So, here are the colors that we can do for the Safe House editions.

A - Powder Blue - Munich
B - Infrared - Central
C - Pale Pink - Hammersmtih & City
D - Dark Pink - Metropolitan
E - Dark Green - District
F - Blue - Victoria
G - Dark Grey - Jubillee
H - Light Yellow - Circle
I - Celeste - Waterloo & City

1 - Black - Northern
2 - Light Grey - Munich
3 - Retina Burn - Munich
4 - Spring Green - London Tramlink
5 - Chalk White - Munich
6 - Dark Yellow - Bakerloo
7 - Blood Orange - London Overground
8 - Dark Navy - Piccadilly
9 - Neon Pink - Munich

The items listed after the color are the corresponding London Underground line. If it says Munich, it came from the Munich 1972 Olympic posters. See the OF link for more info there.

For the models, I'll let you decide how granular you want to do it.
Radar
Radar Straight Stem
Radar XL
Radar XL Straight Stem
Radarlock
Radarlock XL
Racing Jackets
Fast Jackets

If you want, feel free to add Sochi Green to at least the Radarlock, Radarlock XL and Racing Jackets.

The next item is pics. If I can start to collect pictures from various members of each model in the various colors, does that work?

Those are all of the models and colors that I know about for now. I'll keep you updated if I hear of anything else.

Thanks cmunozh! I've seent that one and used a good bit of info from it, and a bunch of other posts, articles, and videos I found in my research. I am also reaching out to a few former Oakley employees to see if I can get any info from them.

Here is the post on Oakley Forum. More info to come once we nail down more of the details.

https://www.oakleyforum.com/threads/safe-house-knowledge-base.127629/

I'm thinking we just call them Safe Houe , and we can lump in various colors from Vancouver, London, and the Sochi Green. It will be more work, but for Radars, I'm thinking it should be broken out by Regular and XL, and regular and straight lenses, so 4 total entries.

I can certainly get something into the DB, but as mentioned, perhaps it's best to make them their own models, sort of like how I separated the Petterson Frogskin just to ease up on the clutter. - Dann



Thanks Dann! I'll work on getting a post up on OF and see what info we can start to collect.

sorry if its a dumb question but what is a safehouse edition? ive never heard of them. - LEX7


From an Olympic standpoint, Safehouses were an Oakley venue they created for the athletes to go to outside of the Olympic Village where they can relax, mingle, eat/drink, and celebrate. It was a safe space for them to get away to. I believe they go back as far as Sydney, AUS in 2000. I have a keychain that says "Safe House" and has two phone numbers on one side, and the shape of AUS with an Oakley logo, and "Games '00" inside on the other. I'm sure Steve Blick was there handing out glasses to athletes.

At later Olympics, maybe as early as Vancouver, CAN in 2010, while athletes were there, they could just happen to get some special glasses made up in a wide range of colors. What made them different from OCP is that they were matte colors. They are also limited in the number of Oakley logos that can be on them, so for example, Fast Jackets, don't have the Oakley across the bridge. For Radar/XL, RadarLock/XL, and M Frames, the lenses did not include the Oakley logo. I don't think any of the Polarized lenses included the note on the bottom corner of the lens.

That I know of, I believe the following models were included
M Frames - limited - I've only seen a few examples, don't personally own any
Radar/Radar XL - Most common - have multiple in regular and straight stems
RadarLock/RadarLock XL - Most common - have multiple pair
Jawbones - limited - don't personally own any, but I see them in collections
Fast Jackets - Common - I own a few pair

There might be other models out there, but I believe these cover it.

For the 2012 Olympics in London, the colors were made to match up to the London Tube System. Starting at Sochi, Oakley started to step away from these SafeHouse edition glasses. Limited models were available in Sochi Green, but they were athlete exclusives. Brazil went went with the Green Fade, and began the trend of the colors being available to consumers. Harmony Fade was used for Korea, and then Kokuro Spin for Tokyo. I haven't heard anything yet about anything special for China coming up later this year.

Thanks cmunozh! That's what I have seen too. There is also another collector that isn't on OF that I have picked some up from that I might be able to get some info from.

The additional info we'd need is what models beyond M Frame, Radar/XL, RadarLock/XL, Jawbones/Racing Jackets, and Fast Jackets, and if anyone knows any specific colors they were available in.

When I have some time, I'll work on starting a post on OF to see if we can collect some of this info and then maybe get the database entries started here.

Has anyone considered adding Safehouse editions for things like M Frames, Radar/XL, Radarlock/XL, Fast Jackets, and Jaw Breakers/Racing Jackets?

I know there are some inherent issues, like no model numbers and they can be totally customized, but it would be cool to have some reference of what was available for collectors like myself going after Safehouse versions. Maybe the frame colors could be noted, rather than frame color and lens.

This is old, but giving it a bump in case anyone has a pair they are willing to part with. I have a lead on a pair, but way more than what I can pay at the moment.

Have some older pairs I'd be willing to trade as well, including a Juliet, FMJ Twenty, Pro Racing Jackets, and a few others.

Still in progress, but here is the first shot.

They started as a white/clear Sutro that I picked up with bag only for a good price. I stripped them down (removed icons and other bits) to a bare frame and shot a little primer base on the frame and front of the temples. From there, grabbed the Spray.bike copper plating spray I’ve used on some jawbreakers and a stem/bar in a bike, and started spraying. Fade on the temples, and shot the entire frame. I’ll give them a few days to cure, then hit it with a clear coat, and reassemble sometime next week. Not sure what lens to put in it for now, but looking forward to seeing how they turn out.

This isn't exactly O related, but working on some custom art on my cycling shoes. I live in the 717, and race for 717Cycling. Since this pic, I cleaned up some of the outline and touched up some of the pink. I have a few other things planned, like a Filipino flag (for my wife) and maybe a US flag (that will be tough) on the heals, #TeamKICKASS (the nickname for my wife and I), and FUCancer for the loved ones we have fighting cancer and those we have lost.

I'll keep you updated as I progress. The shoes are Giro Empires, and I'm using paint pens to draw freehand. I'm thinking about hitting it with clear coat when finished to give it a little bit of protection. If anyone has any experience here, I'd appreciate any advice.

I picked up a pair of the Tour de France Eyeshades that were re-released a few years back off eBay for fun. I'm not really a collector, but I've had my eye on them for a bit, and finally decided to pull the trigger.

For others that have these, are your temples kinda loose, as in, you can wiggle them up and down a bit? The seller said they mainly sat in his glovebox and he rarely wore them. The frames and lens look like they are in great shape. If they should be tight, then I want to work something out with the seller.

Any feedback you have is welcome.

Thanks!

Scott

Thanks everyone. I'm slowly getting my collection posted on here. Some I'll be looking to sell, including my Juliets. All of my glasses were bought to be worn, but that doesn't mean I didn't take care of them. One of these days, I'll have to post a pair of Racing Jackets I picked up on eBay many years ago. It came with the box, which I don't have any more. I'm not sure if they are fake or not, but I figured this would be the place to find out.
