First introduced in 1985 and originally available in over 50 colors, the Oakley Frogskin sunglass was a part of the 80’s pop culture, a time like no other. Ronald Reagan was in the White House, “The Terminator” was in the box office and Run-D.M.C. was certified gold. We have resurrected the original tooling from the early ’80s to produce new limited editions, giving today’s culture a chance to own a piece of history.
WHY NOW, IN 2007?
The answer is simple; the people who wore them when they were younger really loved the style
of the Frogskin and are now in a position of making decisions in the workplace. It’s not simply a
re-release of an older sunglass model; it’s a coming of age for many of the youth who loved
Frogskins, and who are now making decisions here at Oakley. It’s an exciting release for many of
us here who love keeping things fun and young. This product applies to those who appreciate the
fine art of innovation; skaters, surfers, musicians, people who are setting the pace in today’s world
of style. You’ll find that many of those who will purchase these newly released Frogskins will be
those who owned a pair when they were younger and are amped to have them back.
For each original color combination of this coveted style, only 3,000 Collectors Editions 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.
