I bought the Gordos after seeing a targeted ad on Instagram. I spoke with whoever is in charge of the account there and was convinced to buy them. They’re dark, per the originals (maybe a little lighter than the originals but not by much!) What I love about these is the red sort of lens. It makes the Gordo 80’s really good for driving. Brake lights illuminate with them, which didn’t happen with the $8 pair available on eBay. These are luxury locs. I highly recommend the Gordo 80’s for anyone who wants the OG look with modern comfort and technology behind them. These are great glasses worth every penny
