Amidst a massive Sotheby's auction for the brand's founder, Nigo's A Bathing Ape unveils its new eyewear collection for this upcoming fall season.
This collection comes as a follow up to the label's first eyewear release, which landed in stores for the spring/summer 2014 season. There's a variety of eyewear from shades to eyeglasses and, much like many of Bape's other products, there's lots of color and pattern to choose from.
Starting with the sunglasses, the lineup includes Wayfarer-like styles along with more boxy square-cut shapes. The shades peak out with the wilder colors on rounded frames. The bright turquoise and purple lenses are likely brighter than those exclusive deadstock Bape kicks you have stashed away from '07.
The eyeglasses have some common shapes, but they're still not what you'd expect to find at Warby Parker either. Eyeglass frames include a completely clear acetate frame, "bottomless" square shapes, and even a black and blue hexagonal frame.
True to Bape form, there's plenty of camo via tortoiseshell, which is spread on various sunglasses and eyeglasses. Small details include Ape head logos and Bapesta starbursts on the temples, stems, or end pieces of the glasses.
Look for the glasses to drop at select Bape stores in the coming weeks.
