Designhub Lowrider Slim Rectangle Shades — Flat Black Gold Bridge

The Designhub Lowrider Slim Rectangle Shades reference the low-profile, slim-lens rectangular frame that appeared across West Coast hip hop visual culture in the 1990s and early 2000s — worn close to the face at a flat, level angle that projected a laid-back, unflappable cool associated with the lowrider car culture of California. The frame lenses are 62mm × 25mm — exceptionally wide and slim, a lens proportion found in no mainstream eyewear category — providing a narrow horizontal visor of tinted glass across the eye without the full coverage of a standard sun lens. This slim proportion is the defining characteristic of the lowrider shades aesthetic. The frame is stainless steel wire in matte flat black with a contrasting brushed gold double bridge that spans the two lens openings with two parallel horizontal bars — a strong architectural detail that breaks the all-black frame color. The lenses are polycarbonate in flat black — a non-reflective dark smoke that provides category 4 light reduction and 100% UV400 protection. Cable temples with silicone ear tips for secure fit. Temple: 140mm. Supplied in a slim rectangular tin case.
