Designhub Drip Teardrop Shades — Smoke Lens Steel Frame

The Designhub Drip Teardrop Shades reference the aviator teardrop lens shape — one of the foundational silhouettes of American eyewear — and reinterpret it for hip hop aesthetics through a larger frame scale, heavier steel construction, and smoke lens that projects a no-nonsense, serious cool rather than the sporty or military associations of the classic pilot frame. The frame is stainless steel wire 2mm gauge formed into a tear-drop shape 62mm high and 58mm wide per lens — larger than a standard aviator and sized to provide full eye coverage and the generous frame presence expected in hip hop eyewear culture. Double bridge construction between the two tear-drop lens openings, a signature aviator detail retained for its structural and visual authenticity. The lenses are polycarbonate in dark smoke grey — a neutral grey tint at category 3 optical density that provides excellent sun protection without the color shift introduced by brown or green tints. UV400. The wire frame is finished in brushed stainless steel with a natural steel color — no plating, no coating — for a utilitarian authenticity. Cable temple ends grip behind the ear. Supplied in a branded zippered leather-look pouch.
