Gen 2 Matte Red Frogskins

[Frogskins]

I guess the question is, "does every authentic Frogskins have a sku number on it?"

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe the answer is no.

The reason I say that is because rep samples for instance, don't have a sku number, and they are legit.

I remember when the Old Glories came out ... there were pairs with a sku number (pairs sold in stores) and there were quite a few without sku numbers (rep samples as well as pairs given to athletes.)

I have a pair of Crystal Red Frogs that I purchased from a member here. At first I thought they were fake - no sku number and the hinges were different (I posted a thread about them.)

I had to apologize to the guy because they turned out to be legit (they were given to a friend of his that was on an Oakley ski team.)

So my point is, if everything else looks and feels good, I wouldn't worry to much about the pair not having a sku number.

Hope this helps ...

(PS - As long as the word Oakley on your pair is in white font, I'd say it's real ...)

Sorry to bring back this thread but I just bought a pair of matte red frogs from a trusted seller on ebay. For some reason I've had nothing but bad luck with any matte red pairs. I won't get into that though lol. It's Weird same thing happened to me with these. I was totally expecting to see the sku 03-147. Nothing.... everything looks perfect other than that. My lenses fit perfectly and even the box and paper work look legit. Has anyone else experienced this on older frogs. Ex. The matte red. I also have a pair of polished white with ruby same deal no sku. It's just concerning.....but perhaps I've scored a rare pair as @Frogskins has stated. Athlete pairs. Any other information please chime in. I'll post pictures shortly.

Thanks in advance

White with no sku is probably an ocp pair...no idea on the red

2nd gen is plenty early enough to be before they started putting SKUs on.

Looks pukka. Are the lenses dodgy or do you have any problems with them? From the photos, they look glorious. Genuine.

@Carrera1963 op was incorrect these are third gen

Because they came in opaque boxes...........................for second gen.The black diagonal hatching box.
