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.

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.

of Pusha T from the Clipse, Chad Hugo from N.E.R.D, Wale, Levi Maestro, and the staff
from Commonwealth.
