Quick Take: Oakley, from Luxottica, and STAPLE have joined together to release a limited edition collection of three Frogskins. This is the first of a two-part product collaboration, with part 2 to be released later this year.
Specifics: Oakley and STAPLE first collaborated in 2010, and this release brings back one of those original styles in addition to introducing two new styles. The three styles are Frogskins STAPLE XXV OG, Frogskins STAPLE XXV Black, and Frogskins STAPLE XXV Panda, and all three are made of a lightweight O Matter material. The OG colorway pays tribute to the original collaboration and features Prizm Dark Golf lenses alongside the heritage STAPLE logo. The black colorway includes Prizm Ruby lenses, and the black and white Panda colorway is accented by Prizm Jade lenses. The temples of all three sunglasses depict STAPLE’s iconic Pigeon logo.
Selling Point: Jeff Staple, Founder of STAPLE & Reed Art Department, said, “For this special collection, we blended the unique DNA of STAPLE and Oakley to create a new ‘species’ of Frogskins. The visual design elements reference my first ever Oakley collab from back in 2010, reimagined with new technology and innovation – like only they can do. Now with new Prizm lens colors and lightweight frames, we’re excited to bring the Pigeon and Frog back together again.”
