RETROSUPERFUTURE and Mark Gonzales Reunite for Playful Sunglasses
Featuring “Ciao Bella” and ” Ciao Bello” messaging on the lenses.
Following a collaboration with Samuel Ross’ A-COLD-WALL*, Italian sunglasses label RETROSUPERFUTURE reunites with Mark Gonzales for special-edition shades titled “The Gonz II.” The unique sunglasses arrive in bold colors with ironic and playful messaging, celebrating Gonzales’ legacy as a skateboarder and street artist as well as RSF’s Italian origins.
Frames are crafted of transparent lilac acetate while rounded blue-tinted lenses echo the “Hello Gonz” and “Bye Bye Gonz” print on the 2016 collaboration, featuring “Ciao Bella” and “Ciao Bello” text. Reminiscent of ’90s grunge silhouettes, a lowered nose bridge and straight temples were designed for comfort during active use whilst incorporating co-branding accents and red RSF cross badges.
The frames are now available on RETROSUPERFUTURE’s website and at select stockists for €179 EUR (approximately $181 USD).
