Oakley and SE Bikes join forces for a collaborative capsule collection. The collection will feature a pair of limited edition Oakley Frogskin sunglasses, a pair of SE x Oakley Factory Pilot gloves , a set of Oakley B1-B grips, and a SE P.K. Ripper Looptail bike. The collaboration was a long time in the making, Oakley was a originally a manufacture of BMX/MX grips before their became known for their sunglasses, and SE Bikes has a strong following in the BMX community. The special SE P.K. Ripper will feature Oakley's B1-B grips on the handlebars and come two colors, the Light Blue colorway featured above and a very limited edition Black-on-Black colorway (only 200 made). The collection is set for a early 2011 release and each piece of the collection is very limited.

DREW's Note: SE Bikes FTW! Though back in the day owning a Huffy was a cool thing, owning a SE put you in a different and exclusive crowd. This collaboration is dope because it celebrates both companies and their true history. To all my fixie friends, I told you BMXs are fresh. I'm bout to re-build my BMX, that's sitting downstairs. Ha!

The case comes in two colorways, Black & White or All-Black, and they are available in limited quantities at Futura Laboratories.

DREW's Note: This case is dope and definitely one of the best looking cases out there for the iPhone 4. Too bad I don't have an iPhone 4. [shrugs]

FACTORY 413, one of the official Supra and KR3W retailers, releases "The Fairfax" sunglasses. The sunglasses are inspired by the store's owner, professional skate legend, Chad Muska.

The glasses are now available in limited quantities through FACTORY 413 and their webstore. More photos after the jump...

DREW's Note: Other than Koston, Chad Muska is my other favorite skate because he was one of the first skaters that I knew who was a Hip Hop head. Plus, he was the character I always used in the Tony Hawk games. Ha! As for the glasses, these are simple and solid which is why I admire most about these compare to others.

The limited edtion watch features a photovolatic (solar-powered) eco-drive, a dual spherical sapphire glass, water resistant, radio reception function during the day (helps it set the time itself), and black dials. The most unique thing on this watch is the mastermind skull and bones which is found on the face and the strap. The watch is very limited with only 80 made and with a price tag that is almost $5,000 USD.

DREW's Note: I've also loved metal watches, it just has a more sophisticated and clean look. Not that I hate the G-Shock watches, it's just that I would rather have a watch like this. A very dope collaboration, a very dope watch.

Oakley recently just introduced the new Oakley Holbrook sunglasses earlier this year. This time around they give us a preview of the two new colors of the Holbrook sunglasses. The sunglasses will come in two colors, Ruby Red and Chrome, with translucent frames and matching Iridium mirrored lens that reflect the color spectrum based on the angle of the light hitting the  glasses. The sunglasses are now available through Oakley retailers worldwide.

DREW's Note: These glasses are too fresh. Once again, Oakley shows us why they still dominate the world of sunglasses. A definite neck-breaker under the sun.
