they're Jon Olsson's personally designed goggles. I hear they're fairly expensive, don't know anybody that has them.

i know i want them. They are Jon's personally owned goggle company. I don't think there are currently any north american dealers, but there might be this upcoming year i think i heard some rumors but i can't remember who it was. You can order them off the website, but there upwards of 250euro, which is like 350-400 bucks, so yeah really pricey

I couldn't tell you why as I've never worn them, but I don't think Jon fucks around with anything he does so I'm assuming the quality of them is amazing

not any better then any other gog, they are a "high" fashion goggle, ment to be sold to the super rich for a high price.

He saw a market and went for it.

dont mean to be negative....but they look super funky and they are way overpriced. every goggle that they have been compared to looks way better (not that that even matters) and i'm sure that they are right up there function wise.

aka...those goggles are not worth it imo

BUMP

I think they look dope. But would never drop 4bills on goggles like everyone else on ns. Who makes the most similar looking goggle?

When will other companies steal jon's "design"?

It would be funny if a true independant company started producing the exact same look in a goggle but only charged 50 bucks for them......??someone make it happen!
