🦘List of Rarest Non-Frogskin Oakleys

[cacatman]

It was commented on by @BigRabbit that other than any designers/Oakley bigwigs who may or may not have kept them - that only 5 were released into the wild. Three of them have signed tags. If BR said it, I believe it.

Thanks for that!

Updated.

22. Prototype brown juliets (3 were signed) - 5 pairs (@BigRabbit, @Oakley Sydney)

What about the blue rizla Suzuki Troy lee designs Jupiter lx supposedly only 200 made and sold at a Moto GP race? @GRFMotorsports or @Plum21 can you confirm?

That pair (for me) was pretty easy to obtain.

I totally agree that they hardly come up. I saw one on ebay 2 years ago.

But there's many reasons why a pair may not be seen for sale. Rarity is just one factor.

The Freeman Transport Jawbones weren't particularly rare (30 produced), but because they were given to employees (ie the non collecting) public, very very few survived. On the other hand, the pairs that were less numerous (but auctioned) eg blends frogskins were sold for high prices. Because of their initial high value and the fact that they were picked up by collectors, they tend to be well maintained.

Also, the reason the Rizla (specifically) isn't on the list is because I don't have any confirmed numbers that I've seen from anyone.

You say there were 200 made. But who did you hear/read that from? I'm happy to list it provisionally, but I'm not keen if you are unsure of the number.

Pretty sure the 2 people I tagged were ones I’ve heard it from before or maybe it was another member he had a full face helmet as an avatar I don’t remember his name something “racing”

I bought a pair as well. But it had scratches on the lenses and no cardbox box.

The lenses are pretty cool black-blue gradient I’ve never seen any other Oakley’s with that lens either
