okay, so last night i was in boulder doing some christmas shopping with my buddy.  we decided to go to bc surf and sport just down the highway in broomfield (to all the colorado kids they have some sick stuff right now).  well i found a back pack i couldnt live without and was waiting for my buddy to get some questions answered about a few snowboards (wish his bitch ass would learn how to ski lol).  i had been standing in the same place for a few minutes, and turned my head and glanced in the oakley case, and HOLEY SHIT THEY HAD ONE PAIR OF VIOLET FROGSKINS!  I flipped,  i have been wanting some so badly, and havent found any ANYPLACE.  i could tell the sexy girl that opend up the case thought they were goofy, but one of the guys working there knew what was up.  he said they had gotten four pair a while ago and these were the last purple ones.  they still had two brown ones left too.   im so effin stoked i looked up, i fucking love them!  pointless thread but im stoked i found them

They're hard to find. We have a pair in the store here, they're the white ones. I just dont want to spend 140 on them.

Are they real oakley frogskins from back in the day or are they the new ones that are made to look like the frogskins? They are called supremes if I'm correct...

the current ones are called limited edition frogskins, and they are the exact same as the retro frogskins from back in the day, except now they are numbered out of 3000 which i believe was the limit on worldwide production

yea i got a pair of those and a pair of the white glow in the dark ones. i found them online about three weeks ago. it was the only place i could find that had them unless i wanted to get them shipped from the uk. they only made 3000 pairs of each color. there are supreme frogskins too. they are actually oakley frogskins, oakley teamed up with supreme to put them out. they sold out super quick. they were considerably more expensive. good find tho. props. i havent seen any of them in stores or in person for that matter, except from the couple pairs vintage ones from the 80's that my dad had and i stole from him.

thats sick, if they had glows i would have coped um too, but the root beer ones were lame. damn, supreme is fucking legit thats good to know!  i though they were a little hard to find because my buddys dad owns a shop thats been around for 25 years and when i asked him about them he said he was never offered them by oakely.  he said he remembered having a pair in the 80's/90's though haha.  ill keep my eye our for some original ones that would be sooo fresh.
