Todd Snyder Teams With Randolph Engineering For Classic Aviators
The designer updated Randolph’s signature sunglasses with premium materials.
When placed in the right hands, classic menswear essentials can actually start to feel fresh and modern — that’s the case with plenty of work done by NYC-by-way-of-Iowa designer Todd Snyder, including the new Todd Snyder x Randolph line of stylish sunglasses.
The offering arrives just in time for the Fourth of July, and carries on the designer’s legacy of taking some of his personal favorites — be it Timex watches, Champion sweatshirts or Converse sneakers — and giving them his own personal, sharp and stylish take.
Snyder himself has been busy this spring and summer, launching a new line of boots and now, delivering some seriously cool sunglasses for the rest of the season ahead.
The Randolph x Todd Snyder Aviators take a tried-and-true original — Randolph’s AF325-TS — and finish them off in impossibly luxe fashion, using cool colors like Gunmetal and even 23-karat gold.
This new take on the timeless Aviator is a far cry from the sunglasses Randolph originally produced for fighter pilots, but no less premium and dependable (and each pair is still made in the States, to boot).
The fresh Aviators clock in at 58mm, using bendable bayonet-style temples that nod to the functionality of Randolph’s original, pilot-friendly design.
Polarized, anti-reflective lenses make them a pair of shades that are as useful as they are stylish, with the ability to be worn all day long without missing a beat.
Other refreshed design details include the inclusion of the Todd Snyder logo at the back of the temples, delivered in an eye-catching shot of color for subtle style.
And because this is Todd Snyder, the collaboration is more accessible than one might expect (although no less hard-wearing and fashion-forward — yet classic).
Even the 23-karat set of shades will set you back only $369, a relative steal given the heritage, history and designer-friendly style each pair delivers (the other three models will run you $349).
It’s simple, really: Todd Snyder and Randolph are making your new pair of summer sunglasses, so amp up your daily carry now.
