gabriel- a few pages back i posted some picts of me wearing the brown 9294...the frames are more of a pewter then gold w/brown plastic arms...i havent taken these off yet
they come in pink, faded grey, faded brown, red and dark brown/green

 

[tpsreports2424]

Where can you get these???

 

[Thomas64]

I will be in Hong Kong in the next couple of months. I'll definitely pick up the red if I see them. The store I bought my 9294 from only have fade grey. And they don't seem to do individual orders but I never really asked. I'll phone them and ask if they can order me some red.

 

[tpsreports2424]

Hi badger, do you happen know the color code of the red 9294. I went searching all over town today and one store's computer show there are 4 total colors available. They couldn't tell me which one is the red color nor what kind of red it is (not on catalog). Another store said there are the faded red, faded grey and the faded brown. And what about that red 9294 on that chinese website, is that the red color or the pink? Thx

 

[Moonwalker_13]

Color code of the red 9294 is this one : EA 9294 - 010
and for info Faded brown ones are EA 9294 - GKR.


cheers

I am pretty sure those are the codes for the frame color. I need the lens code.

this is is chinese...there are 2 blue links for other colors.full model #'s are o top of the page--this is the red pair

 

[Thomas64]

The linked page still doesn't show the last two digit of the model number that represent the lens color. But I guess this could be faded red (010/AD). I'll go ask the store tomorrow. Thanks

I don't know if this was said before but, the arms look like the miu miu arms

To the untrained eyes, maybe.

 

[The Disciple]

Those arms look ugly from the front, they look BENT. Is it just me? And those red ones still look pink 2 me.

 

[tpsreports2424]

To the untrained eyes, maybe.

oooo


I wanna find a store that sells these and ships to the US

 

[Thomas64]

The 9294's design is not as streamline as the 9285. I still prefer the look of 9285 better.

 

[fca780]

exactly my thoughts ^^

Just ordered the fade red 9294 today. The color code was 010/AD. The same color combination as these: http://www.london-eyewear.co.uk/EA-9279-S-010-AD-by-Emporio-Armani,2,1,24,4619,productdetail,,.html

 

[The Disciple]

How much r these running on this site? In US Dollars?

 

[waynetravis]

slightly off topic. but does anyone know what model these are:

i notice they are from the Giorgio Armani collection

 

[Moonwalker_13]

armani 1535.

Previous model to the Emporio 9285, now discontinued because the cheap arm to frame connector used to break very very easily (hence the new desgin of the EA 9285)

 

[jag0918]

Yes Gabriel I was referring to you. DONT quit your day job.

 

[AntonCorbijn]

Do you people think Bono's wearing the 9294s, here?

They don't look as "wraparound" as the 9285s and instead of a bright pink, the earpieces seem to have a darker, more ruby colour. Just like the 9294 shown below. The lenses also seem to be slightly different in colour and shape

 

[waynetravis]

yes he is

look at the lense between the arms. its smaller than the 9285's.

also the logo is COEXIST instead of (RED).

 

[JCOSTER]

My glasses are the same color lense but my arms are pink.

Does anyone here know the darkest color armani has?

 

[waynetravis]

the darkest shades in the EA 9285's is the KJ195.

i got them and they are jet black

Ohhh! I'll have to look into them for the summer. The summer really kills my eyes and I need something black.

Any pictures? Please.

Thanks Wayne sweetie.

They look like it BUT if you look hard at the plastic part of the arms that bono wearing it is bright pink just like the 9285's and the plastic part of the pink 9294 is like maroon

Niiiiiiice!!! Now if you were the salesman they would be sold. Where was that picture taken the scenery is beautiful.

From the shape of the lens, they are definitely the 9285, not the 9294. They are a custom pair for sure.

I am picking up the red 9294 later today. Will post some pic soon.
