Description
Kick it old-school.
Way back in the '80s when pink spandex was king, people scrambled to find a pair of Oakley Frogskin Sunglasses. And whether you choose to go for the Shaun White sigs or for a polished pro, the Frogskins will block those harmful UV rays as you stroll down the street with a ghetto-blaster on your shoulder.

I can't say much about these that hasn't already been said. The retro cool factor is there, the Oakley lens quality is there, but I can't really say they seem like a hundred-dollar pair of sunglasses. I'd still recommend them if the price doesn't bother you. They're very comfortable and, well, just plain cool. One thing I can add: I have the Polished Rootbeer version, and the frames seem considerably darker in person than they look on the website. Not sure if that applies to all of them, but there ya go.

Took these to Hawaii this April and they beat everything the islands had to throw at 'em! Lenses cover exceptionally well and they just look sick all over!! I'm in agreement with the integrity of the arms over time but if you're not getting into crazy amounts of trouble you should be just fine.
Cheaply made

Nice looking glasses but the construction is not well made. Like some of the other reviews state, the ball construction is a nice idea as opposed to breaking but how many other pairs of glasses have the arms come off all the time anyway?
Awesome!

A little pricey but I love these! They feel very secure no matter what I'm doing. Very rugged and go back together easily.
Frogkins Quality is questionable

I guess I'm just a little taken back by all the positive reviews. I agree these are a stylish classic. But coming from someone who has owned Natives and Costa's I'm a little disappointed. The arms pop off frequently which may seem like a handy feature (as opposed to breaking) but I have wonder how long it will be before the balls break down and they come off all the time. With that being said, the arms are cheap plastic, the lenses really aren't that great. I get bad glares. I guess its expensive to be cool these days but I'd take my money elsewhere if I could do it again.
Classically Hip

Too hung over to keep your eyes fully open? Throw these bad boys on and everyone will think you just left a meeting to decide what color to make your pro model snow skates. The material is not bombproof, but neither is your face, and let's face it... polarized shades are for richy-rich, baby-eyed, sensitive Sallys. Size is ideal for guys and hot babes alike.
Classic reborn!

I owned these back in the 80s - surprising that they're now 2x as much! I wish that they'd release the neon yellow/purple iridium that I had stolen from my car!
Thanks, Oakley, for making a great classic once again!

I have them, Your best friend most likely has/has had them(and he is REALLY COOL!) the girl you like has them, and your parents had them in the late 80s/90s, So the question really becomes "Why don't you have them?"
Can't justify paying the price.

I was stoked to finally get these glasses...until I took them out of box. The lenses are great - clear vision with little to no distortion. However, I would be scared to wear these anywhere besides my car. Plastic ball and joint construction does not warrant the money I paid. I love Oakley and they make a great product, but these glasses are 100% for fashion and 0% practicality. Returned.

These glasses make you look so good your girlfriend will even look better just standing next to you.
Really light glasses, but still pretty durable although construction is basic.
Sort of narrow fitting on my wide head, but that doesn't bother me too much.
Violet lens is a little light for really bright days, but overall great
Good for the Ladies, too!

These glasses are awesome! When I first bought them I was wishing I had got the polarized instead, but now I have totally fallen in love with my Rootbeer pair. Good steezy sun-blockage.
Look Good in these suckers!

The classic boxy look of these glasses makes me look good. Real good. The lenses rock, the fit is great, what more do you need from some sunglasses? Oakley nailed it again.
Too much money to justify.
Johnathan Rambo

I like these glasses a lot, super lite, stylish and aesthetically appealing. When I got them they were a lot lighter than I had expected them to be, but that is ok, they are pretty flexible, so I don't feel like they are going to break when I drop them. Other than the price tag, I can't say to much negative about them.
Brandon Peterson
Member since
you realize that oakley has ridiculous technology going into the lenses right? they are shatterproof. You can literally shoot the lenses with a gun and they wont break.
Johnathan Rambo
Member since
That is simply not true. While in the service we shot numerous .223 rounds at some Wiley X ballistic lens glasses, Oakley M Frames and some undisclosed Maui Jim's (old and donated from the lot of us) and the 223's pierced every single lens if not shattered. On deployment we did a lot of product testing to combat the boredom at times and just to test stuff out. You are right though Oakley does have some ok lenses, not Maui Jim quality but pretty good lenses. Most of their frames are pretty solid as well. If your a fan that's great. I was simply just stating my opinion about this model and hope you can respect that as I respect your opinion. I own some Oakley glasses for Mountain biking and they are great, but with these I just can't justify the price tag.
great!!

Not at all. The ski-bum chicks in Summit County rock these all over the place. Whether you want to look like them is up to you.
Just like the originals

After losing my early 90s frogskins, the black/purple ones are back, and I couldn't be happier. Really classic glasses
