Today we can give you a first look at the upcoming collaboration between Oakley and Shop Gentei on the iconic Frogkin sunglasses. Restricted to a production run of only 100 pieces, these were personally retooled and re-imagined by Gentei founder and creative director Oliver Jones to create a conceptually complete product from start to finish. Amber-tinted lenses specifically made for night riding and overcast days, inside black fade-to-clear frames with the Gentei logo in chrome on the inside. ’60s vintage styling cues combined with the timeless Frogskins silhouette to create a wholly new interpretation of an icon. The project is rounded out by a Jones-designed microfiber bag, included with each pair.

All 100 pairs will be sold exclusively at Shop Gentei and ShopGentei.com and will be available on Saturday, June 13.

Shop Gentei gets together with Philadelphia’s R.E.Load baggage company to collaborate on a new messenger bag.

“Heavyweight brown waxed canvas messenger bag with Gentei logo silkscreened on bottom. Red flannel quilted interior and extra-durable adjustable strap with metal clasp.”

Great choice of colors and materials, nothing to complain. The bag is now available online here.
