Got this forwarded from Shadestation. Only 15 will be created.



They won't tell what's inside yet, but given the title on the front, I would wonder if it's similar to the one shown at Distruptive by Design

According to the post I just saw on the AU site its just the box, with 3 pairs of sunnies. One of each model in your choice of color combo. Nothing else was mentioned and a price around 840.

pretty disappointing if this information is correct.

Is it bad that I don't even care about the glasses, I just want the dogtags?

Eleanor got back to me with some additional information. As we thought, it's a choice system where one of each Heritage collection items is included along with some promo artwork:

http://www.shadestation.co.uk/campaign/Oakley-Heritage-Collectors-Box.html

Shade Station are celebrating Oakley’s 30th anniversary of performance eyewear in style. For a limited time only, and exclusive to Shade Station, we present you with this remarkable Heritage Collectors Box. There are only 15 available worldwide and Shade Station has them all. With such an iconic and breathtaking collection these won’t be available for long, so act fast if you want to get your hands on 1 of the 15.

Each Heritage Collectors Box Set will include 1 of each model - Eyeshade, Razor Blade and Frogskins. We are giving you the opportunity to select 1 of each model to include in your very own box set. Each frame includes collectible extras such as a collector’s pin, stickers and a custom Microclear bag. This is the perfect chance to own a great collection of Oakley’s history dating right back to 1984 when Jim Jannard created the worlds first performance eyewear the Eyeshade’s.

The Eyeshade collection has been re-launched this year especially for Oakley's 30th year anniversary. Though the look may be very similar as back in the 80’s, the technology has been improved massively. Each frame comes with two sets of earstems – one curved and one straight to fit in with your daily needs. As with any Sports Performance frame, this frame has the Oakley 3-point-fit and the nosepiece construction has been improved to give a better fit alongside added comfort.

By 1985 the Frogskins, an iconic lifestyle frame, came to life. It was Oakley’s very first dual lens design and it is still highly sought after and just as popular today as it was then. Oakley has used one of their earlier logos along with contrast earstems and a frame right from sunglass history to produce these retro heritage inspired Frogskins.

To complete this trio Oakley has included Razor Blades sunglasses which were first released in 1987. A truly revolutionary piece of performance eyewear that was the first customisable sunglass of its time along with a performance tool that allowed to adapt to changing light conditions.

Actually from a UK point of view, its just oakley uk retail price for the three glasses only you get the box for free!
Example... eyeshade =£160 razor blade =£165 (fire option and ice) and frogskin =£130 (fire and ice models) so total is £455 which is the shade station price! Ive found oakley uk so much cheaper than u.s at retail. Another example is the MW money clip, for u.s is $50, uk £18. So with the exchange rate its £30 when converted! Madness but im not complaining!

That's not too bad. In 2011, I remember UK prices being the same numerical value just in GBP vs USD, AND there was a roughly 2:1 exchange rate.

yet the MW divot tool is more expensive in the UK than in the US so surprising the money clip is so cheap but i cannot find it on oakley UK at the moment.

Would be cooler if the boxes were clear so you could actually see the glasses.
