Those are the Fairends.

I was just about to add in the details.

The rarest are the Freeman Transport Jawbones (the army green). There were only 30 pairs made, but they are a lot rarer in the wild because they were given to the Freeman Transport people who were not enthusiast collectors and so most were presumably trashed. They are extremely rare and hard to come by. Also a traceable history is hard to prove nowadays, as the frame colour could conceivably be replicated if you had an original to colour match.

I love the color combo. Two thumbs up. Beautiful pair.

I’m assuming you have rarest?

Yeah. They’re the pair above the fairends.

Just curious. How did you obtain them. That’s pretty cool

I paid an arm and a leg to Joseph Smith from Lion Museum. I also had a lot of trouble completing the deal. I don't think I'll ever sell them. Probably the rarest pair of Oakleys I own, besides my signed Lance Armstrong Juan Pelotas (50 pairs, but only 1 signed as far as I know). All I'm after now is the Rapha pair of jawbones

Nice! I hear those are Uber hard to find.

wouldn’t the fairends be the same as the Freeman Transport since their were only 30 of them made as well?


Both pairs are really awesome, congrats

No. Because the fairends seemed to have been snapped up by collectors who took care of them. Also, anecdotally, there are more fairends that come up for sale than the Freeman Transports.

Personally, I think the fairends look better because of the unique translucent frame colour. But the freeman transport, if original, is one of the hardest to find.
