Wide-Frame Sporty Sunglasses

Aries Taps RETROSUPERFUTURE for Two New Sporty 'ZED' Frames

Aries and RETROSUPERFUTURE have collaborated on two new iterations of the ‘ZED’ silhouette. The new glasses silhouettes are representative of both Aries and RETROSUPERFUTURE’s creative energies, fusing each brand’s symbolism with a sporty aesthetic.

The sunglasses, which arrive in ‘Aries Aqua’ and ‘Havana,’ boast a highly technical and futuristic look, with thick acetate frames, smooth curves and angles on the temples, and Aries’ column motif on the arms in gold metal. The column motif also decorates the bridge of the frames in a laser-graphic style. The 'ZED' silhouette is the perfect balance of futuristic '90s aesthetics and formal high fashion.

The Aries x RETROSUPERFUTURE collaboration will debut on September 8 for approximately $288 USD per pair.
