Ray-Ban Reverse X Lenny Kravitz Capsule Collection Launched

The 2024 range also gets new colourways.

It was in 2023 when the Ray-Ban Reverse collection was first launched. As the name suggests, the range of eyewear introduced the concept of concave lenses instead of the traditional convex form. Now, new colourways have been introduced. Also, an extension of the collection, in collaboration with artist Lenny Kravitz, is up for grabs. The latter comprises two special models and a limited edition.

The Ray-Ban Reverse X Lenny Kravitz Capsule Collection ticks all the right boxes for efforts towards sustainability and style. The eyewear features bio-nylon lenses with a 41 per cent bio-based carbon content, bio-acetate frames with a 67 per cent bio-based carbon content and 100 per cent recycled polyester cleansing cloth with packaging. The lenses boast high-tech anti-glare treatment that can reduce up to 70 per cent of the reflections at sensitive wavelengths.

The trio of reverse aviators are available in three colours – black (EUR 215), chrome (EUR 235) and the limited-run gold-plated (EUR 500). Each one dons a Lenny Kravitz signature on the left lens, backed by unique packaging and cases signed by the artist. Already on sale online, this collection will be available via owned and operated EssilorLuxottica wholesale channels starting April 2, 2024.

The 2024 Ray-Ban Reverse collection also ropes in new colourways. These include a Burgundy washed lens in a gold aviator frame and a Blue washed lens in a black acetate wayfarer frame. A pair of rose-gold lenses wrapped in a silver frame is also available but exclusively at Sunglass Hut. The range starts at EUR 175.

Asics Launches Two New Metaspeed Running Shoes

Japanese sportswear brand Asics has introduced two new running shoes in its flagship Metaspeed Series. They are called Metaspeed Sky Paris and Metaspeed Edge Paris. Compared to the previous versions, the new ones are lighter by 22g. That comes courtesy of a new Motion Wrap Upper 2.0, which has also made the shoe nearly 8 per cent more breathable. Another new aspect is the addition of FF Turbo Plus midsole foam. As per the manufacturer, that helps in weight saving while providing a softer and bouncier experience.

Besides those improvements, Asics has also widened the full-length carbon plate in the forefoot section of the Metaspeed Sky Paris derivative. The brand claims this addition will boost ‘Stride’ runners, who spend large periods airborne and increase their speed by extending stride lengths. On the other hand, the Metaspeed Edge Paris has been updated with a better toe-off and a forefoot made using a new last. These improvements should help ‘Cadance’ runners, who have minimal up and down motions, and increase speed by extending strides and increasing the number of steps per minute.

Both shoes are available for men and women from the brand’s retail and online stores. They are priced at AED 1,050 / SAR 1,210 / KWD 87 / BHD 119.5 / OMR 116.5.
