Concerning stickers: I don't work for Oakley (sadly) but have been a huge fan and follower of the brand for 12 years and don't plan on stopping any time soon. I also worked for Luxottica for three years under SunglassHut (horrible company, don't ever work there).
When Oakley first started they originally did not have any static clings on any of their merchandise. Shortly after they figured out that people didn't know anything about the brand and its attributes, they started putting them on to get people to ask questions (because rarely do people who are shopping for sunglasses for the first time ever know anything about them or the tech that goes into them. In my experience as a sales associate at least).
Oakley has and does put static clings on every pair of polarized lenses that they send out to a store front (believe me, I had to take every single one of them off before putting them on a shelf or in backstock. Biggest PITA ever). They also use different clings for different lense styles (HDO and Prizm for example). As far as I can tell from MD's pictures, these appear to be authentic.
Oakley is (possibly "was" seeing as they've been bought out to stay alive) pretty on top about taking down counterfeit products of theirs and ending their production (sadly not in so much as those ultra shitty and clearly fake "compare to" sunglass vendors that work out of kiosks in most malls. But they aren't selling fake Oakleys, just look alike Oakleys with barely recognizable Oakley-esque emblems. Not really worth while to deal with those because it's a completely different customer base).
Just my two cents in an effort to be helpful. It would also likely behoove MD to chime in on whether they're getting these from Oakley directly (unlikely) or a dependable 3rd party vender who is known to sell reputable product (far more likely).

ArisildeThanks for the informative post, @Arisilde. These are authentic Oakleys, however, we never reveal our source for a drop.
