they're the d23 ones. so cool
meh..not to my taste...I had them (when I first thought they were the HTDAAB promos) and the G37s you have I also had...not disputing that Bono wore them...but when I tried them on and wore them around I thought they looked cheesy...that flash blue purple tint just said 'flea market $10 shades' when I looked at myself especially in day/sunlight - yuck!
Anyhoo I ended up trading them for the H50 and G35s. Great thing about both pairs is how great they look in different situations and different lighting...for example..on stage the H50 looks reddish and sometimes blue...but in direct sunlight it is black and very smart looking as it has the chrome trim for contrast unlike the all black model which inexplicably DG decided to put white ear guards on - what were they thinking???
The G35s, which I can't stop wearing, not only have a flash green to them, but onstage they go tan/brown, and depending on what color hat I have on (black or green), they change color to suit the hat. Very cool.
So really, even in my role as "bono", I don't always go with exactly the color he wears. If it doesn't look good on me in my opinion, I'm not buying it.
My suggestion is go out and try the damn things on, and go outside in the sunlight and see if you like how they look. Cause most of you won't be wearing them onstage or have a thousand flashbulbs going off in your face when you wear them, you'll be wearing them outdoors in the general public, so thinking that your glasses will necessarily look like Bono's might not be true.
Just my advice after being through a few pairs of "bono glasses" lol - speech over!
