Oakley Frogskins

Aside from making sunglasses that keep you at the top of your game in all-or-nothing sporting environments, Oakley also make sunglasses that ensure you stay one step ahead of the game when it comes to style. Enter the new Oakley Frogskins, a modern take on a timeless Oakley classic.

The original Frogskins frame made a big splash back in the eighties, offering a high-tech dimension to the original Wayfarer frame. This new incarnation of the Frogskins comes with all of Oakley's latest, cutting-edge technology whilst keeping the elements of style that made the eighties version an instant classic.

Over the years, Oakley has become known for making shades that blend innovation with on-trend styling in every sunglass, and the lenses in the Frogskins frame come equipped with High Definition Optics (HDO) for unbeatable clarity of vision.

With the Frogskins, Oakley captures all of the fashionable versatility of the original fifties Wayfarer in a featherweight frame, and the overall design of the frame has been kept sleek and minimalist, giving the frame a hint of Oakley's renowned athletic style. The sunglass is superbly finished, with the legendary Oakley logo proudly adorning the temple.

Oakley has also provided these bold sunglasses with the option of Iridium coating, which tunes light transmission and reduces glare. The Frogskins also comes complete broad range of colours, allowing you to tailor your sunglasses to suit your look.

Luxurious comfort has been engineered into the Frogskins frame in the form of Oakley's three-point fit system. This adds a sporty, lightweight touch to these sunglasses whilst providing a luxurious fit.

These ground-breaking sunglasses prove that when it comes to creating fashionable shades, Oakley stand at the very summit. With a broad colour palette and Oakley's inimitable approach to functionality, the Frogskins are prefect for bringing technical style to your everyday look.

Unobtainium grips means the sunglasses will stay where you want them and with at least 600 other patents Oakley is nothing like you’ve ever seen and nothing like you’ve ever worn.

And at Sunglasses Shop we’ve been fans of Oakley sunglasses since it first came to us all those years ago. Oakley’s blend of science and art means we can stock some of the best known and best loved sunglasses in performance and lifestyle eyewear.

The Story of Oakley Sunglasses

For Oakley, it all started with a mad-scientist Jim Jannard. He believed that everything could be made better. In 1975 Jim started out with just $300 and made a motorbike handgrip made from a uniquely new material, Unobtainium. It fitted the rider’s hand better than anything before it. It actually increased grip with sweat too.

Next came Jim’s real breakthrough. The O-Frame goggle, with its perfectly cylindrical arc, stayed on the MX scene for the next 17 years. Riding stars championed the goggles’ clarity and wide peripheral view.

The first Oakley sunglasses were Eyeshades and Tour de France cyclist Greg Lemond loved the protection it offered and was the first pro to approach Oakley.
Today Oakley is the mark of excellence for those who cannot compromise on performance. The designs blend technology and with more than 600 patents. It’s become a science at Oakley, but a science that’s combined with art to produce some of the best engineered sunglasses on the planet.

These days many regard Oakley’s research and development method as second to none and perhaps that’s their secret. But don’t take our word for it (well actually you should because we are the experts) but Oakley are worn by the elite for a reason. But you don’t need to be the best of the best to get the best.

Why Choose Oakley Sunglasses?

Oakley’s technology is immense too. The High Definition Optics (HDO) are unrivalled in their clarity. Your eyes won’t shift as they readjust their focus as can happen with inferior lenses, and you get the best impact protection too. And it’s not just in the lens, the frame will hold up just as well.  As we said, there's 600 patents and more.

A huge choice of lens tints gives you balanced light transmission for wherever your sport takes you; can improve depth perception or colour recognition and come in polarised, photochromic options. Iridium coatings will help with harmful UV and infra red and many are prescription friendly too.

Oakley redefine, transcend and reject convention.
