The youngest person ever to be inducted into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame is a visionary who sculpts raw metal into works of art. His design legacy ranges from customs to street rods, and lately it seems his award mantel has as much metal as his garage. We’re honoring Chip Foose, one of the world’s premier automobile designers, with this special edition of Oakley GASCAN® eyewear.
Chip’s masterpiece Hot Rod Lincoln was dubbed the “P-32 Street Fighter,” so we screen printed “P-32” along with “FOOSE” inside the stem. The aluminum of the P-32 inspired the frame finish, and the icons combine the military olive color of the hot rod’s interior with the orange of the Foose Design® logo. We fired up our laser to etch “Chip” near the bottom of the lens, a subtle salute to the man who fuels the engine of innovation. We also put matching art on the packaging box, and the eyewear comes with a custom printed Chip Foose MICROCLEAR™ bag for lens cleaning and frame storage.
Oakley GASCAN® combines the science of patented optics with the art of aggressive styling. The lenses are cut from the curve of a single lens shield then mounted in the frame to maintain the original, continuous contour. Peripheral vision is maximized by XYZ OPTICS®, one of the patented innovations that give HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®) its unbeatable clarity. Lightweight O MATTER® frame material offers all-day comfort. Impact protection meets ANSI Z87.1 standards, and our comfortable Three-Point Fit retains the lenses in precise optical alignment.
