Think whatever you like about Rapha (that the company carries a vague odor of “douche”-ness), their style is generally very good.

These shades, however, are a serious misstep.

@Superstantial: it’s not so much douche-ness as “mid-30’s hipster” appeal.

The creme/black is okay, but the painted colors are not something I would sport (I wouldn’t wear those frames anyhow but that’s something else). Would’ve been nicer if they painted it on the ear piece, just after the hinge, around the “O”

Is it April 1st? Yeah, I don’t know about this one. Normally Love Rapha, but this is a bit lame. They took the ugliest sunglasses to go mainstream in years and made them even uglier.

Not a hater here, but “… and all proceeds will directly support the Rapha-Focus professional cyclocross team.” Really? How ’bout donating that dough to say… I don’t know, a charitable cause? I think the Rapha-Focus CX team are all a bunch of cool dudes/dudettes and all, but that just seems very odd to me that they came out with their own limited-edition glasses to auction off just to directly contribute to the team. Doesn’t seem that classy for such a classy company.

Nice eyelashes…. seriously could have had some nice glasses except for the face paint that got on the front of them.

And why donate money to them in the first place they’re way more sponsored then a lof of other people out there trying to make it.

Take after Nike(BTTF Shoes) and donate the money to good cause, use ebay, be transparent and win costumers, stop being dicks….

Did you mean “customers” or “costumers?” Because all cycling kits ARE a bit like costumes….

So the first pair(s) went for $650. Does that mean that the rest will go for more? Would you pay over $650 for a pair of these????
