9five 2013 Spring Collection

Eyewear specialist 9five takes its inspiration from a classic era in skateboarding, drawing from the “skateboarding obsessed, crate-digging niche that thrived during this golden era.” New for Spring/Summer 2013, the label’s aptly-named Gold Collection features handmade acetate, transparent gold frames and gold metal embellishments, while this season’s 9 Series range provides equally-luxe touches with full-grain brown leather frame fronts and cream leather wrapped temple tips. And, should you prefer more traditional styles in matte black and tortoiseshell, 9five has you covered with its Black Out and Tortoise Collections of versatile, classic frames. Lens choices are as varied as this season’s styles, with black or clear CR39 lens and prescription options offered throughout. Look for 9five’s Spring 2013 collection at the label’s website.
