Dita Legends

Unique shades are unbeatable for blase-hipness, but burrowing obsessively through dingy vintage shops undermines any and all too-cool-for-school-ishness. Get singular sun-blockers with a lazy mouse-click, from Dita Legends.

LA-based Dita's just opened their web-shop doors, letting you pluck from a collection previously available only in high-end boutiques (too prissily annoying), and the past (too tricky to harness the necessary jigawatts). Beyond the current line -- everything from aviators to racer shades -- Dita's also unleashed their entire "vault" of out-of-production models, from the face-hugging, all-acetate Magnum to the McQueen-worthy Bullet, whose spelling's owed to either trademark issues or super-chill fact-checking. Numerous limited releases're also nab-able, including Dita's individually-numbered colab with German outfit Cazal, and the gold-flash-lensed tortoise Night Moves, which take the blue-collar cool of Bob Seger, then abandon it for something less likely to sing about Chevy.

Also available e-xclusively: the black Grandmaster Two, whose giant 12K-gold-plated titanium hinges'll have you breezing right into restricted-access recording studios. These're limited to 10 pairs ever, though, so get 'em now -- or the cool you get from "dressing like Flash" will be undermined by rummaging through his dingy estate sale.
