Native Ken Sunglasses

Native Ken sunglasses offer superior comfort and protection alongside unconventional contemporary design, inspired by the streets of modern-day New York as well as vintage American eyewear traditions. The collection includes an impressive assortment of versatile shapes, where thick acetate squares appear next to slender titanium aviators and compact round pantos share the room with oversized silhouettes that boast non-standard geometry. Broad browlines and unusually shaped bridges are seen on many Native Ken sunglasses, creating an outstanding summer style, easily noticeable and memorable even at a fleeting glance. Made of Italian Mazzucchelli acetate and ultralight titanium, these frames often add other materials, like natural wood and 12K gold, into the mix, introducing a curious play of textures and a touch of luxury.

Because summer shades must also be comfortable to wear, Native Ken sunglasses pay considerable attention to the details that allow them to feel cozy and light on the nose. This is achieved through strategic cutting, during which any excess material gets carefully removed while retaining all of Native Ken's geometric quirks, and careful weight distribution across the frame. Metal models come with adjustable nose pads covered in soft silicone, while the temples follow the natural curve of your head, sitting snugly behind the ears with minimum pressure. Regular opening and closing is supported by durable multi-barrel hinges that keep the eyewear stable and functioning smoothly for many summers. The metal hardware often comes plated in genuine precious or contrasting finishes to make the appearance of the spectacles more captivating.

In modern sunglasses, lenses aren't just an eye-protecting element, but also part of their style. That's also true for Native Ken sunglasses that offer diverse lens tints to go with. Next to standard colorways like black, gray, and brown, the brand also offers, among others, a beautiful vintage G15 green lens, known to preserve color perception that is close to natural. Gradient options, for their part, come with a more distinctive look and a more comfortable visual experience in case you need to keep the bottom section of your lenses minimally darkened for an unhindered view of the control panel, your phone, or similar situations. Mirrored finishes are also present, with striking blue, green, rose-colored, gold, and silver colorways giving the shades a more expressive appearance while also improving light reflection.

But the most exciting thing about Native Ken sunglasses is that the company runs its own optical laboratory in New York, where it cuts advanced, digitally surfaced prescription lenses for its eyewear. So if you need vision correction on your summer shades, that can be arranged. By gaining access to customized sun lenses, you have much more flexibility in getting a pair of sunglasses that are suited for your specific eyesight needs and style preferences. Together with the frame being made of premium materials and carefully calibrated to stay wearable all day, the latest lens technologies behind Native Ken sunglasses make for an optimal combination of an outstanding look, lightweight comfort, and reliable sun protection.
