We all know Oakley's Frogskins are severely radical. I can remember purchasing my first pair in Miami with a couple of the gentlemen, we all got different colourways, walked out onto Lincoln St, cruised past all the people drinking afternoon mojitos, took a right down Ocean Drive, and felt pretty damn cool (see photo below, regardless of whether I actually look cool, I felt like the Fresh Prince). The best part was that this was when they were re-released in 2007 and you couldn't get them in Australia yet so all the boys back home were frothing to get their hands on a pair, which they eventually did, but the bandwagon sign was already posted up (and there's nothing worse than thinking you're fresh then finding out your friends knew about it ages ago).
For those lovers for all skin that is froggy James Jarrett, a bloke with time, patience, and an even greater appreciation for shades than Miles Davis, has posted his collection of Frogskins online for $38,000. The set of around 70 includes a full set Supreme kits, Kaws bangers, Joel Madden's personal pair plus the rarest Frogskin on the market - The Eastern Boarder 3D (limited to only six pairs in the world). For an interview with the guy and his motivation and strategy behind the collection, check here.
Here's some of the fly'er of the collection
