Contemporary [eyewear label](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shenseea) and TV personality Jimmy Fallon enter a collaboration together to create a pair of [classic sunglasses with a twist](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waiting-for-the-sun-x-percival). The design is informed by a personal habit of the famed comedian -- often, he finds himself spinning his eyewear. As a result, the partnership with the brand seeks to create an ultra-niche product based on that.

Dubbed 'Spinnies™,' the Jimmy Fallon x [Warby Parker](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/warby-parker-x-emma-chamberlain) joint venture boasts sunglasses that are geared for spinning. The unique mechanism is currently patent-pending and ultra-durable. According to the brand, the frame is proven to withstand 10,000 spins.

Consumers can purchase the limited-edition sunglasses with a twist starting December 5th. A 100% of one's Spinnies™ purchase will be donated to the Pupils Project which is a program that provides free vision screenings, eye exams and glasses to school children in the United States.
