Blenders Eyewear Drops Limited-Edition 'STATE Sunglasses'

The 'STATE sunglasses' are here, and they’re more than just eyewear -- they’re a statement of San Diego State University pride. To celebrate its 13th anniversary, Blenders Eyewear has teamed up with SDSU basketball student-athletes and the MESA Foundation, creating a limited-edition pair of shades that give back to the program while keeping fans looking fresh.

Inspired by Aztec energy, the STATE sunglasses feature a bold black, red, and white color scheme, set in Blenders’ Y2Skate frame, a nod to retro vibes with a modern edge. With only 4,000 pairs available, these shades are a must-have for diehard SDSU supporters and streetwear lovers alike.

Blenders isn’t just dropping sunglasses; they’re investing in the future of college athletics, donating $100,000 to the MESA Foundation’s NIL efforts -- bringing their total contribution to $175,000. Grab your STATE sunglasses now at BlendersEyewear.com.
