NYC label No Mas knows that nothing says summer like vintage shades, prompting their recent collaboration with Silver Lining Opticians. The two styles, modeled after those worn by baseball star Reggie Jackson and tennis' sex-symbol Bjorn Borg, perfectly complement No Mas' unpretentious approach to sportswear.
Reggie's Italian logo-free aviators sport golden monel (a nickel alloy) frames—perfect for a day at the ballpark. The pair also come with a complementary No Mas vintage Reggie t-shirt (pictured after the jump).
Bjorn's signature shades feature injection molded plastics with a padded bridge for increased comfort. The full wrap around temple cables ensure a snug and stable fit even if you are running around on the court. An order of Bjorn's shades also comes with a pair of complementary BJ shorts (pictured after the jump).
Reggie's and Bjorn's vintage summer shades sell for $325 and $375 respectively through No Mas. Be sure to check back with them often because we've heard the sunglass series could turn into a monthly release.
