I think there sick, such a sweet combo between trendy sun glasses and goggles. ooh jeah for all the haters, you north-Americans have never been known for your amazing fashion sense or sense for style.  Jon is aiming at a different segment than newschoolers with these goggles. he is a grown-up and designs grown up stuff. This goggle is going to be hot on the slopes when it comes out. and for all the gangster/hood haters: my freaking cat is more hood than you, cause he is black and you aint

look pretty good, some changes could be made, but i was wondering.
is there nothing protecting the bottom edge? if so if you had a major crash wouldnt they be able to cut you, not very safe really, quite dangerous if so.

he actually owns YNIQ..so at this point he has probably put more money into it than he has gotten out...but that will most likely change shortly once he starts raking in the profits.

He isn't my President, plus he is a communist, so... it still must be the 80's.

Trendy... North Americans and no amazing fashion sense... grown-up... hot on the slopes...

Got it.

They look like Euro trash.

Although - after being seen enough by enough people on enough industry-important people, NS.com will officially go nuts for these things. I can't wait to see the marketing behind these highly functional and technically superior optical skiing and lifestyle accessories.

at first i thought this was a joke, but now that i see the pictures, Wow Jon, Seriously, you leave arguably the best company in optics for this. those goggles are like 3 decades behind everyone.

does newschoolers rock his outerwear sponsor's stuff?

have you seen his new automobile?

conclusion = jon dosen't need your money.

on a side note, i think they're sorta nice. i don't know that i would rock them because i don't usually go for the "a bit out there" type style.

keep in mind they havnt even had a year of production yet...i wouldnt blow ur load just yet over these goggles...

i expect weiiiirrddd designs that america doesnt take to well at first but grows into as jon hypes them up and sponsers some popular riders...

i also see overpriced in the near future as well...i really cant see these being anything considered moderate.
