Well I think they might be. I have just been going through some old stuff and found a pair of Oakley ZERO 0.3 glasses that I bought back in the 90's when I visited the US. I thinking of selling but have no idea how much they are worth. Anyone have any ideas?

matthewjb, no. The Sub Zero range was very diverse.

There are/were way more than this as well!

does the 90s really constitute vintage?

I have sub zeros of that vintage too. (missle set on the second row from bottom in the pic above). not as far out as the OP's but odd to say the least. More worryingly they were my wife's originally...

in those days, . . .

seemingly, peripheral vision didn't exist, . . .

They are odd looking but back in the day when I thought I was a cool teenager I thought they looked the bollocks. I think Dennis Rodman wore this pair at the time which really should of told me a lot.

I have just found a pair on [url= http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&_trksid=p4340.l2557&item=330702267062&nma=true&rt=nc&si=iDyxR5iMELYfAkJZ%252F2ZLslqpkr0%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc ]ebay[/url]

Always liked the SubZeros, brought a pair back from the Vail Worlds in 94 for a mate, who's still got them, but the Zeros really didn't do it or me. Somewhere I've still got a pair of Blades kicking around, and two pairs of original Frogskins, which I still wear. Love them to bits. I also bought a lovely pair of Arnet Hornets in Vail, which they were just about to send back, 'cos no-one wanted them; metal frames and glass lenses made them unsuitable for biking, but they're lovely glasses. There's no trace of them ever existing on the Internet, oddly. Perhaps they might be worth something... 😀

Right, OP..... I'd love to take the piss and offer you £50 for them. But, as im feeling generous I'll tell you what to do.....

What you have there is a pair of Zero 0.3's

They are extremely rare and are very collectible, very much sought after by fellow Oakley collectors.

If they are in good condition they will go for a lot. If you have original box they'll go for a lot more

Stick them on eBay, offer to ship world wide. Stick "rare" "vintage" "collector" int he title (of course Zero 0.3 too!)

If you're lucky and they are in perfect condition you could be looking at a few hundred £

they're fakes though houns.

I think, as the mods have clamped down on fake items on this forum, the OP should send them to me for secure destruction, as I said before.

Now, zero's aren't really my thing, however mumbos and mframes are, so if anyone has any vintage models let me know ;0)

I have all the splatter frames (bar the uber rare one 😥 ) I am after neon yellow mumbo and any lenses (strip or v especially!)

Talking of vintage Oakleys. I have a mint pair of Razor blades, not a mark on them. I think I might put them on flea bay if your getting £200 bids for those.:-)
