Finding inspiration within a well known 80s heavy metal album cover, Encino-based Primitive work up a new collaboration alongside Oakley, utilizing the eyewear brands classic Frogskin model. The sunglasses feature a gradient colorway, fading from black to purple, midnight blue, and eventually a clear finish. Along with special Primitive “P” logos on the detachable arms, the shades will come fully equipped with an additional set of arms and a custom silk screened bag, further emphasizing the theme which was conceived by Jubal Jones and the rest of the Primitive team. Look for these to drop in the coming Summer months, exclusively through Primitive.

    its getting hard to keep up with all the dope frogskins coming out. As for the Guy talking about Oakleys are wack, why not go put on Your aviators with the Gold frames that make you look like an extra from Miami Vice or Chips.

    I’m gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say that “heavy metal album inspiration” would definitely be from Metallica’s Ride the Lightning album. Hence, the lightning blots on the bag and the shade of color matches that album cover.
