Stab Digs: John John’s Spy Shades

Just as John John Florence brought a new kinda cool to the world tour, he also brings a new kinda cool to sunglasses. Practicality hasn’t historically been the most radical thing in the world, but John John can make anything colourful. Enter: Mr Florence’s new Spy sunglasses. John’s ma, Alex, has had an old pair of Ray Ban Wayfarer fold-ups forever, and has always loved the convenience of them. Which is precisely where John John got the idea for his. It ain’t re-inventing the wheel and John ain’t professing it to be. The kid just did what most people do in their creative ventures: Take elements from something they like, and make it their own. The design team at Spy found the whole project real easy, because John knew exactly what he wanted. These are perfect for those who consistently sit on their shades and break them, or those who travel consistently. Or, those who just like the look of em, which ain’t hard. Dig on colourways above, then have at the digital store here.
