original wayfarer - Classic Collection.


Ray-ban has released a new colorway for the original wayfarer and it's gorgeous. The classic Italian, hand-made frame that remains virtually unchanged since 1952 has finally gotten a modern upgrade.
This run comes as part of what they're calling the "Classic Collection", which includes a few different color options (most of which are standard or lame). But this combo is killer. At first glance, they just look like a lighter shade of tortoise, and then boom...
Tortoise up front, black in back. If mullets were cool and could be applied to sunglasses, it would be these babies.
The frame isn't the only change here either. You'll see gold coloring instead of the classic silver on the side logos, as well as the front detailing. Pair that with the classic G-15 lens, and for $163, you'll be the coolest dude on the block.
This line is only available online, so I'd recommend trying them on in a local shop to test the fit on your face shape, and then visiting their site to pick them up.
