Return Of An Icon: SMITH Relaunches The Slider Series Sunglass

Reborn from the mid 90s when style had grit and sport had edge, SMITH unveils the relaunch of the iconic Slider series with a new sunglass style that pays homage to the epic collection. The first patented dual lens interchangeable sunglasses hit the market in 1995 with a unique rotating lens design that changed how we saw the world; worn by those who moved differently on the hill, in the streets, and through the noise. True to its launch, the new Slider maintains its disruptive DNA with an 8-base wraparound frame and three sets of lenses for changing looks, attitudes, and activities.

The lifestyle-led performance design integrates modern upgrades including lightweight and durable Evolve™ bio-based frame material and ChromaPop™ lens technology to keep the future in focus with contrast and color-boosting optics. For added comfort and durability, megol nose pads and temple tips provide a no-slip grip when reacting to perspiration and moisture while auto lock hinges hold the frame open for easy one-hand on and off.

Available in four color options, the Slider is now offered exclusively with ChromaPop™ installed lenses designed to cut glare while enhancing definition, natural color, and unmatched clarity, and includes smudge and moisture-resistant coatings for easy cleaning and clear optics.  Each pair comes with an installed sun tint with two additional sets of lenses in ChromaPop Low Light Copper and Clear with a custom Smith Archive Collection fleece pouch with spare lens storage 

Celebrating past, present, and future, the new Slider (MSRP $197 USD / $215 CDN / €175 EUR / $225 AUS) is available now at select retailers worldwide and online at smithoptics.com.
