History Oakley Frogskins

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 screen printed 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.

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. Oakley are also doing smaller releases as well by collaborating with companies such as SUPREME, Grenade Gloves, and Gentei.... these editions are ultra rare Oakley. Once supplies are gone, they’re gone forever. Get them while you can.
