no not really, these are what mine look like, only both are darker, and one has mirror lenses.

these are aviators

see the difference between my type of sunglasses(first picture) and the aviators(second picture)?

The style of sunglasses that Duke wears are called "Wayfarers", they were made by a company called Ray Ban and were really popular in the 80's. But there are about a billion different knock offs of the wayfarer style, and as Oakman pointed out, they're not too hard to find.

Also, the sunglasses that the main character wore in the movie They Live were Wayfarers. This is the movie where the line "I'm here to chew bubblegum and kick ass... and I'm all outta gum" came from.

yeah... because Ran-Ban happens to be credited as a designer label, they think they can charge $90 for a piece of plastic and two lenses.

Here's a cheap ass knock off pair for like $15: http://www.aclens.com/buy-sunglasses.asp?ID=1168

And I'm sure you can find them even cheaper, if you're looking for a pair for a class assignment.

and slightly off topic: found this on Youtube
