Aries and Retrosuperfuture (RSF) are linking up for the first time this month with an exclusive eyewear collaboration that presents the RSF Zed design in two exclusive colourways, Aries Aqua and Havana.

They “fuse Aries’ sports-luxe aesthetic with refined colourways and materials”.

Aries is a London-based non-gendered luxury streetwear label with strong Italian links while RSF is an Italian eyewear specialist.

The Zed is described as “a standout model… an identity-defying shield, characterised by a fluid approach to design at the intersection of RSF’s technical influence of the sportswear world”. 

It has a unique shield lens and acetate body with the thick acetate construction “featuring precise lines in contrast with smooth curves and thick temples. The highlight of the model is the lens cut, which extends over the acetate on the exterior sides, creating a unique angular detail on the temples”. 

It also has tech features such as its semi-flat lens and flexible hinges, and in this iteration has classic gold Aries detailing throughout with the ‘Aries Column’ graphic emblazoned on the arms. 

The glasses launch on 8 September and retail at £250/€300.
