I should Work at Oakley
Having today received the Acid Tortoise Green - Black P 24-367, and the two Mastermind pairs (24-379 & 24-380), the total number of Frogskins in the collection has now reached 150. I had started collecting these since their inception in 2007 and had several motives to keep up with the releases, including the association with many exclusive, limited, and signature pieces. The somehow childlike character and simple design became more appealing to me over time, the collecting allure and the sheer volume of insanely rare examples seemingly created to appeal to the serious collector, meant this model formed a major contribution to my collection. They can be displayed without even taking them out of the boxes and make for easy storage being small items, many have unique frame colours and microbags and most people can pull them off, young or old, male or female, it is an iconic legendary style that will stand the test of time. I don't think anyone has a complete set, but I aim to get as close as I can, which would be effectively achieved if I can acquire any of the following....can anybody help?

It will be interesting to see how much further Oakley go with Frogskins, maybe having made so many the demand seems to have subsided, maybe it would increase if production stopped as it appears to have done with the X Metal range. Whatever happens, the model will always be a major part in the history of the brand.
