Commonwealth introduces an exemplary approach to their version of the Oakley Frogskin®.

The Commonwealth rendition features an original “Cmonflauge” pattern inspired by the look
of traditional tortoise shell. Using Oakley’s HIgh Definition Optics®,   the sunglasses
are equipped with your choice of Gold or Fire Iridium lenses.

In favor of having the product speak for itself, branding efforts were kept to minimum
with a tonal Oakley logo on the outside temple as well as Commonwealth’s “C’MON” ribbon
printed on the inside of the arm.

The Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins® are sure to be a timeless classic that stands out
amidst the parade of novelty accessory. Made in the USA, with a production run of only
150 pairs, look for these to be available exclusively at Commonwealth stores and online
at Cmonwealth.com.

Look for an upcoming campaign featuring the Commonwealth & Oakley Frogskins on the faces
of Pusha T from the Clipse, Chad Hugo from N.E.R.D, Wale, Levi Maestro, and the staff
from Commonwealth.

Available September 5th 2009 (Labor Day Weekend)

Peace! Over the next few weeks our brick and mortar shops will be holding a raffle to win a pair of Commonwealth Reebok Omni Pumps. The Commonwalth Pumps feature: padded mesh, dyed to match felt and patent leather uppers, contrasting inner lined tongue, custom footbeds, and a small “C’MON” embroidered hit on the heel. We kept the color blocking clean and simple, and the materials used really cut down on the weight of the shoes. Limited to 300 pairs (100 per colorway.)

For those who can’t make it to one of our shops - the fellas over at Nice Kicks is holding a giveaway contest as well. Hit the link for details. Now everyone has a chance to win.

Thanks to everyone who came out and partied with us last night.  It was wild peanuts! That Monday night definitely felt like a Saturday night.  For those of you who couldn’t come through and for those who forgot what happened last night peep the clip below.

It’s been a minute since we’ve dropped a Commonwealth New Era, but no worries, we’re about to hit you with two new styles shortly. Modeled after the berets worn by Oaklands Black Panther Party, and N.Y.C.’s Guardian Angels the “Panther” fitted caps feature a felt wool crown in black or red, and a black leather bill, in addition we’ve added custom Commonwealth pins similar to the ones worn by political and civil rights activists of the 60’s and 70’s.

Our second cap slated for release is dubbed the ALL “C” EEING” New Era, featuring our Pyramid logo embroidered tonally up front, and a small CMON hit on the back. This hat will be available in your choice of black, green or purple. Stay tuned to our newsletter and or VIP Text Messaging service for a solid release date.
