Buying 80s vintage shield sunglasses. Black square mono lens sport visor on authentic abstract pattern brow. Robotic mask. Super hero cosplay NOS
The vintage business in it's general sense is about boiling.
buying The vintage business in it's general sense is about boiling down popular cultural history into it's most visible component parts. In the realm of eyewear, it would be a challenge to come up with a better example than these visors to illustrate the 80s. They would have been for sincere sun shade coverage and sporty purposes in their day ( and were also essential for B-boys that specialised in robotic dancing ) but not any more. In the 2020s they're a fully fledged fashion phenomena demanding their stake in the social media war of self promotion. We would also argue that they stand their ground in competition with the professional sports manufacturers of this category such as Carrera, Alpina and Cebe but of course, without the ostentatious branding. The main feature however. is that they maintain a visor appearance with squared side angled blinkers that keep the dimensions neat and tidy and avoid the goofy oversized look thats usually unavoidable in this category.
Extraordinarily authentic 80s dayglo colouring on the brow.
Unused NOS in excellent condition.
Some faint surface marks on the lenses that need mentioning but not fretting over.
We reckon they could work well looking large on a small face more then the other way round.
Please note that the lens tone is quite dark.
