EYEVAN 7285

Special Models Launch First at UA Harajuku Main Store
From "EYEVAN 7285," now in its second year since its establishment, two special models from the upcoming 4th collection, "EV720" and "EV721," will be available for pre-sale starting Friday, September 26th, at United Arrows Harajuku Main Store Men's Building.

Already Available at colette in Paris Since September 25th
The "EV720" in a Boston shape and the "EV721" in a teardrop shape, available for this pre-sale, are original models that reinterpret the classic style with the lens-swapping technique found in 80s sports brands.
Thanks to EYEVAN 7285's proprietary bridge structure, loosening the crown on the underside of the bridge allows for the replacement of the CR39 polarized lenses with spare mirrored lenses. Both lens types are custom-made and produced in Japan.
The newly crafted bridge, temples, and the engraving on the lugs utilize patterns from EYEVAN's archives. The intricate engraving, reminiscent of antique frames, uses a master mold created by highly skilled artisans, resulting in groundbreaking sunglasses that fuse classic EYEVAN aesthetics with modern design.
Additionally, a special package includes a case made of tanned leather to store the spare lenses and a dedicated driver, as well as a custom-made paulownia wood box crafted by Tokyo's traditional furniture artisans – features not to be missed.
These sunglasses, featuring an innovative function that allows users to switch to spare lenses themselves, offer two distinct looks – with acetate-rimmed lenses and mirrored lenses – depending on the situation, making them a noteworthy item.
