Sabre Vision Crue Sunglasses
Here’s a look at a new summer sunglass style from Sabre Vision called the Crue. This is what Sabre have to say about them:
“Have you ever thought about robbing a bank? or even your local 7-11? Or even being involved in a re-issue 70’s porno video with your cousin’s friends? If you have the “CRUE” are the sunglasses for you! They will make you do things you once thought were way to fast for the standard prime time television slot. I’m talking about going to disneyland dressed like a gladiator on acid with your dog driving the car. What’s wrong all of a sudden became very right.”
Available now in both white and black colorways with a grey fade lens.
