    Actually, get your facts straight. We developed the Red Midnight Special for Lupe and Kanye’s “Glow in the Dark Tour”. The Lupe frames had Black Temple tips and D.Grey Gradient lenses, we only produced 10 of them. Our CLOT collaboration was an spin off of the Lupe frame, we added D.Tortoise Temple Tips, D.Brown Gradient Lenses and the CLOT lens etching to separate the two from each other…

    get your fact straights the one lupe had on was a prototype and didn’t have any logos on it. 1st and 15th!

    So these are basically the Lupe limited version of the Midnight Specials with a logo on the right lens..

    I bought the black Midnights off of Dita and was a bit let down with how they looked in person as to what they looked like on their web site.

    So I went to Heidioptics here in Pittsburgh and they had the silver/gun metal version and they were night and day better than the blacks, so I bought them and returned the blacks.

    Very nice craftsmanship all around.
