Check out the last but one image and hover over it to zoom in on the serial number.
009013-14 Which is supposed to be in the "Heaven & Earth" collection to be released this October.
Frame color: Matt Fern
Lens color: Jade Iridium Polarized
Well folks, legit or fake???

They have them listed as Aspen. They look legit, but I'm no Frog guy.

Ugly frame color, IMO, regardless.

 

[Oakley Veteran]

Are they just listing it as "Aspen" because they don't know what the frame color actually is?
"New with no box", so no box, no proper description? I'm just guessing.

I saw that they're releasing sapphire iridium with the next refresh...

People get prototype or early release pairs all the time, they have no bag or box tho...

You're correct about the SKU tho, or else I'd have thought someone swapped out the lenses of a Summit edition frog... Ima agree with with @Rustpot when he said they ain't that pretty... The matte blue w/sapphire looks like a much nicer pair...

Yeah, be nice to see what that looks like when it's out...

Where did you see those?

@ My local O Vault, I asked to see their next release preview book thing. They're always happy to flip through the pages with me... Often I'll ask that they hold a few aside & call me when they're in. Do that once or twice and they get you're a collector. Be a nice guy in the meantime, shake their hand when you come in, learn their names and watch the red carpet roll out...

Saw that book too. Can't wait for the sapphire lens to drop.

Yeah, used to do similar at our only TRUE vault in the U.K. (Cheshire Oaks). Phone them/visit them enough, be nice and they soon learn you're an easy sale .
Oakley U.K. though used to be the best believe it or not, before all the Luxottica changes. Su McAneny, the customer services manageress did me sooooo many favors for stuff I couldn't find, it's un-true. Ah the good 'ol days.....
