valentino rossi VR|46''s... ill ill ill !

The beast VR|46 x oakley... Check out these signature series frogskins sooooo ill and of course the campaign and print design all done by your truly mr. too ill.
Shades have come a long way since we first started to break rules and bust limits. Every now and then, we crack open the design vault to bring back a classic for a limited time. Valentino loves the vintage look of Oakley Frogskins, so we created a special edition for his Signature Collection. The earstems carry one of our original logos in a rainbow of colors, a slice of the graphics Valentino provided for the collection. On the inner facing of one stem, we printed his initials and racing number in his favorite color. With a Polished Black frame, we had a few choices when we zeroed in on the perfect lens color. Fire Iridium® salutes Valentino’s high-octane personality while boosting contrast to enhance depth perception. A 16% transmission rate makes these lenses scream for bright sun, and you’ll have comfortable vision for everything from medium bright to blinding solar rays. Frame: Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material in Brown Tortoise for this collection edition Classic logo highlight on each earstem Lenses: High Definition Optics for clarity, visual fidelity and impact resistance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards XYZ Optics® to extend clarity to the edge of a wide peripheral view Glare reduction and tuned light transmission of Iridium® lens coating UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400nm
