SHAUN WHITE SIGNATURE SERIES FROGSKINS

The vintage look of Oakley Frogskin gets the Shaun White treatment, and it’s a golden touch of originality. This limited edition brings back a rare classic and turns it into a prized collectible for those who want to own a piece of history. A nod of respect to the superstar of action sports, it comes with gold toned logos and 24K Iridium® lens coating that increases contrast and balances light for sunny days. The Polished Black frame is composed of lightweight O Matter® for all-day comfort. This is the kind of look Shaun takes to the street, and we printed his signature on the inner facing of the earstem.

For each original colour combination of this coveted style, limited quantities will be produced. This is an opportunity to own a rare retro classic, and once supplies are gone, the window of opportunity will be closed forever.

Please note that this lens/frame color combination is available for a limited time only. Due to the exclusive nature of the design, warranty replacement parts are limited.

The sunglasses feature a gradient colorway, fading from black to purple, midnight blue, and eventually a clear finish. Along with special Primitive “P” logos on the detachable arms, the shades will come fully equipped with an additional set of arms and a custom silk screened bag, further emphasizing the theme which was conceived by Jubal Jones and the rest of the Primitive team.

History of Oakley Frogskins

Source: www.oakleyfrogskins.com

The original Frogskins retailed $40 USD back in the day and were released in over 50 color-ways. They were the classic sunglasses that put Oakley on the map and are truly one of the best ways to represent the 80's. Now over 20 years later, the Oakley Frogskins have been re-issued for a new generation to embrace, so if you missed out last time.. here's your chance. They are being re-released in limited numbers (3,000 for most models) through selected retailers. There's no question that the unmistakable frame and bold colors are still in demand and more popular than ever.

Oakley began in the the mid 1970’s by founder Jim Jannard as a small scale “garage” brand that focused on producing cutting-edge motocross handgrips. It was a small operation but by focusing on quality and innovation, his products soon led to goggles and eyewear, which Oakley is most known for today.

Oakley sunglasses were introduced in 1984, with several sport-specific models slowly being adopted by the key athletes of the time. Greg LeMond wore Oakley sunglasses during his performance in the 1984 Tour de France. Quite a different look from the shades Lance Armstrong wears today.

The appeal of Oakley as an innovative eyewear brand soon developed with the mainstream and caught on like wildfire. In 1985, the Oakley Frogskins were released as all-around performance sunglasses (seriously) that had a one of a kind design and cutting-edge technology that Oakley was known for with their iridium-finish lenses and Serilium™ based frames. Oakley dominated the 80's eyewear revolution and are still at the forefront of the eyewear industry today.

Although the re-released shape and colors are similar, there are some significant differences between the original Oakley Frogskins and limited edition models being sold today. The first generation Oakley Frogskins used metal hinges on their earstems, had the Oakley logos screenprinted to the side of the glasses (rather than the raised Oakley emblem), and were made in Japan. Another generation of Oakley Frogskins was released in the 90’s, which used integrated molded hinges and had raised Oakley logos on their earstems. The newer models were made in the USA. Yes!

The current re-released Oakley Frogskins use nylon based O-Matter as well as all the technical lens geometry found on modern Oakley products. Furthermore, the hinges on the re-released models are beveled rather than cylindrical in order to improve strength and flex. They actually are very lightweight and somewhat flimsy. Many people mistake authentic Oakley Frogskins as fakes due to the changes in manufacturing.

Oakley Frogskins were made available in over 50 different color-way and lens combinations, while finally being discontinued in the mid 90’s. In late 2007 they were re-introduced and have since been made available in limited numbers. Only 3000 editions per colorway are released at a time through key retailers as Collectors Edition glasses. They are also doing smaller releases as well by collaborating with companies such as SUPREME, Grenade Gloves, and Gentei.... these editions are ultra rare. Once supplies are gone, they’re gone forever. Get them while you can.

LIMITED EDITION JUPITER CAMO FROGSKINS SUNGLASSES

Our very first dual-lens sunglass was called Frogskins®, and ever since, we’ve had a thing for leapfrogging the competition. We even had a mascot Frog named “Jupiter” for a while. The green and yellow of his slippery skin (along with the red of his eyes) inspired the colors of our Jupiter Camo Collection.

The styles are a salute to the early days when evolution became revolution, and performance crawled out of the slime to walk upright. It has carried our icon ever since, and these rarities carry history in their radical renditions.

This is it, the first dual-lens sunglass style ever created by Oakley. It’s a blast from the past with colors that commemorate a mascot frog from our early years. Screen printing and our vintage logo dress the earstems, and the +Red IRIDIUM® lenses boost visual contrast and balance light for sun-blasted days. O Matter® frame material keeps things lightweight and comfortable all day long. Jupiter Camo Frogskins come with a metal frog/icon pin and a custom Microclear™ bag to store the frame and help you keep the lenses clean and sharp."

My Frogskin

Assalamualaikum W.B.T,

It been a while since the last update of this blog. Today, im typing this post to share the passion that i have on Oakley Frogskins. Its quite amazing and awesome to have this kind of items on your own. Of course not only because of the price, but the satisfaction from having it is the most important thing for me.

On March 2011, i bought a piece of Frogskin Collectors Edition. The Smog Text for RM5++, than a few weeks later i manage to bid the Ice Blue VL lens from E-bay with help of frogskins collector that cost me about Rm2++. So the total price that i need to invest to have a piece of eyewear from Oakley with an ice blue lens is about RM7++. But its ok, the important thing is the feeling when im wearing it.

Nice isn'it??

The Smog Text is the 3rd generation frogskin produced by Oakley. The next aim of mine is Jupiter Frogskin Camo. Im looking forward to own it.

Oakley Jupiter Frogskin Camo Limited Edition. (Coming Soon)

Nice isn't it?

Its not hard to find cool and creative advertisement now days..But one of them is up there..
When i first look at the ad, i smiled and i never ever thought of that.... Eating wafer scene could be advertised on the bus.. To me, its quite interesting and attractive...

In the image we can see that, before the door open, a man was eating a wafer and the wafer was long at the first...And slowly we can see that the wafer became small like the man is already putting the wafer in his mouth in just one bite..Suite the quote of the ad..."Just in one bite"..

Really awesome and i think if there's a creative ads competition, ill just give 5 star for this...
