Frame: Carbon Fiber
Lens: Black Iridium
Uses the same frame and earpieces etc as the Blade,but introduces a slightly smaller lens for smaller faces.
Interchangeable everything made these super popular to customize.

Frame: White
Lens: Gray
These were my first pair of oakleys. I saved my money from cutting grass to pick them up at the sunglass hut in the mall back in the 80's. The interchangeable arms and nose pad were cool.Very comfortable to wear. I still have them in great condition in the box and with the receipt and all the extra parts. One day I may break them out and sport them.

Frame: Splatter
Lens:

They made several different colors of splatter. You could buy a kit with both the straight & trigger earpieces. There are the first generation with yellow, black & clear arms. Those have a teardrop type splatter pattern. The second generation has the orignal color top coated & then a sling type pattern with 2-3 different colors blended in. Fit perfectly in the freestyle bmx area around Rockville, MD during the mid-late eighties.

Frame: Jungle
Lens: Violet

The color is different from any other camo, jungle pattern. OAKLEY letters aren't painted on thye straight earpieces neither. They are legit though, because the box had jungle 03-222 on the factory bar code sticker. Did they make trigger arms also ?

Frame: All
Lens: All

Oakley had 3 different molds for the Blade years. If you look at several of the cross/main frame sections, you will see either a molded 1,2 or 3 in (3)circles. There may have been more than 3 versions, but one of them will have no patent numbers, the next two will have patent numbers, but in different spots. Now looking at the arm pieces, same thing goes. You will see no patent numbers on 1 set, the next 2 sets will have patent numbers, but in different spots. This is where the color mismatch & poor fitting come into play. The trigger arm pieces always fit poorly compared to the straight arms, because of the way Oakley molded the holes. The straight has a flat cut on it & the hole is in better alignment. The trigger arm pieces are always breaking, now you know why. I will tell you that keeping them out of the sunlight unless your wearing them, will save them from cracking. DONT PUT THEM ON YOUR DASHBOARD !

Frame: Blue/Grey
Lens: Grey

Man these are classics aren't they? My mom got me a pair back around 1990 or so. However, I never really liked 'em all that much. Even then they were bordering on the cheese factor. It's like they're trying REALLY HARD to be cool, even though these were what put Oakley on the map.

What I also didn't like was that even at that tender age I knew that they were overpriced for what you got: crappy plastic arms that snapped on. And mine for some reason had a blue frame with light grey arms. Just kind of weird.

So overall for the classic appeal I give it high marks but because it has no real use today I give it low marks for average overall.

Frame: Neon Yellow
Lens: Grey

Complete awesomeness! This is the pair that started it all for me. Eye coverage is off the hook and they look awesome on you too. They are very lightweight. Thank you Oakley for remaking these bad boys.

Frame: White
Lens: Red Iridium

These were really cool back in the day. I got mine around 1989 or so from a classmate who wanted to make a quick $50 USD. They were in mint condition and I was eventually able to sell them for the same price a few years later. My only complaint would be that the ear stems would continually break around the hinge holes. Loved those trigger stems though!

Frame: Neon Yellow with Green Triggers
Lens: Orange Iridium

Snapped these babies up recently - my first vintage Oaks. Love the colors (the 80's aren't dead as far as i'm concerned!!) and the fit is actually very comfortable.

Frame: Neon yellow
Lens: Standard grey

My first pair of Oakleys. God, i worshipped these glasses. Peering in the bike-magazines noticeing them on the faces of all the cool racers, all the cool people, this outdoorsy Oakley begged me to buy her and boy she didn`t have to ask me twice. Used them for mountainbiking and road-riding, but started to collect dust when i around 1992-3 began to question neon yellow as a viable colour for wearing. Still have these, think the frame i cracked but still usable.
This model and later the Mumbo/M-Frame/gen. 1 SubZero is *the* Oakley for me. A classic.

Frame: several
Lens: many

almost the same as the blade but slightly smaller and easier to wear.

Frame: Neon Yellow
Lens: Grey

These were my very first Oakleys back in the 80's. I still remember the interchangable Trigger earpiece/lens ad in mountain bike magazines.
Very disco high tech looking back then :) heheh

The were quite fragile if i remember correct.

Frame: multi
Lens: orange iridium

My first Oakley experience. My best friend had these and they were so cool. They had a yellow frame with white trigger arms (blue Oakley print) and an Orange Iridium lens. I had almost lost them down a drain on him too. He had the ear stem kits with the little changing pick and multiple nose pieces. The greatest interchangeable-everything style they had ever made. Two lens choices, Blade (large) and Razor (small). More 80s colors than I have ever seen on anything. Worth having as part of Oakley history if you can score a pair now-a-days.
