They’ve been seen on everyone from Kanye to The Kills but we’re ready to claim a pair of these shades for ourselves. They’re part of the “SUPER” line, from an Italian-based company called RetroSuperFuture. We first spotted the regular pair of specs (sans UV shades) last winter at a tiny optical store in Toronto. But it’s the company’s line of sunglasses for summer that have really caught on with the general public. The shades are made from high-quality German ZEISS lenses, which feature high levels of UV protection and are strong enough to withstand all conditions. The frames, meanwhile, are a take on the traditional Ray-Ban wayfarers and can be customized in a variety of colors (neon blue, yellow and pink are all surprisingly wearable). Check out retrosuperfuture.com for more images. You can also pick up the glasses at retailers like Barney’s New York and Colette.
