The A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban The Blacked Out Collection has been launched by the brand as a series of sunglasses that have been reworked by the musician to give them a modernized flair. The sunglasses collection consists of a total of three classic Ray-Ban eyewear styles including the Mega Clubmaster, Mega Wayfarer and Mega Balorama, which have each been reworked with the artist's signature flair. This includes gold-plated details and a tattoo-style AWGE emblem as a nod to Rocky's creative agency.
The A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban The Blacked Out Collection will see each pair packed in a special case that boasts Rocky's signature $1,000 bill design. The various styles can be purchased now via EssilorLuxottica shops and via the Ray-Ban website for $266 per pair.
