Why you should check out the Jrue Holiday x Zenni eyewear collab

There are essentially three main styles of glasses you’re going to find in this collection. First, there are the classic aviator, two lens sunglasses that you know and love. You know this type of sunglasses can be used by everyone, so be sure to use the “Try On” button to open up your cam and give them a virtual wear. You’ll often find descriptions of how to match the glasses to a face shape to help you as well. The next style are a sort of one-lens sunglasses that create a face shield. Unlike ordinary sunglasses, it is much harder for the sun the reach your eyes — the area over your nose is protected, too. But, before you think these are going to look like a lab nerd’s safety goggles, think again, they are colorful and stylish with inspired shapes and designs. Finally, we get our regular read-a-book spectacles that come with an extra smart look to them. When Jrue models the glasses, he presents with that rare air of both confident athleticism and inner intellect, and you will too.

Next, it is really important to harp on affordability. The full collection has an impressive 85 members (though, admittedly, color variations each take their own spot in the Zenni shop), with 35 fitting into the under $30 categorization. That’s a large selection of incredibly affordable glasses. And the highest priced?  The Tenacity, which feature a muted colorations and stylish metal hinges, are just $56. Better yet, the Tenacity are a certifiable outlier. The next most expensive, the Crossover, feature thick rims in diverse styles and are just $43. After that, literally everything is $40 and under. So, if you want affordable NBA-tier sunglasses, these are the ones to go for. Tap the button to see everything the Jrue Holiday x Zenni eyewear collab has to offer. Then, go check out our favorite cheap online clothing stores for men for affordable fashion.
