A$AP Rocky unveiled his debut metal collection, his first optical designs for Ray-Ban as its creative director. Following his first year in this role for EssilorLuxottica’s Ray-Ban, this A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban launch blends metal silhouettes with Ray-Ban’s classic look. These sun and optical styles honor the past by referencing several influences from recent decades while maintaining modern design.
The A$AP Rocky x Ray-Ban metal collection features bold wire frames, rimless constructions, oval curves, narrow rectangles—plus one futuristic model with a wraparound silhouette.
The collection was unveiled through a campaign film set in a late-night New York City diner, starring Rocky alongside rapper Nas. The film blends the past and present, with iconic ‘90s inspired scenes interpreted through the lens of Rocky’s aesthetic.
