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.
