I was a late bloomer to splices. I am so glad I have the ones that I do. Easily one of my top favorite o-matter designs. I didn't care much for them until I saw a flickr photo of a pair broken down. I didn't even know that they were screwed together in pieces. The first time I held a pair I thought to myself, how did I miss the boat on these? They were long out of production by the time I got my first pair. Then they got addictive. Those juan pablo's are my favorite though. That blue chrome just pops.

I think Dann's enthusiasm for them is responsible for creating 3/4 of the Splice's fanbase.

im searching for some vintage:

razor blade
factory pilot
gen2 frogskin

any one got anything they can cough up

Aren't we all my friend!

We've seen glasses like this before, but I thought I'll post another one. I've always loved the logo placement. Great for athletes and the majority was indeed for them. There have been decal placements at the bottom of the orbitals as well, and that's another interesting location.

They paid homage with the STPL release, it seems.

Are these a real first Gen. Frogskin? Look like the left arm has been repaired to.

I find that pair suspect (fake). The spacing between the words "Oakley" and "frogskins" is unusually close"; the font is unusual as well; the spacing and type of stud/hinges on the earstem is abnormal (both on the outside and inside).

Thank you Oak for the information I appreciate it

The tabs that connect to the frame are usually rounded too, not flat and squared off.
