    I’m looking at the valentino rossi Black frames with Fire Iridium lenses, £68 on amazon prime.

    Got too be cool, no?

    My first ever Oakleys back in 1995 were crystal black frames with violet iridium lenses so that’s my vote!

    Still got mine, frames are a kind of light purple crystal with purple lenses.I love ’em. Wife hates ’em, thinks I look like a knobber. Which I probably do, but I DGAF these days, they just brign back good memories of the Malvern classic.

    Picked up a pair of these at an Oakley outlet in Orlando for $29, they’re great for off the bike casual.

    I’d love to find my Bronze Mirror and Rootbeer frame originals that are lost somewhere in a loft box at one or other of my parents houses.

    My wife laughed at Black Fire Iridium, so now I’m think Black Violet Iridium forms slightly more subtle tone.

    I’m surprised this is even being discussed as a thing at all. There is no other colour to get Frogskins in..

    Black with Grey lens.

    METAL HINGES!

    I left my pair on a brunette in France. She was from Leamington Spa. Called Clare. For all her attributes, I still regret that.

    Mrs K has ruined everything. Not only had she reminded me school fees are due, she’s rummaged in the shed an pulled out a pair of radar-a-like Smith Optics with Crystal frames and green polarised lenses and said “there you go, wear those in the pits on top of your head and save yourself £90”

    Gotta love Wives eh… :-/

    I have some in the colour no eyed deer posted. Always wanted some. Bought them in Las Vegas a few years ago. I dropped them last week and scratched the lenses. Still gutted now!

    Anyone tried the replacement “Revant” lenses on Amazon? Otherwise, it’s fuse from Merak’s suggestion.
    Found a pair from the early Nineties, but the orange lenses are scratched to bugg@ry.

    Still got my pair from the early 90’s. Very different shape to the new ones. Rootbeer with gold iridium lenses if I recall
