Joe Kelly glasses

Date2018

DescriptionBlack plastic glasses frames with arms that snap into place in two positions and the majority of each arm's length has a rubber coating to hold them more firmly in place on the head. The tips and hinges are plastic. The proper left arm has "Flak 2.0" and a design number printed into them. Just in front of the hinge is a silver manufacturers logo on both sides. Plastic frames hold the lenses on the tops and sides, leaving the bottom of the each lens unobstructed. On the bridge of the nose is "Oakley" in the front and "USA Made" on the reverse. There is an MLB authentication hologram sticker on the proper right side.
