MYKITA + AMBUSH®
Announce Collaboration Sunglasses "VERBAL"
MYKITA, the eyewear brand founded in 2003, has teamed up with "AMBUSH®," a Tokyo brand currently garnering global attention for its unstoppable momentum, to announce a collaboration sunglasses collection. Named "VERBAL" after AMBUSH® director VERBAL, known for his love of sunglasses, the model embodies the innovative creativity and originality of both brands, which constantly push boundaries.

Sunglasses Featuring Designs That Defy Global Norms
AMBUSH®, which began with conceptual jewelry and now also offers an apparel line, is a brand helmed by VERBAL and YOON. The duo, active as artists and designers, are fervent collectors of MYKITA and maintain close ties with the MYKITA HAUS team, making this collaboration a natural progression.
VERBAL commented, "I felt a resonance with the world of MYKITA's design team through their bold designs, material choices, and unique color palettes. For this collaboration, we focused on creating a unique model that fuses the artistic sensibilities of both brands."
MYKITA co-founder and Creative Director Moritz Krueger shared his thoughts on the collaboration: "I met VERBAL and YOON in 2010, and we immediately hit it off. I was confident that we could realize a collaboration together. This project was born from the simple yet unprecedented idea of 'looking at reality from a different perspective.'"
True to those words, "VERBAL" has become a pair of sunglasses characterized by designs that overturn conventional wisdom. The stainless steel frame features mirrored lenses set in reverse, reflecting a topsy-turvy world. As VERBAL describes it, "The browline sunglasses have become pop art." A straight bar extends above the rim, creating a geometrically beautiful and exceptional model.
Available in three colorways—Shiny Black / Black / Black, Gold / Red / Gold, and Silver / Blue / Silver—each featuring distinct colors for the frame, bar, and lenses, the combinations highlight AMBUSH®'s signature hues, creating an eye-catching effect. The MYKITA + AMBUSH® "VERBAL" model first launched exclusively at MYKITA Shop Tokyo, AMBUSH® WORKSHOP, and mykita.com, before its global release.
