For those of you who aren't hip to the streetwear scene, "SUPER" is Retrosuperfuture's flagship line of sunglasses. Milan-based brothers David and Simon Beckerman launched the company in 2007, a new venture for the publishers of an independent fashion and music magazine, to fill a space in the high-end eyewear market. The minimal acetate frames are made in Italy with Zeiss lenses start at roughly €99 and are built to last (though I'm sure many of you share my habit of losing or breaking shades on a regular basis).
