Watch This BEFORE Buying The OAKLEY 13.11!

Oakley has a lot of great sunglasses for sports. But is the Oakley 13.11 really good for runners? Or for anyone?
If you're looking for sunglasses for running, watch this video and learn why these might not be the best product from Oakley. Maybe the Oakley M frame, Oakley Sutro or Oakley Radar EV is a better fit?

Thank you for doing the review. As an avid Oakley collector, a few issues I would have mentioned: 1) Absolutely the WORST choice for a frame color. For a "premium" and "limited release" (not even sold out yet, as you correctly pointed out), Oakley should have introduced an exclusive and exciting frame colorway. Instead, they pumped out an UGLY, DRAB, and downright BORING hue that looks like recycled trash. 2) Boring lens color as well. Again, for a "limited" and "exclusive" product, why not give us a POLARIZED Kato-like lens - especially given the fact that there has never been a Polarized or Prizm Polarized Kato lens yet? At least they could have released an eye-catching iridium such as 24K, Positive Red, or even Jade... But of course not. 3) No serial number. After the stunt they pulled with charging $2,300 + tax for the Muzm Mars (also no serial numbers) and they're all over the place, I've completely lost faith in Oakley's "limited-edition" releases. Until they start serializing their eyewear, I'm 99% "out" for their future releases. 4) Despite looking unique, that case was still "half" a case. When you're gonna expect the consumer to shell out $500 (with tax) for a pair of shades that probably cost around $5.00 to manufacture (I believe your $10 estimate was very generous), at least provide a PREMIUM presentation. This case left much to be desired, since it seemed like it was only "half" there. Just my opinion. Again, thanks for the review and let me buy those Green Pro M Frames from you! 😀

Love this comment. And after I first saw your comment, I've been trying to think about my feelings around the choice of color. I guess a limited edition would have deserved something more colorful, but I also don't hate the color. I guess it's growing on me. But I also have a lot of colors on my other pairs. When it comes to everything else you mentioned, I totally agree! And the green ones will never be sold. Unfortunately haha. Thanks for commenting!

It’s the first release of the bigger marketing campaign Future Genesis that will bring oakley back to its roots leading up to its 50th anniversary in 2025. The plain and sometimes considered “boring” color choice for the glasses give it a prototype style, which for a collector can be seen as cool. It falls into the sports performance category but at the end of the day it’s an expensive collector piece that many people will want to get their hands on

[@Warwickruns]

I agree with you on the color and they’re growing on me as a model. But I don’t know what I think about the limited edition being available for months after the release. Either I am the only one willing to pay that much, or it’s not a very limited edition.

[@evanhackett7659]

@@Warwickruns their limited edition remakes of classic pairs such as the mars, subzero, and mumbo were super sought after and made in even smaller quantities. Even “recent” releases like the Xeus, which was a new style that retailed for a premium price, sold out super quickly. I view this pair as something that is limited, not everybody wants to pay the price, but they made enough of them to give buyers an opportunity to get in on the action when it comes to the next chapter of oakley. I personally bought this pair as almost exclusively a collectors piece that I may wear on special occasions. I’m excited for what’s to come next

[@Warwickruns]

That makes sense! Will be interesting to see what’s coming next! Combining the very limited Mumbo bundle with the lenses of the 13.11 is pretty cool! Thanks for commenting!

This is why the Encoders are better than the Katos. For some reason the UK version of these are space grey instead of that bluey grey. Looks better I think, I quite like the design, reminds me of the Romeo X-Metals.

[@Warwickruns]

I agree with you. I just realized that I can use the lenses from 13.11 on my old M Frame Pro's which is pretty cool. I have started to like the lenses more. I believe the color is just because of the lighting in the video. I don't think they're different tbh :)

[@ashwinj6339]

Sir. Is it good to buy MFrame lenses from Revant optics??

[@Warwickruns]

Thanks for watching! I am sorry, but I have no experience with Revant Optics. The only store I know for a fact sells M Frame lenses, is Sportbrillenshop in Wolvega, Netherlands.

[@straightuplook]

the frame itself looks super comfortable

[@Warwickruns]

After a few months, I can't disagree!

[@siavash405]

old M frame Strike jet-black iridium shades , best Oakley products EVER,

[@Warwickruns]

I actually think you're right. The lenses were much better back then too

[@rikardoquintero8513]

Ese modelito... esta bien a secas, pero no los vale, están muy alucinados con ese precio tan alto, ¿ cuál será el pretexto para sobrevalorarlo?...

[@Warwickruns]

I agree. It's too expensive and I wonder why you would buy them if you already have something similar. That being said, I think the current models Oakley is selling are very different in terms of the fit. So if you don't have any m frames, maube these will be a good fit. But $500 is a lot of money for glasses

[@Zetler]

$500!? 🤣

[@Warwickruns]

Crazy isn’t it?

[@JaySkywalker23]

Not to crazy. We sold out at headquarters within the first 30 mins.

[@Warwickruns]

@@JaySkywalker23I actually love to hear that. After realizing I can match the lenses with my old m frames these are my favorites. Why do you think they still are available online?
