Founded in 1910 in Trivero within the Biella Alps by young entrepreneur Ermenegildo, the brand's vision was to create the world's finest textiles through innovation and sourcing materials directly from their markets of origin.

Today, the Ermenegildo Zegna Group is a leading luxury menswear brand and one of the most renowned businesses in Italy. The company continues to be managed by the Zegna family to this day.

In the world of eyewear, Ermenegildo Zegna sunglasses embody quality like no other. All sunglasses, beginning with the 2013 collection, feature Carl Zeiss lenses for both CR-39 and polarized lenses. The Zeiss logo is engraved on all lenses to denote the immense quality.

Drawing upon eyewear inspiration from the '50s into the '70s, and all the way up to the present, Ermenegildo Zegna sunglasses offer outstanding class, sophistication and distinction in its wide range of styles.

SUPER, by RETROSUPERFUTURE®, ignited the phenomenon of acetate sunglasses. They are made in multiple color gradiations, which has generated a big trend starting in 2007. Super is the first brand to produce a complete range of fashion sunglasses combining these characteristics together with a very high quality manufacturing process.

SUPER sunglasses are made to the highest possible standards, hand made in Italy by the best manufacturers and with the best materials. For this reason, SUPER also decided to adopt ZEISS lenses, which guarantee an extremely high level of protection to the eyes in all conditions.

For some, it’s about being seen in their sunglasses. Maui Jim believes it’s also about WHAT you see. That’s why they make shades that deliver on both performance and fashion.

Take the Maui Jim “Mavericks” for instance; this modern aviator frame has the most advanced lens technology available for all-day comfort in one timelessly stylish package. It’s the kind of sunglasses you will want to wear every single day.

For the on-the-go types, we love the Maui Jim “Surf Rider”. It features patented PolarizedPlus2® lenses that virtually eliminate all glare and 100% of harmful UV rays—perfect for catching a wave, driving to work, and everything in between!

The concept of 9five™ started in the very same year in which it shares its namesake (’95). Their first sunglasses offering, however, manifested itself in 2009 with the launch of their Spring/Summer Collection.

Taking inspiration from a classic era in skateboarding, along with the counter culture that supported it, 9five draws vibe and style from the skateboarding obsessed, crate-digging niche that thrived during this golden era. Those lucky enough to have been a part will certainly see the parallels in the core of their eyewear design, as well as 9five’s drive to modernize their influences and look past what’s current.

SPY Optic has recently collaborated with professional rally racer Ken Block to create eight limited edition styles. Each Ken Block SPY model features custom logo detailing and a special edition Ken Block drawstring sunglasses case.

The sick laser- etched black drip design on the SPY Ken Block colorway Kubrik is the same design seen on Ken’s #43 rally car. If you’re more into sleek and simple, check out the Ken Block colorway of the SPY Kash. It’s got a pop of bright green and the SPY+ Ken Block logo.
