    Walmart Frame

    I need help locating the frame for a customer of mine.
    He purchased it in Walmart. It has a memory flex bridge (tube) and the temples that look like Stark hinges that flex in all directions. They are not regular 180 temples they also go up and down.
    Help!
    Can I find it anywhere else but Walmart?

    Sounds like one of the Aspex Turboflex kids frames. Isn't that hinge neato?

    Turboflex has men's styles, too, and that hinge is available on some of their sunglasses as well. It is pretty cool! I've never had to warranty one because of a breakage at the hinge. In fact, I have very few warranties on Aspex frames. But that hinge blows people away the first time they see it! 8^)
    It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice.

    Thanks!
    I wonder if it will be cheaper for me to get it from Walmart than from Aspex!:)

    The ones I saw at WM were selling for about $8 less than what I retail them for.

    The memory metal seems to lose its memory if you accidentally smash them while putting the top up on your convertible.

    Not that particular brand but it was a flexon.

    I'm going to start referring to broken memory metal as amnesia metal.
