Blacklight Black Frogskins

Oakley Beginner
I was totally sure I wanted Matte Black w/ Violet, until I tried a pair of these on. Much more subtle, and frankly the +Red is far cooler than I had hoped.

And since I had the camera out, Wildberries I was trying to shift, and my seen before White w/Gold Iridium just because we all love pictures of frogs ^^

Nice pickup man. Unfortunately I got rid of my blacklight black. Not entirely though since I took the positive red lens and stuck it in my smog plaid :)
 
Very nice I was going to buy the blacklight black ones when they first came out but I decided to get the blacklight blue/orange since they were diffrenent from what I already have.
 
@Jive I was actually gonna pop the grey in them for a while after seeing the ones you sold ;)

My favourites are the green/grey but I'm afraid I'm just not hipster enough to pull that off. Plus I wanted a frog that was low key, and I could wear around London in the winter without looking like a complete ****. Sitting on the tube with that low winter sun finally got to me.

@Peeza The bag was the final deciding factor over the matte black xD
 
I personally feel that oakley's aren't hipsterish. Do hipsters wear oakleys? Sure, but I think they have more of a surf style. Leave the ray bans for the hipsters.
 
Froghog 9/10 times I'd agree with you, but unfortunately most people won't go "Awesome frogs" - they'll see a pair of green Wayfarer like glasses. I may as well ride past on a fixie in a pair of skinny chinos :laugh:

Oakley for me do carry the connotation of the Surf/Skate/Snow scene (Oakley spends $$$ on marketing it as such for a reason), but seeing as I live nowhere near the coast or any mountains, and I prefer 2 wheels over 4 - just not for me.
 
I got the blacklight blue/orange as well but rarely wear it anymore. I really want a pair of wild berries! And i didn't like the matte black/violet but i popped in the lens from my blacklight and now i have a matte black/fire :dance3:
