Grab your Walkman: Smith launches new biobased, 80’s-style sunglasses

In Oregon, ski goggle brand Smith has introduced retro, wraparound sunglasses meant to invoke its first 1987 design, but with a sustainable twist: biobased frames.

Dubbed Ultralite, Smith told advnture, a site focusing on outdoor goods, that the biobased frames are lighter and more durable, and that the “retro ski goggle inspired design pairs well with high-top sneakers, a fresh mullet, and a good Beastie Boys track playing on the Walkman.”

The Ultralites are available now in Matte Malachite, High Voltage, 80s Night, Matte Black and Matte Tortoise for $175.00 at SmithOptics.com
