Shwood Eugene

With the days only getting sunnier, new sunglasses like the Shwood Eugene should be on the horizon for your style needs. The latest from the Oregon-based wood-sunglasses maker comes in the form of combining a metal rim and bridge with dark, subtle lumbers that only Shwood is able pull off. You can pick up the new pair of Malcolm X looking shades in a Grey Carl Zeiss or green G15 polarized lens, which were actually originally developed for the US Air Force. You can also choose between a silver or black finish for the shades’ lower metal frame along with a walnut or black walnut wood finish that is sure to get your homeboys buzzin’.

Ray-Ban Clubmaster Aluminum

With aluminum being the new go to material for constructing eyewear, we find that top brands are also hopping on the trend train.  Take the Ray-Ban Clubmaster Aluminum sunglasses that are sure to satisfy your summer wardrobe cravings. These things are stealing the show from the ever-famed Wayfarer, with their one-of-a-kind look and lightweight feel. If you aren’t familiar with the Clubmaster, they’re originally inspired by the lifestyles of the ’50s and ’60s but as you can see they’ve been slightly adjusted to appeal to the modern-day consumer. You can pick them up in four different colorways exclusively through Sunglass Hut.

Rogue Eyewear

We love to see new brands come to life with their unique perspectives and cool concepts. Rogue Eyewear is doing just that with their innovative and down right sick glasses. Built on a foundation that believes glasses are a necessity not a luxury, Rogue has created a product that creates a fashion statement with quality instead of their price tag. You may deem the styles familiar, but Rogue has done an awesome job of adding their twist with particular colorways, materials and texture. Styles include the Rogue Classic, Wayfarer, Aviator, Crimson, Shield and our favorite, the handcrafted Bamboo frames. As they put it over at Rogue, “Push your boundaries, redefine your limits, and escape the traditional path. It’s time to go Rogue.”

Monte Cool Sunglasses

If you’ve ever broken the arms of your sunglasses then you know the feeling in your gut isn’t a pleasant one (the look on your face is probably priceless, but that’s not why we are here). With Monte Cool sunglasses you don’t have to worry about all of that. Constructed with anodized aerospace aluminum, polarized lenses and a magnetic hinge assembly, there is no going wrong with these unique shades. With their patent pending magnetic hinge assembly you are able to SNAP the arms right off, resulting in easy interchangeability and of course creativity of temple arm colors (you’ll also avoid that horrid gut feeling and priceless face). Two frame styles in the LA and NYC will be available to you upon a survey sent after you’ve placed your order. You also get to choose two, yes, we said TWO pair of temple arms. Let the interchangeability begin!

Shwood Stone Collection

Purveyors of all things wood, Shwood sunglasses is innovating the sunglasses game with their latest Shwood Stone Collection. Consisting of two styles – the Canby Stone and Belmont Stone – these sunglasses fuse genuine slate with premium Birch wood. You might think these are going to be a little to heavy for your dome piece, but Shwood teamed up with a German engineering firm to develop a method of cutting the slate just a millimeter thick, making them light and comfortable. You can pick up these experimental frames in a white or black slate with the usual Carl Zeiss polarized lenses. The run is limited to 200 pairs, so get on it quick.

Google has finally released concept photos and video of one of their newest ventures Project Glass. With technology advancing into the new age and many people coming to wonder what’s next? We think Google might be partaking in some of the futures most advanced technology. Project Glass is a glasses-like device that interfaces with phone and internet to accomplish tasks like video-calling friends, obtaining GPS directions, take memos or photos. The voice-controlled system includes a camera, microphone, and potentially other sensors like eye-tracking. A team from Google started the project and it is set for trial runs with the Google employees. Who knows maybe the project will soon be called Project Contact Lense?
