Continuing its 50th-anniversary celebrations, [Porsche Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iconic-curved-p8952) has introduced P’8950 50Y Iconic 3D sunglasses, the newest addition to its 50Y Porsche Design Capsule Collection.

Sticking with its future-forward approach to design, Porsche Design's new shades boast a sleek and unconventional style, and they are not made using traditional manufacturing methods. Instead, they are made from [titanium powder](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/westy-king-sunglasses) and constructed through a [unique 3D printing process](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-3dprinted-glasses-frames) that requires the dust-like titanium to be melted with a laser. In addition, the 50Y special edition frames feature a single one-piece black mirror lens and lightweight RxP high-performance temples geared towards improving comfort.

The 50Y special-edition frames are limited to 911 units and come packed in a luxurious 50Y Porsche Design wooden gift box.
