wow... great stuff guys!

Thanks for sharing

My parents went to Winstar Casino in OK this weekend and my Mom told me she saw an O cup as a free gift when you made a purchase. She didn't get me details on how much, but she may go again this weekend.

Great tip. Convince her to go again so we can get pics!

Very cool stuff! Love the test tube.

Maybe some here have seen this rep exclusive bag together with garage rock. The glasses is the same as the kolohe without sku but with special etching on the lens

Nice, I haven't seen that bag before.

That bag reminds me of the exclusive science set.

Brian Takumi is now VP Brand Creative at Oakley

Anyone here care to post their prototypes for everyone to appreciate? I am relatively new to collecting and would love to see your treasures.. those would relatively be something new to me. thanks in advanced..

Just have a few that are true prototypes. Usually they fall into one of two categories: either an in-house test, or an athlete sample.

My hand painted Flying Tiger Oil Rig is a test of the color scheme, which later was used on the Gascan. There's also a Yellow hand painted Gascan, and two blue Hijinx.


These two are athlete samples. Usually identical to production models, but with varying color schemes.



This might also fall under the same category, but I don't know the details.


This was one of 7 used to test the interest in flame patterns. A normal black pair was airbrushed and sold at the Irvine Spectrum store. After that, the flame pattern became a print.


And I still have no idea, nor any records of the Purple Cloud Frogskin. However the Bronze lens matches the options at the time.

is that a ruby clear on the new zero?

Regular ruby, but the intense curve just wasn't meant to have such a lens, since it rainbows too much.

Wow those are awesome but i got to tell that oil rig is a cut above for me... now i am salivating...

You and everyone else in the universe.

SIKK selfie!!!

Dann already knows if that Rig leaves his collection where it must go....:-). I want that thing so bad!

That Rig is beyond amazing...

It should be raffled so everyone gets a fair chance.. lol.. i want it so bad as well.. dang! Wonder they did not make it...

I'm guessing it was just a larger frame so the color scheme could show up better. Especially if done by hand, while the smaller gascan didn't need to be as large since the artwork was automated.

Anyone know something about a joker garage rock? The seller said it was custom made by oakley..

Yeah, Brian Takumi did a Dark Knight series. Here's the Frogskin:

Does that mean the joker garage rock was really done by oakley and not other customizers? How many were made? The frog looks awesome..

If I had to guess, it was an unofficial set of customs done by the designers. Its "made by Oakley" only so far as they were created by people who happened to work there.

Hey Bayani, I saw the auction for the GR as well and also had my doubts. It may be made by Oakley, it may not. Rule of thumb nowadays is "Fake (or custom in this case) until unequivocally proven real".
