Found these in my daily pursuit for EA and Bvlgari shades....I typically run a search on Ebay for Bono Sunglasses as welll and low and behold...I found these...
This is the description from the Ebay posting:
U2 Bono Alain Mikli SUNGLASSES 3214 Prototype Rare
Check them out if you have time...the seller is in Japan.
$500 is the opening bid...ouch !!!
(just to clarify...these are not mine)
It is the same pair I own. They are really 3214. But they are not prototype. The Guy who sell them is thé same that sold 3214 in Orange a few weeks ago.
And which I bought from him, and 2 years ago the brown/gold version too. He's a nice lucky fella who was able to buy a lot of pair in Tokyo when the 3214 came out.
What do you think about making a list of 3214's versions available for the masses and those worn by Bonoman and to make some kind of pole which version do we like the most (the best part will be finding photos)?
So, allow me to start:
Bonoman only:
1. Orange lenses/ orange pearl temples/ matt silver frame,
2. Red lenses/ black pearl temples/ matt silver frame,
3. Red lenses/ black glossy temples/ black glossy frame,
4. Yellow lenses/ black pearl temples/ silver matt frame,
5. Black lenses/ black pearl temples/ silver matt frame,
6. Dark red lenses/ black$red temples/ silver matt frame (offstage),
7. Black lenses/ black pearl temples/ glossy silver frame (offstage).
The masses:
1. Orange lenses/ orange pearl temples/ glossy silver frame,
2. Brown lenses/ tortoise temples/ glossy gold frame,
3. Black lenses/ black glossy temples/ glossy gold frame,
4. Blue lenses/ transparent&blue temples/ glossy gold frame,
5. Mirror lenses/ black glossy temples/ matt black frame,
6. Mirror lenses/ ???????? temples/ glossy silver frame.
Add to the masses: yellow lenses, yellow pearl temples, black frame. I have these.
BTW bono wore the 'Brown lenses/ tortoise temples/ glossy gold frame' on a photoshoot. to complete the list
Speaking of 9285's, there's a site online called decormyeyes.com that ostensibly "sells" the aramani 9285 models. DO NOT BUY FORM THEM. IT'S A SCAM. I charged back my card and now the guy is threatening me. He doesn't even have the glasses or a store.
Interesting. I bought a pair of eyeglasses from that site a year or so ago without a problem. I think that site is like a portal that's linked to a number of providers. So, yeah, you're right they don't have the glasses on them, but take your order and then obtain them from others. Which is pretty common now, but it can be maddening because these 'portals' don't always succeed in obtaining the glasses you ordered. I recently had this happen (different site), but they refunded my money when they couldn't get what I'd ordered. I hope it works out for you.
I´ve just get a new pair of Exte shades (Elevation single cover) ...
Pictures!
