Rapper Post Malone recently partnered with designer ARNETTE to launch new eco-friendly shades. ARNETTE was founded in Orange County, California in 1992 and was popular with skaters, skiers, and surfers.
The sunglasses are made from bio-based plastics and come with a recycled elastane case. The eco-friendly shades come in two designs -- 'Lost Boy' and 'Borrow drop.' They boast bright colors, including red, pink, orange, turquoise with color-blocked frames.
The inspiration behind the laid-back shades goes "back to the 90s when our heroes were slackers: the dudes and the clerks, the stick-it-to-the-man, stay-true-to-yourself burnouts.” ARNETTE's new street-ready style is apart of a new line the brand is releasing that boasts understated and retro designs.
