Robert Pimple Artist Series HIJINX Brown Smoke/Dark Bronze (24-040)

Robert Pimple Artist Series HIJINX Brown Smoke/Dark Bronze (24-040)

Robert Pimple Artist Series HIJINX Sunglasses Back in the late '80s, an artist with the tag name “Twist” started turning the San Francisco Bay Area into a canvas of droopy iconic figures, abstract patterns and bent ideas that no sane person could pass without a sagged-jaw stare. Barry McGee (a.k.a. “Robert Pimple”) ignited a graffiti boom with so much innovative style that most of his street work has been scavenged or stolen. Ask an art fanatic to describe McGee’s creations and you’ll hear about “the absurd pathos of human existence.” Whatever. All we know is, this guy is fiendishly original and his stuff is mind bending, so we let him create the art for this limited edition HIJINX. With styling that’s aggressively original, HIJINX sunglasses are the perfect canvas for the art of “Robert Pimple.” Only a limited number of frames carry the unique print, and each comes with a matching box and MICROCLEAR™ bag for lens cleaning and eyewear storage. The first 100 have been reserved for online availability, and it won’t be long before these Oakley Artist Series editions are sold out. We shaped durable O MATTER® with clean lines to sculpt this comfortably lightweight frame with a precise Three-Point Fit. HIJINX sunglasses combine twin toric lenses with patented XYZ OPTICS® and HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®). That’s a lab guru way of saying your vision will be phenomenally sharp, no matter what direction your pupils dart. The optics are pure PLUTONITE® for 100% UV filtering, and the Dark Bronze lenses increase visual contrast in bright light. Finished off with dual cam hinges and true metal icons, this limited edition is a mobile masterpiece of urban art. Durability and all-day comfort of lightweight, stress-resistant O Matter® frame material Precision and durability of sculpturally integrated hinge mechanisms with dual cam action Dual polaric ellipsoid lens geometry (two lenses cut from single toric shield) Comfort and Performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Metal icon accents Comfort and performance of Three-Point Fit that holds lenses in precise optical alignment Optical precision and performance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards Impact resistance that meets all ANSI Z87.1 standards for high-mass and high-velocity impact UV protection of Plutonite® lens material that filters out 100% of UVA / UVB / UVC & harmful blue light up to 400 nm
