Hayden Panettiere, Oakley Frogskins

Hayden Panettiere was out this weekend wearing the retro Oakley “Supreme Frogskins” in the special edition, and ultra rare, white frame with “Bronze Iridium” lens.  This version of the frame was one of the first Oakley sunglasses released back in 1984 and was very popular and manufacture for over 10 years.  The Frogskin design changed over the years and most significantly in 1996 when Oakley redesigned this sunglass and changed the name to “New Frogskin” introducing more wrap and a more sporty look.  The sunglass Hayden is wearing is a reproduction of that original Forgskin retro look. Oakley re-released this frame on a very limited production basis under the name “Supreme Frogskin”.
