The two create the joint design as an ultra-modern take of the two's precious neo-classic Vantage 2.0 model. The new variation features a [slim and angular silhouette](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-blacked-out-collection) detailed with subtle co-branding emblems that reference Sang Bleu's signatures. It features shining metallic silver foil along with asymmetrical cuts on both temples. The design comes in a range of colorways, including black and black, light green and grey, and gradient and purple. The Vantage 3.0 frames are now available to shop in-store and at the brand's online shop. Notably, there are only 100 units of each colorway for this launch.
