Note: if you think these are a knockoff of the Kayne shutters, or even the Linda Farrows, check again. Roman Kremer takes risk in design and Mykita is willing bring them to market for that consumer who is willing to accept that risk. “The ROMAIN frame is cut out of 0.5 mm stainless steel and features metal shutters. The design borrows cues from traditional Inuit eyewear, which was designed solely to provide protection from dazzling sunlight and did not have conventional lenses. The very graphic and square-edged frame is inspired by the collection’s leitmotiv of protection and is reminiscent of war face paint.” Look for them in November.

I love the science behind the shade, but after Kanye did it, it just seemed trashy and cannot help but maintain that opinion of shutter shades and shutter-like shades.
this definitely is edgier than the simple shades that had several rectangles cut out of them. i would imagine the way these shades were done would better protect the eyes from the sun?
