Oliver Peoples + Schaeffer Eye Center

Schaeffer Eye Center has collaborated on a postcard to be distributed. Hope you get one and if you want one, leave a comment and we'll send one to you. The post card has a savings of $50 towards Oliver Peoples frames for eye and sunglasses.

Limited edition Oakley Frogskin

Oakley continues its collaboration with snowboard company Grenade as the two team-up on a new pair of the brand’s iconic Frogskins model. Taking on a much more playful approach than last year’s version, the shades feature a tone-two fade upper with black iridium lenses adding a bit of balance. Call any of the Schaeffer Eye Centers to have us special order these frames.

Paul Smith Celebs

Paul Smith seems to popping up everywhere lately with their sunglasses this summer. We have Michael Cera (Arrested Development, Superbad, Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World) sporting PS-509 and fresh from his "decision", Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. Looks like he made the right decision... by going with the "Bolan" frame from Paul Smith.

You can check out these frames at any of the Schaeffer Eye Centers in Alabama. Just call 1-888-987-2020 for more information.

Oakley's Razor Blade frame

The History of Oakley is a new design concept from Staple Design. They have released the "Razor Blade" (circa 1997) and the "Jawbone" which features SWITCHLOCK technology. The SWITCHLOCK feature allows the lower part of th frame rim to open allowing for easy access to quick lens changing.

The "Razor Blade" is available in very limited quantities and can be special ordered from Schaeffer Eye Center.

STPL x Oakley Eyewear

Both the Oakley Radar and Eyeshade make a comeback from the Oakley archives, each with a fitting colorway and theme. The Eyeshade frame is ideal for cycling, running, and tennis. THere are available by special request and Oakley has only produced a handful amount.

Oakley Frogskins: Purple/Clear frame

Oakley began their "Fade Series" a while back. This new Purple-Clear scheme with mathing violet iridium lenses. Just like their other frogskins, they are limited in quantity and are available through the Oakley site or by special order at Schaeffer Eye Center.

Ray-Ban 2010 Summer Sunglasses

Ray Ban has just released a whole new batch of sunglasses for Summer 2010. The classic models which include the Original Wayfarer, Aviator, Clubmaster, 59mm, 58mm, and the RB4140.

Jay-Z and Jack White Collaborate On New Track Titled "Ray Bans" (Studio Session Pics)

THURSDAY, MAY 27, 2010 AT 1:01AM

We'll just leave you with this for banter, Yes Please! Jay and Jack were in the studio working their collaboration titled “Ray Bans” at Third Man Records in Nashville, TN. Apparently, it also appears that Hov's wife Beyonce and Amy Winehouse were also in attendence during this studio session as well (Hmmmmm.... Lets hope more than one song was worked on.)

In an interview with GQ UK earlier this year White said of the hook up: “I just did a record with Jay-Z...We did a song together a few weeks ago. It was incredible. I played him something that I’ve been kicking around for a while and he immediately came out with words for it. It’s unbelievable-sounding.”

This track is shaping up to be the most anticipated record to watch out for this year (Sorry Dre.)

UPDATE: Photos taken down at the request of the Photographer.

Troy Lee+ Oakley

Adding to a collaboration from the past, Troy Lee pairs up with Oakley again to customize a Jupiter LX model for Oakley's Signature Series. The front of the frame is featuring an illustrated graphic with the frames via a multi-colored 7-layer process to create a contrasting effect. Not sure of the color of the lenses, but those seem to be another key feature. These are available online at the Oakley site or any by special request at any Schaeffer Eye Center.
