It's the quality of the glasses that makes it 200$ worth. Removing the "only thing" that makes it 200 worth is nothing to someone if they care about quality over branding.
Issa Tutakhil I'm pretty sure it's the name RayBan that makes it worth so much. Not to mention that I've bought ten dollar sunglasses that have held up more than my RayBans.
I also get why of all brands that do, I just don’t see RayBan sending him promo stuff to market or demo. Neither would I. The RayBan destruction is sweet... for Casey, but I need that logo to remain intact and fully functional. No! I will only buff my RayBans’ xx
I remember this is the first video I saw of yours, I needed to find it. Just started watching your brothers things & it brought me back to you. It's good to come back & pick back up where I left off all these years later.
I think its fucking awesome that he took the ray ban label off his glasses. It just shows that he wants good quality glasses and doesn't want them for the brand.
I remember this being in my recommended and was the 1st video I watched of Casey, to this day, love this man full of positivity and just an awesome dude
I think it's because he just lives his life man. No body can make him give a fuck. He makes what he likes, and does what he loves. Casey is the fuckin man.
When i saw Casey in thumbnails or in videos, I always kind of turned away. I completely judged a book by its cover. I continue to add his videos to my watch later list. He has great talent in a lot of ways. It's quite interesting how he thinks! Thanks for sharing all your cool sunglass videos with us.
+NightFury Not really. I used to think the same thing when Casey "trashes" his equipment. Whether it be engraving his laptop with a dremel or cutting apart a suitcase, he does this a lot. The thing is, whatever made those RayBans cost $150+ is still there. They're still functioning, usable, glasses that have a bit of a "custom" look.
It's a truly sad day for me... after seeing this video when it was first posted I did the same treatment to my sunglasses. Carried those glasses with me for YEARS. Last weekend while canoeing in the back country wilderness of northern Minnesota I lost them in the middle of the lake and they plummeted to their icy cold resting place. Had to come back and watch this for the memories.
DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE, that recent vlog where he showed us how he makes his sun glasses he went over how he did it but I don't remember him confirming that it was from shooting the Benz commercial that the sun glasses originated! NICE! Learning more and more about Casey each day
hey Casey i have only been following you for a couple of weeks but the sunglasses vid made me hit the red button. I dont remember exactly how i found your channel but i,m glad i did, i,m also your 3,024,488 subscriber.Not expecting anything just wanted to standout a Little. You are right the car photo looks awesome
I have glasses that I actually need to wear to see. They're raybands that do resemble the raybands sunglasses, you have inspired me to do that with my actual glasses, thanks casey!
Love his video's, though I find it ironic how he removes the labels of his Ray Ban sunglasses and Canon camera to then make commercials for Nike and Mercedes.
the difference is that hes sponsored by nike and mercades and they pay him money to do those videos and hes not sponsored by ray-ban or canon so when hes making a video for one company you dont want to have logos for a different company in the same video
Aidan niplome I know he gets paid to advertise Nike and Mercedez. He just makes it appear as if he doesn't want a label on his Ray Ban cus it's just not cool and makes it kind of corporate. ''Jake didn't have a label. Elwood didn't have a label. - No ma'am, we're musicians. - Mine can't have a label.'' At the same time, he chooses to make commercials for some of the biggest brands out there. It might be just my perception on it, but that seems like a contradiction to me in his attitude and what he stands for.
greengoon I think this really is just your perception. He makes videos for other companies. This is part of his job. The other part would be making videos for himself. So, if he decides that he doesn't like labels on one thing and is fine with them on another, it fits right in with everything else in his life. Personally, I would have removed the label from the glass and not the frame, because it is a pain to constantly see that logo in your vision. I also would have taped off part of the front glass so that there were no flecks to annoy me... but I'm the guy who cleans his windshield every time he stops for gas so, whatever. I think I've gotten a bit off topic...
Wtf are you tail kin about? That close up were he carves off the logo But closed up on it enough so we all know it's ray bans? It's creative advertisement
It would be cool but I think Casey likes his glasses to be custom for him and not for anyone to just go and buy and maybe not even know the story behind it
+Anthony Zastoupil the fact he just showed us how to make them, and others will do this process, no longer makes them unique. But its not about being unique, he has a story worth telling about them.
bought and owned a cheap RayBan glasses and after a few months, it simply turned like yours. it's kinda metaphoric to wear something you owned for some time and shows the scratch and broken bits but you keep on wearing em cause it has a story with it.
Primer is usually only an undercoat, I would agree if he had lacquered, but that may have ruined the lenses and counteract the fact he didn't want it glossy.
Dude, your glasses are the bomb. I've have similar. The RayBan New Wayfarer w/ transition lenses (because I'm short sighted). Been watching you for a while in the silent.
***** Folding ray bans are kind of meh quality though. The only hinges I like from rayban are the ones on the original Wayfarere. The rest of them kind of fall apart after a year (in my experience that is.)
villegas24 There's a huge difference between my 5$ fakebans and my 90$ originals wayfarer, just saying. Anyone who has a pair of raybans would probably say the same. Specially in the long term of usage, the screws of fakebans usually get too loose.
because you get what you pay for, 10 dollar sunglasses don't last long and they are made with poor glass that doesn't protect from UV light, so yeah he want's the quality not the label, and original wayfarers are not that expensive, you can get them for 50 dollars off ebay
Self shooting, self making... So much energy for everything. How you do that... I just wanna watch third person perspective... Seriously it's gonna be really inspiring if you make that
Man, that's awesome. I'm new to your channel, and here I thought that some designer was paying you to wear their funky glasses. But, there's an actual story behind the glasses! I dig it, and now I want to copy it.
Welcome to another episode of why is this in my recommend 2020...oh wait, this is a classic gem, never mind carry on. This is a gem, thanks TH-cam ❤️ 🤟🏻
RayBan should do a casey Neistat limited edition glasses
They did something similar,it doesn't look nice.
No, they wouldn't give him glasses without RayBan label
+HamsterDude5150 it won't be original to casey neistat anymore
+requiema liabatyd It's fine he'll just remove it
Yep
I could watch Casey make stuff all day long.
True
especially his "Butter Box Trick"!
lol .
Have literally been doing that for the past days
Just got here few days ago (6yrs later lol) and been doing that. Goal is to watch them all
Honestly if Ray Bans was smart they'd release these as a real line of shades
+Dennis Rosenau , can you give us the statistic of age-watchers? Please
aye someone else who has the 39 thing happen, NICE, I thought it was just me. That makes us soul mates Dennis....
They did. They released the "Distress" Wayfarer, but Casey called them out on Twitter way back when XDD
*were
MHsiehHsieh Casey liked the white borderline around the lenses the wayfarers didn’t have that
who all just came from his recent video about his glasses?
me
I did lol.
Me
meeee
Me xD
I really like these, but i don't want to copy him.
Same.....
add something original so it isnt 100% copy
Like a bunch of colors. Or a gradient!
But now it's your idea though. :(
make your ones rainbow. just spray different paints in stripes and then scrape it.
Buys 200 dollar sunglasses
Removes the only thing that makes it worth 200 dollars
"Worth $200" is a strong phrase. That shit better be made of gold if it's 200 bucks...
It's the quality of the glasses that makes it 200$ worth.
Removing the "only thing" that makes it 200 worth is nothing to someone if they care about quality over branding.
Issa Tutakhil I'm pretty sure it's the name RayBan that makes it worth so much. Not to mention that I've bought ten dollar sunglasses that have held up more than my RayBans.
macaronipizza yeah but I don't think your 10$ glasses are able to fold and still be quality glasses with UV protective lenses.

I finally get the glasses now.

I also get why of all brands that do, I just don’t see RayBan sending him promo stuff to market or demo. Neither would I. The RayBan destruction is sweet... for Casey, but I need that logo to remain intact and fully functional. No! I will only buff my RayBans’ xx
.
He should make a vid of how he made that kick ass workshop
He did!
^ which video ?!
Aubrey Hewett-Hicks look up casey neistats wildly functional studio
Ben Wilcox Such a good video. Can't watch it though. Too much envy happens. :)
Or what the hell he does in it apart from the odd video
The good Ol days when casey would swear
he's starting to again :)
he is?
What's fun/cool about swearing? If anything, it should be used sparingly
Angeelo Gov he doesn't because kids might be watching
Monetization.
This is just about glasses and it is AWESOME.
short film goals
Casey is just filming goals for me.
can you stop saying "goals"? that would be great
+Baba Duke Goals. No.
Saffron Grey
just try it. you'll be less of a cringe to your family
+Baba Duke Mmm... no thanks. I'm good.
+Baba Duke Eh. No I don't.

Cole fyre Fuck! That looks awesome!
watching this in 2020 makes me say, "youtube was always better before"
True. Be safe
I want to make a custom glasses too
For saiman says
He broke his old glasses and hes acting weird now
It has been 10 years I've been watching Casey's videos! Damn!
I remember this is the first video I saw of yours, I needed to find it. Just started watching your brothers things & it brought me back to you. It's good to come back & pick back up where I left off all these years later.
"Fuck..... that looks awesome!"
You are the man Casey!
I think its fucking awesome that he took the ray ban label off his glasses. It just shows that he wants good quality glasses and doesn't want them for the brand.
He was trying to be like the blues brother not cause of the brand
***** I'm not saying they are the best, but ray bans are definitely better than a pair of $5 glasses.
They costed 5 bucks before the Italian company company purchased the brand.
+Soapy No it just shows us that the brand is actually really important to him.
+Soapy Thats nonsense
Casey is a badass! What a creative and interesting idea. Keep it up!
I remember this being in my recommended and was the 1st video I watched of Casey, to this day, love this man full of positivity and just an awesome dude
man I love coming back to these absolute goldies here and there.
I always thought it was the black peeling off

Because in his life he was a really bad kid
great story
yep
Uh huh
can't believe it's been 8 years since I've watched casey in the hospital during my illness. The times fly's
ONE MINUTE OF SILENCE FOR THE RAY-BANS...... RIP

Wow

Here, me. 😌

Hey
I watched your video again recently. Your videos have influenced me a lot when I was still on campus. Thank you, Casey.
so imagine if he never had his window down
the iconic white casey neistat sunglasses would’ve never existed
I love Casey's glasses there funky, cool and fresh I'm hopefully making a pair like these soon
but then they are not "your" style
1:18 had me lmao. "Fuck, that looks awesome!"
"SOMETIMES YOU HAVE TO WRECK THINGS TO MAKE THEM YOUR OWN." Casey - that is awesome!
easily my favorite casey neistat movie, probably watched this 100 times.
I appreciate the reference to Jake & Elwood.
When i saw Casey in thumbnails or in videos, I always kind of turned away. I completely judged a book by its cover. I continue to add his videos to my watch later list. He has great talent in a lot of ways. It's quite interesting how he thinks! Thanks for sharing all your cool sunglass videos with us.
And to think this whole time I thought they were a cheap pair of sunglasses beat to hell lol who knew they were "custom"
Trendy people just add "custom" to anything
Ikr? Complete waste of a pair of Ray-Ban Sunglasses
+NightFury Not really. I used to think the same thing when Casey "trashes" his equipment. Whether it be engraving his laptop with a dremel or cutting apart a suitcase, he does this a lot. The thing is, whatever made those RayBans cost $150+ is still there. They're still functioning, usable, glasses that have a bit of a "custom" look.
Am i this old? I saw this video when it first came out. Wow time really flies by
It's a truly sad day for me... after seeing this video when it was first posted I did the same treatment to my sunglasses. Carried those glasses with me for YEARS. Last weekend while canoeing in the back country wilderness of northern Minnesota I lost them in the middle of the lake and they plummeted to their icy cold resting place.

Calm down its not that deep bro
this guy is awesome, he takes expensive stuff and then takes power tools to them
Who would've ever thought it would be such an interesting story behind a pair of glasses LOL

The subtle flex at 00:12 watching your own videos on a plane
everyone hypnotized into thinking ruined sunglasses is actually nice

anyone ever told you that you look like a younger sean penn?
Thank god I'm not alone!
I always thought he looked like a better looking Johnny Galecki
I've got it guys... Sean Penn... with Johnny Galecki's hair. Perfect
A legend is born. Thank you for inspiring me to Vlog Casey! Cheers!
This is where it all started, timeless storytelling by hall of fame daily vlogger
can the picture of you in the salt with that car be found somewhere?? it's fucking epic!!
On his Instagram there is a version of it. You will have to go down quite far. instagram.com/p/Z4Q1VDptXR/
+Fewie Dew Thank you Sir! Found the picture 😄
I love you man! miss your vlog
I feel like Casey sleeps in his glasses.
Love how casey says if you don't want to follow thats fine too
This video is 10 years old, I can’t believe it! It’s quality is so good!
Who came here from today vlog?
me

Nobody:
Casey: destroys glasses because it has a ray ban logo on it
A pair of Casey's specialized glasses mass produced? I think so :)
It would be cool but I think Casey likes his glasses to be custom for him and not for anyone to just go and buy and maybe not even know the story behind it
they didn´t be unique....
That's what ruins the value behind them. You start mass producing them and next thing you know everyone thinks they're lame as fuck.
RKFCGSBGK didnt think of that.
just be original I think that's his message
When I think of New York, Casey is one of the first things I think of.
This is still the best video about sunglasses that I’ve ever seen
I appreciate the Blues Brothers reference
youtube: lets reccomened this 80 years later!
You could have a store with these in, people would buy them - I know I wojld
Then they wouldn't be unique
+Anthony Zastoupil the fact he just showed us how to make them, and others will do this process, no longer makes them unique. But its not about being unique, he has a story worth telling about them.
+P/\T not that popular. people don't do it. still way unique then every other persons glasses
bought and owned a cheap RayBan glasses and after a few months, it simply turned like yours.
it's kinda metaphoric to wear something you owned for some time and shows the scratch and broken bits but you keep on wearing em cause it has a story with it.
The mighty good old times. The great Neistat! Wish you the very best! Saludos desde Edimburgo!
one of my lifetime goals is to work with this guy.
Couldn't he have just used correction fluid?
logic
I think correction fluid would have flaked off faster than the primer?
Primer is usually only an undercoat, I would agree if he had lacquered, but that may have ruined the lenses and counteract the fact he didn't want it glossy.
***** me gusta.
Thank god for blues brothers references
Casey is the greatest youtuber on this platform nothing u can say will change my mind
I do this with my glasses, ever since this video was upload. Thanks Casey
haha I randomly stumbled upon this video exactly 3 years after it was uploaded
2019 anyone?
Yes
nah 2020
2020 covid sucks
Am about to buy a lambo, spray paint it, scratch it and make it my own.
It's almost 5 years and I still love this movie
Dude, your glasses are the bomb. I've have similar. The RayBan New Wayfarer w/ transition lenses (because I'm short sighted). Been watching you for a while in the silent.
if you didn't want the RayBan logo you should've just got $10 knockoffs :P
***** Folding ray bans are kind of meh quality though. The only hinges I like from rayban are the ones on the original Wayfarere. The rest of them kind of fall apart after a year (in my experience that is.)
whatever Whatever...:)
whatever $10 cheap ones won't protect your eyes from the dangerous UV light tho :(

Fuck what others say or think. You are, without a doubt the coolest person you know.
I like this kind of videos of him
One of my fav casey Video
Those glasses went from being the original Ray-Bans, to the iconic Casey Neistat Sunglasses!!
Why would you buy $200 sunglasses then remove the label you could buy some plain old ones for like $10
Because why not. Its his money, doesn't matter how you "would" spend it, your not spending it anyway.
***** Couldn't have said it better
because you get what you pay for, 10 dollar sunglasses don't last long and they are made with poor glass that doesn't protect from UV light, so yeah he want's the quality not the label, and original wayfarers are not that expensive, you can get them for 50 dollars off ebay
Marc D I had a pair of cheap fake wayfarers that lasted for 2 or 3 years. My raybans didn't last half as long :/
Julian Amrine I have a 2 year old ray-ban wayfarer and they are as good as new, they where like 350usd
Casey just a tip, nail polish remover works great for removing the label! I do it all the time!!
