Oakley X-Metal Reloaded ‘Madman’ Dark Carbon/Fire Iridium Polarized

By the time Oakley introduced the Madman in 2015, the legacy of the X-Metal line was already cemented in eyewear history. But rather than simply revisiting the past, Oakley set out to reimagine it - channeling the spirit of the original X-Metals while pushing boundaries in design and technology. The Madman was part of the “X-Metal Reloaded” series, launched alongside the Badman, and intended as a spiritual successor to the revolutionary frames of the late ’90s and early 2000s. Though not made from the exact same titanium alloy as the original line, the Madman used a lightweight aluminum and O-Matter hybrid construction, giving it the look of a futuristic evolution while improving on wearability and flexibility.

The design was unapologetically bold. With its exaggerated, circular lenses and aggressive curves, the Madman divided opinions - seen by some as a wild departure and by others as a daring tribute. Oakley embraced this controversy, positioning the Madman not just as eyewear, but as a statement piece. Like its predecessor, the Madman featured Oakley’s proprietary High Definition Optics (HDO) and polarized lens options, engineered for elite performance and optical clarity.

Though it never reached the same cultural saturation as the Juliet, the Madman found its audience among collectors and enthusiasts who appreciated its uncompromising design and nod to Oakley’s risk-taking DNA. Its short production run and unique aesthetics have since turned it into a cult collectible, embodying Oakley’s mantra of “disruptive by design.” The Madman may not have defined a generation like the original X-Metals, but it echoed their spirit—and in doing so, carved out a place of its own in the Oakley hall of fame.

Good overall condition with some signs of wear to the frame and lenses but vision not impaired - comes with microfibre bag.
