I know exactly the ones you're talking about.
I have the ones Kobe has and you see poppin up in all the videos, only I got mine about 4 months ago when they were first released.
They are the Gucci, model 1935 and the suggested retail on them is $250. They were available in 3 colors (fading brown, fading grey, fading purple) when they first came out in March 2002. They are the most expensive of the Gucci line and one of the newest models. (and in my opinion the flyest of this year's Gucci eyewear line)
The ones JT had on are older Gucci's, they came out in like 2000 and you can cop them now for about $135. But, they have hella big frames so they're not for all faces.
The other glasses I want (and I've been wanting them before I got my Gucci's) are the Chanel Avi's and they run either $280 or $400 something like that. These are the ones you see Puff wear in most of his vids (see "Pass the Courvosier"), but now lately he has switched to the Gucci 1935's.
It's funny I notice video's are playing a huge role on alot of cats, first the big thread of the Gucci Nikes now the Gucci lenses. (btw if you really wanna do it big, Gucci makes a set of Aviators that when you view them from an angle, you will see the "GG" pattern over the lenses!)
Here is a tip for any aspiring young players that may not have a boss pocketbook:
Ralph Lauren makes a set of sunglasses that look EXACTLY like the Gucci 1935's, and they only cost something like $70 retail. Most cats won't be able to tell them apart from the video sunglasses because they've never seen a real pair of Gucci's and even so, the authentic Gucci's don't have any logos on them the only way you know they GG is if you look real close at the frame its HELLA small "Gucci" imprint & the "Gucci" name is printed on the inside of the nose pads.
They say "Ralph" on the frames & at the top corner of one lens but it's not tacky. That & the frames are just slightly thicker than the Gucci frames is pretty much the only difference. They are actually made by the same company so the UV quality and craftsmanship is just about as good as Gucci.
Take a look at your nearest mall go to "Sunglass Hut" they stock some of the 2002 Gucci line as well as the Ralph line.
BY THE WAY, IF ANYONE WANTS AUTHENTIC GUCCI, VERSACE, OR CHLOE SUNGLASSES, I HAVE A MAJOR PLUG ON THEM!:classic: )
^yes, this is mr "Hustler of the Year" himself! lol
