It’s time for a quick reality check on I-Wear…
So… hang in the malls with Gen Y. Load up at the video arcade. Shoot hoops. Check out the girls…
and guys on any city street. Stop by a local
car wash on Saturday. Watch the dudes having
their wheels detailed. Note the eyewear. It’s real…
As real as the people who wear it.
