Austrailian brand PAM and Italian sunglasses company Super have teamed up to make this [bold printed eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection).

Reminiscent of the 1980s and the days of Zack Morris, these sunglasses come in [two different colors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rimowa-x-mykita): black and green, and blue and red.

There’s even a little funny saying on the inside of each one.

**Implications** - Looking to take consumers back to a simpler time period, businesses have been incorporating [retro themes into their products](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/modern-retro-collection) and redefining them to fit with modern-day standards. As companies successfully transform these products and add a modern twist to them, it is only reasonable that more of these retro-modern hybrids will prevail through a broader range of products.
