I should Work at Oakley
I am hoping some members can combine factual knowledge about the 2012 releases known as 'Heaven and Hell', and collate that information within this thread. The reason I am interested in this is due to the lack of detail about the series so far. Other threads can be considered about other sets of sunglasses, where facts and opinions can be posted which can prove useful as a future reference. I will start with some basics, initially of course to list the pieces of interest:
DISPATCH II - Matte Black - Fire OO9150-10
- Matte Black - Ice OO9150-11
FROGSKINS - Matte Black - Fire 24-323
- Matte Black - Ice 24-324
HOLBROOK - Matte Black - Fire OO9102-27
- Matte Black - Ice OO9102-28
PLAINTIFF - Matte Black - Fire OO4057-13
- Matte Black - Ice OO4057-14
As far as I know, none of the worldwide Oakley sites have had these items listed, which creates the question as to which countries were suppliers. I am aware that none of these were available at the O Stores, at least in the UK. So far the facts are that these were available within the USA, Canada, and UK in select stores, any other countries? On a wider scale, available in Africa? Asia? Australia? South America? Europe? I cannot find any data within the Community and Collectors Edition's section on the Oakley site about these glasses, so where is the information that correctly describes these as 'Heaven and Hell'? Additionally, prior to that term, I had heard them referred to as the 'Fire and Ice' Collection, so were these titles given by Oakley themselves or are these just unofficial terms? Does anybody know the quantities released of each pair? Can these be considered genuine limited editions? If so what evidence is there to support that?
The boxes for Frogskins were the normal plastic ones, however the other six were issued in a mix of brown square o boxes and the black and white generic boxes, with the same red/blue microbag used with each pair comprising the collection. The labels mention nothing about Heaven or Hell, or Fire and Ice Collection. There is also another release, the Jupiter Squared - Matte Black - Fire OO9135-13 released also this year that appears to belong to the same set but I have not seen confirmation of that, although I have seen a photo but the glass had a normal black microbag, suggesting it was a random but similar issue, can anyone confirm further information about this glass? I would be very interested to read the input from you about these so let the posts roll ladies and gentlemen....
