Previewed a while back, this latest project from Hiroshi Fujiwara has seen him work together with his label fragment design and renowned eyewear label Oakley on the iconic Frogskin frames. The outcome has seen three renditions come to fruition with black, brown and green colorways highlighted by a strong tortoise shell-esque motif.

Recently spotted at the Sacai x fragment design pop-up store, you will be able to get them from Concept Shop in the near future.

Known for countless impressive projects so often coveted, Hiroshi Fujiwara has teamed up with Oakley through his brand fragment design. Applying his critique in a minimal way by adding the renowned lightening bolt logo to the arms next to the Oakley logo in a fluro green I am certain this will make for another compelling release.

One of the most memorable events outside of the Maloof Money Cup contest had to have been the Love & Guts: Thrasher 30th Anniversary exhibition presented by Oakley. The 1-night only event went down at the Red Bull Space in SoHo and similar to last month’s San Francisco show, it was largely photo-based, but with some exceptions. Being that this show went down in New York City, more NYC-centric photos were exhibited this time around as well as some pieces from Dennis McNett and new paintings from Lance Mountain. Like we said, this was a 1-night only event, so you will have to wait for the Washington D.C. and Southern California shows for you chance to see it. In the mean time, take a trip back via these photos of the show and video shot by famed skateboarding filmer Ricki Bedenbaugh.

Oakley have provided renowned online retailer Oki-Ni with a compelling canvas with this capsule collection making for welcoming news. First of the classic and much-loved Frogskin is reproduced here in a two-tone colourway with black and part transparent. In addition, the Eyeshade was Oakley’s first attempt at producing sunglasses, as they had previously only made goggles. This version of the face-hugging design features contrasting adjustable white arms and a fade on the lens – from more shaded at the top to nearly clear at the bottom.

Oakley have provided their renowned Frogskin frams as the canvas for a project with highly regarded Japanese retailer and brand Beams. With the original design largely left untouched, the most notable addition is the rainbow-esqu logo on the strong black frames.

The Oakley Frogskin shape is great, its simple and understated and easy to wear, and while the array of different make up’s and colourways have been great in recent times, this simple Amber Black with Iridium Polarized Lenses is just what we were after. To celebrate Tokyo skate label, Nitraid’s 6th Anniversary, we see this special version of Oakley’s classic Frogskin.

After a month or so of speculation, Oakley and Jeff Staple unveiled their collaborative collection at a special launch event at the Reed Space in New York City recently and now we would like to present you with a look at what transpired. The collection consists of six pieces: the Eyeshade, Razorblade, Frogskins, Radar, Jawbone and the Holbrook with each style being selected to illustrate the history of Oakley. The pairing of the retro and contemporary pieces do an amazing job of highlighting Oakley’s progression over their 35 year history and more importantly, they capture the essence of Oakley’s sport heritage.

In addition to the release of the collaboration — only the Eyeshade and Radar are available with the other 4 pieces to drop over the next two months — a mini-museum was constructed to showcase some of Oakley’s iconic 80s and 90s advertisements as well as a few highly detailed production sketches. DJ Just Blaze was also in the house adding to intense heat already in effect from the extremely humid weather. The Reed Space went from retail outlet, to museum, to sauna all within a matter of minutes, but thankfully people were able to tolerate it and enjoy the evening regardless.
