Looks great on you JMigs! Wearing the Rodeo noirs reminds me how fat of a head I have. They actually look narrow on my face. Also, don’t have a suitable nose bridge for them as the bottom of the frames sit on my cheeks, which isn’t comfortable.

Excited to pick up my new lenses from the fantastic Anthony Aiden Optical in NYC. If you wanna do your JMM prescription lenses justice I highly recommend taking a visit.
My Saints were done at 88 optical in NYC, while a bit cheaper (not drastically) they just don't have the same investment or eye for nailing color as Anthony

We did my Enzo's with a light pink gradient that Transitions to a dark amythest gradient.

Indoor lighting, light pink gradient:

Shady outdoor lighting, Amythest gradient:

Direct sunlight, amythest gradient:

Stock lenses (not transitions or my script)

Hard to capture the subtle gradient in full light, but Anthony did a great job figuring out the amount of gradient. Also excited the indoor pink gradient isn't too dramatic and works very nicely.

I originally was thinking green no gradient or transition, but Anthony sort of knows my taste so he was like "no we shouldn't do that, here's what I think would look way cooler", not an up sell or anything, he was totally right. Going by the gradient frames he wears himself he really knows what works.

For sure if you're in NY go in and have him run some ideas by you. They told me they're basically all in on JMM (most of their inventory) partly cause it has such a knowledgeable cult following that the customer's are really fun and adventurous.

Anthony and Jerome need to do a store exclusive collab they have very compatible taste.

Tempted by the Kobos. Any word on when they'll be available on the JMM site?

Those look great. Do you mind sharing the price? I was thinking about pink-ish transitions for my upcoming argyle Fellinis. Optical 88 did a good (and cheap!) job on my simple Zeph47 opticals, but the gradient is quite interesting.

Is the Japanese-inspired collection just this drop, or is it something Jerome plans to explore further. Does anyone know? I'm also kinda interested in the Kobo, but also kinda interested in seeing what else is coming down the line.

@YoungM cant recall exactly, between 400 and 500. My transitions from optical 88 were like 300 to 400 unless I'm completely mistemembering.
