The silly part is anyone could make this pair. I actually have all the parts nessesary here. It may be a release but to how many there are is up in the air.

They are beautiful but it seems they have seen better days. Great looking pair for sure.Missing the BMX chrome Jawbones. I’d like to replace my mangled ones if anyone has.. how rare are these do we think?
Silver iridium lenses, livestrong socks.

This is what I think they were originally.
Jawbone BMX Chrome (Vented) / Jade / +Red / Violet Iridium
Because I am sceptical they are an Oakley sanctioned release, I'd need to see some more supporting evidence before putting it on the list. If it came with a BMX bag, then I think that would definitely prove it was someone's custom homage piece. I've not seen or heard of a Livestrong release like this.
Perhaps some of the other Jawbone collectors I know might be able to comment on authenticity @SoulFulFrog, @RacingJacketFAN, @the_owl, @Patient_Cero, @Oakster, @pjd1234,
@Raptor (from South Africa) apparently made a "Livestrong" BMX one Cacatman's Jawbone/Racing Jacket Collection
Well, I think that’s probably proof enough for me even if it is easy (although expensive) to replicate.The only thing I question, is the "Oakley" written on the icon as it appears in his photo, unless that is chipped paint... Not sure if it was actually released, but Lance did wear a pair like this in 2010 with Team Radioshack.

Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle. This pair is now IN!!In conclusion, I’m certain (I hope!) they are original and not customs. Yes @cacatman you could replicate with the bits, nothing on the frame to differentiate from another BMX Chrome set.
That photo is from the 2010 Tour of California - the beginning of the end for him... I think that’s the only race he wore them at.
I have the m frame and the jawbone
The hybrid s versionWhich m frame? There is 3 of them
Technically 4 since the one style hybrid has independent, yet identical, official Oakley numbered piece.Which m frame? There is 3 of them
