    Oakley founder back in the sunglass business

    Jim Jannard, Oakley and Red Digital Cinema camera founder, just launched a new sunglass brand earlier this month. Its called M-Experiment.

    There are only 3 styles so far but it is one to keep a eye on in the future for an independently owned Oakley competitor as the collection expands.

    I know how I feel. It's hideous, and adjustable. Nothing about these frames says optical quality. They look like they belong on a shelf at sunglass hut and the gas station spindle. It's more concerned with its branding than functionality. Hard pass all around.

    I'll reserve judgement until I can see it in person.

    They definitely look very Oakley-ish still, but cool.
