The XR1 Steel Sunglasses by designer Robert Anthony are strong enough for Superman and stylish enough for Lady GaGa. Anthony actually crafts a wide range of steel jewelry and accessories that range from bow ties to two-finger rings.
The XR1 Steel Sunglasses are unlike anything I have ever seen before, but that does not mean I will be surprised if I see someone wearing a pair. That said, a pair will run you $1,200 but I guess that is fair for shades that look like they could block the sun and bullets.
