Could you pull them off?

It makes sense for athletes like Boldon and the Swedish golfer Jarmo Sandelin to wear the pair, but the glasses have also become a hit in the fashion world recently. This past week, street style sensation and talk show host Kerwin Frost wore a pair on my Instagram show #that he was debating getting rid of. He had purchased them on eBay after seeing that the rapper Flavor Flav had worn the shades to concerts in the early ’00s.

Boldon agrees. When he wore them to the Olympics, commentators called the glasses “space-age eyewear.” Boldon had been friends with both a rep for Oakley and the company’s founder James Jannard, who had been talking to Boldon about wearing glasses. Olympians can’t show sponsors on their uniforms, but, according to Boldon, they can wear what they want on their face – which he refers to as “prime real estate.

Swedish golfer Jarmo Sandelin of Sweden wears Oakley’s OVERTHETOPS at a competition in Denmark in 2018.Boldon gave both of his original pairs away to his cousin and uncle, but his OVERTHETOP sunglasses live on in the digital world. “It has been 21 years and every day on my social media I see a picture of myself [wearing them],” he says. Tips on how to get the look? According to Boldon, it’s all in the attitude. “You have to be confident,” he says.
