Almost two years of rapid 3D prototyping in collaboration with Zeiss, these ultra-pricy high-concept specs take design inspiration from the lightweight structure and flexible strength of tendons.
Surely crafted with Olympic athletes in mind, they're all about keeping the flow going, with a "speed crease" to enhance aerodynamics and a ventilated brow bar to reduce fogging.

To that end, they weigh less than an ounce and contact the head in fewer places than traditional eyewear. So even as Olympians are pushing their bodies to the brink, they'll ideally forget that they're even wearing these four-figure sun shields on their face.
