The Austyn Shade By Austyn

[Watson]

looks great on both women and men. Say hello

[SIMPLY]

hello

[bigbevev]

i have a gap in my two front teeth, but i really do not get why people think it's cute to have that spongebob "London look"

[Violator]

$200?  Goodbye.

[h00man]

He's Austyn Gillette! What will he do next?!

[shannamal]

$200?  Goodbye.

that's like..pretty standard pricing for glasses. when you get past the happy hour shades level bullshit, nice glasses are priced around this level.

[heckler]

I go back and forth between thinking "Austyn deserves to get hooked this year," and "it's pretty funny that Austyn Gillette is essentially sponsorless this year." I'll let you guess which response this evokes from me.

Doesn’t explain why these cost that much…

HUF fucked him over essentially, and I’m pretty sure that’s how he thinks of it too. He essentially wasted a full part between HUF 001-002, which was essentially his big money sponsor. I’m sure WKND wasn’t that great money, and to dip for them in the hopes of getting on an FA brand. His former teammates could all start something. I think Elijah, Sean Pablo, Rowan, Donovan would all look much better on a team like that, plus Louie.

[Jean-Ralphio Zaperstein]

Is this gonna turn into another "___ on FA" thread ?

[sexualhelon]

Probably take another year to release some more cool marble tortoise tinted stuff.

Maybe because they're not cheap shitty glasses? How many of you guys have bought legit sunglasses before?
You do realize that the $150-$300 range is typically how much they cost right

Also - shouldn't this be under the Shoes & Gear section?

[somedudefromnj]

What board is he sensoring in his instagram story? If HUF drops that team I am never buying a huf product again...not that my pennies matter

Did Huf not pay him?

ACTUALLY!! Those prices are artificially inflated. The company that makes nearly every brand of sunglasses on earth, Luxottica, has a monopoly on luxury eyewear and can charge whatever they want. 60 minutes actually has a really good piece on this. Worth your time!

[doctorkickflip]

Also I have to say they do NOT look good on men. Austyn is a handsome dude and not even he looks good in them.

[GAY]

I'd definitely spring for an Austyn Gillette-branded mustache comb if it retailed for under $70.

Ha, I actually remember learning that while working under that conglomerate for a few years.
That price inflation thing is pretty fucked. Didn't Nike do that same thing with the Janoski when it started popping off? I could be wrong

I couldn’t possibly be a bigger fan of this guy, so it really hurt to see those hideous sunglasses.

You’re better than this Austyn.

[Windsor Knot]

Nah sorry they're woman's glasses. 1950s women's glasses

Cat-eye shaped sunglasses are primarily marketed towards women.
Epokhe trying to pitch this as a "unisex" set of glasses is cool, but also not that easy

[coyote2425]

Went for a stroll on their Insta to see what their other shades are like. I'm not a huge fan of these, but this post does them more justice.

[Stoop Kid 2.0]

That chick looks like the evil spongebob drawing.

I feel bad about this^
but Dylan literally did this already is all I'm saying. Austyn is a great skateboarder.

this dude will never be dylan.

[Budgie Lasek]

Those look like women's frames to me too...

Sunglasses get lost, scratched and/or broken... eventually. That's the whole original reason for starting Happy Hour. I'm down with that approach. I had expensive sunglasses and I still put a heavy travel bag on them and destroyed them by mistake.

[Larry Dallas]

Nope.
