When I was growing up in Los Angeles, the city had both the Raiders and the Rams. There wasn’t much debate about whose town it was.
Is there a better dressed team in all of sports? Better dressed fans?
The Silver and Black. Commitment to Excellence. Bo knows. Ice Cube knows. The Raiders have struggled in recent memory, to say the least. But it’s pre-season and everyone’s a contender!
Here it is. This is the one you’ve all been waiting for. The STPL x Oakley FROGSKINS! In pop culture, it was a time like no other. Ronald Reagan was in the White House, “The Terminator” was in the box office and Run-D.M.C. was certified gold. It was also the time when Oakley created the FROGSKINS. Oakley resurrected the original tooling from the early ’80s to produce new limited editions, giving you a chance to own a piece of history. For each Frogskin, limited quantities will be produced. Once supplies are gone, the window of opportunity will be closed forever!
As a part of The History of Oakley collaboration we did, each of the other 5 styles are directly connected to a sport. But the Frogskin was the first Oakley design that was directed at a lifestyle, rather than a particular sport. Hence, we decided to design it with our lifestyle in mind—i.e., The Pigeon.
Splat! Splat! Splat!
The frame features two tones of grey and the first time ever a translucent plastic was used on the Frogskin. Looks sick! Our little Pigeon mascot is laser etched on the lens. The CEO of Oakley said, “This is the best Frogskin ever designed. Period.”
Interior hit.
Uh-oh…we got hit. Lucky us.
Boo-yah! For now only available at Reed Space and in extremely limited quantities.
The Oakley Holbrook is part of our 3rd drop in The History of Oakley Collaboration that started at the beginning of this long, hot summer! The Holbrook is Shaun White’s signature model which was designed with his bro, Jesse who acts as Creative Director for Shaun’s projects. Therefore, it only made sense to take inspiration from the snowsport he excels in.
The name “Holbrook” came from a small town found along historic Route 66 in Arizona that sits on the outskirts of the painted desert and the petrified forest. It’s a classic western badland that epitomizes a spirit of exploration and adventure found in those traveling along Highway 66 in the 50’s and 60’s.
STPL x Oakley Holbrook.
Please note lens color on final production is Chrome Iridium Silver and it looks dope. Red metal bolts accents the front frame.
This Holbrook features a white halftone gradient fade. Starts off solid white at the front, then fades to clear at the earstems—like you’re floating through the perfect powder stash!
Interior hit.
It’s available today at Reed Space as well as select Oakley Flagships and Oakley.com.
I did a whole bunch of interviews in Tokyo to help spread the word on the Oakley collaboration we did which drops later in Japan (Sept-October). I love doing press in Japan! They are so thorough, considerate, polite and organized. I actually enjoy their questioning…it usually just turns into a casual conversation.
Here’s some shots from the interview I did with Warp Magazine. Look at the organization! They came with the layout sketched up before the Q+A even started!
And of course, showing me test polaroids right on the shoot. Very dope of them…
Thanks to the Oakley Japan team as well as all the editors who took the time to talk with me! (Hidden Champion Magazine, Warp Magazine, Colorfarm Magazine, Eyescream Magazine and Honeyee Mag…)
This Tweet of the Week goes to Paul Rivera from Nike NYC. I’m not a proponent of violence, but I do agree with this tweet 100%. If you are going to be violent—do it once—and do it completely—because you probably won’t get a second chance. I thought this photo worked perfectly with the tweet.
“Strike quickly, forcefully & as violently as possible”
This is not exactly a new video, but I came across this again today while trying to de-frag my brain from staring at the same thing for too long (a.k.a. procrastination break). Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Co.’s expressive commentary on the current trends of American graphics culture. Fitting I thought as I’ve been seeing a trend of the “Vintage Americana” or a revival [of a sense] of “craft” across various sectors (but not limited to) of design practices. I can relate to his sentiments quite a lot because I still do more than 50% of my work by hand, and I really appreciate seeing old objects where you can actually see evidence that a real person made it, and it’s a wonderful thing. Old doesn’t mean it’s not worth keeping and new doesn’t make it better.
