I know of two friends that made it to the London In Residence event; and from what I recall of the photos, there was no hand painted eyewear. The theme of the event in LA was different from the one in London, the cancelled event in NYC, and the last event in Sydney.
The event in LA was around skateboarding with an emphasis on the photography/filming of the skateboard scene in LA and the impact it had on skating. The event was and artist style event showing short films, photos, art, and sessions focusing on those aspects of skating.
Then they tied in the artists from Girl Skateboards to design the flags & skate decks... and then the eyewear was painted match/coordinate with each. It only last 16 days, and then the space was shut down; 1st week was film art focus, 2nd week was photo art focus.
Here is what I am aware of, in the order they took place surrounding their #OneObsession & #LiveYours campaign: (all of which were supposed to be around Oakley's return to sport; the sports that helped define Oakley.)
LA In Residence - Skateboarding : 2 week event; studio & pop-up skate park that celebrates the culture of skateboarding. (April & May 2015)
-Custom Microbag (very limited quantities)
-White Screen Print Shirt (had to be invited/attend the SGH/Oakley event)
Here's my collection from the event... (The skate deck was purchased later, the mini flag (there was only 1 of each flag from what I was told) & Wilshire Rail staff shirt was a gift from the person running the event and not promo items, the white shirt/box/armband/tickets were from the SGH/Oakley event I was invited to, and then there is the Microbag that was the only real promo item)
London In Residence - Cycling : 3 month event focus on the sport with cycling workshops, film events, & group rides from the event. (June, July, & August 2015)
-Custom Microbag (appeared there were more quantities than LA)
-Bike Tool
-Musette
-Cycling Kit/Jersey (didn't get too many details on this, but had to attend/sign-up for event from what I understand)
Here's my collection from the event... (all gifts from friends and what I understand to all be promo items, except the shirt which is from the London O Store.)
NYC In Residence - Baseball : Not many details, but the rumor was the tie to baseball in NYC. We've since witnessed Oakley pulling their presence/store out of Yankee Stadium, closing Angles Stadium O Store, and I am hearing (no confirmation) that the presence/store at Rangers Stadium has been pulled.
-From what I was told, nothing ever made it to printing for this event.
The above were the 3 initial events Oakley had planned, with the LA Event was a last minute addition. I haven't heard a definitive reason why, but rumor was Lux cancelled the NYC Event.
And then this last event was announced; seemed to be a last minute thing...
Sydney In Residence - Skateboarding : 1 month event celebrating the creativity within and the culture of skateboarding. And the timeline was around the release of the Latch with Kevin Koston, Sean Malto, Curren Caples & Atiba Jefferson. (November 2015)
-From my understanding, no promo items were made/printed for this event.
