollar sunglasses don't last long and they are made with poor glass that doesn't protect from UV light, so yeah he want's the quality not the label, and original wayfarers are not that expensive, you can get them for 50 dollars off ebay

[@slowgold20]

Marc D I had a pair of cheap fake wayfarers that lasted for 2 or 3 years. My raybans didn't last half as long :/

[@marcd7332]

Julian Amrine I have a 2 year old ray-ban wayfarer and they are as good as new, they where like 350usd

[@CanOzkutan]

Couldn't he have just used correction fluid?

[@aryadommeti4697]

logic

[@nishatnguyen]

I think correction fluid would have flaked off faster than the primer?

[@CanOzkutan]

Primer is usually only an undercoat, I would agree if he had lacquered, but that may have ruined the lenses and counteract the fact he didn't want it glossy.

[@jackypatrin]

It's a truly sad day for me... after seeing this video when it was first posted I did the same treatment to my sunglasses. Carried those glasses with me for YEARS. Last weekend while canoeing in the back country wilderness of northern Minnesota I lost them in the middle of the lake and they plummeted to their icy cold resting place. Had to come back and watch this for the memories.

[@mongrut3151]

He prefers the quality of the Rays.

[@AdamRasheed]

1. They're not the Polarized versions, so literally no quality difference than any other piece of plastic. 2. Even if they were, he just scraped it away.

[@mongrut3151]

Adam Rasheed Mhm. Well he personally mentioned that he liked the quality of them in a previous video, just passing along the message.

[@TheWhifby]

It's true what you say, RayBans are made for about 15$ each. Though because 15$ glasses are not what the 'cool' people wear, they just crank up the price so high that the price make it look exclusive and high quality so people will buy it.

[@lewisent9911]

yeah but although the glasses themselves may cost only $15 to manufacture, there isnt like $150 added value. A lot of that money will go towards costs such as R+D, marketing etc etc

[@unholychunk]

seems weird to buy overpriced glasses to ruin them on purpose in the name of fashion

[@unholychunk]

***** i am poor so it just seems weird to me he didn't get a pair for under 200$ to do this. he only spent the extra money based on the fact of their name.

[@unholychunk]

I'm not saying buy a 10$ Walmart pair.

[@unholychunk]

Because you can get the same quality for half the price. How do people not realise this?

[@ColonelloRS]

+unholychunk This is true, but it comes with a catch. You often times have to buy them directly from China or online. Typically your standard grocery store sunglasses aren't going to cut it. Even so you 100% know that those glasses will last due to the brand name. It's almost impossible to tell if a pair of unbranded glasses is actually quality until a few months down the line.
