The new Originals collection gets started

Italia Independent and Adidas have presented the first sunglasses born of their collaboration announced in September. Inspired by the creative and energetic street style culture of Adidas Originals, the glasses are made in a lightweight polymer combined with rubber details, recalling the legacy of the sneakers bearing the Originals signature. This collection combines the leading values of both brands and is created using cutting-edge production methods: dual-injection and high-resolution digital printing. The dual-injection method calls for the use of two moulds, the TR90 and the rubber. Digital printing makes it possible to obtain a high definition of the details and brightness of colours, forms, and textures reproduced on the surfaces of the frames. The flexible and minimalist temples bear the brand’s logo on the side in raised print in rubber. The hinges are completely integrated in the frame, while the screws are embellished with a little cap on which the Adidas Originals trademark is laser embossed. The interchangeable nose pads are also in TR90, while the sunglasses lenses provide the highest level of protection from UV rays.
