Just picked up a pair of Walker in Fade 2. They came with a green lens originally but I was able to switch to a blue JMM lens that they had leftover from another frame. We both agreed it fit the look better than the green, which seemed a little out of place. Fade 2 is much more subtle to Fade 1, but would perhaps be more noticeable with a gradient black to grey lens, which I'm considering. It was also tough to decide on the color, specifically between Fade 2 and Rover, but ultimately I realized I don't wear too many colors so felt this would fit my aesthetic a little better, even if it's less of a wow than the green of the Rover. What do y'all think?

Looks good, but not dissimilar to your other frames?
Definitely similar, but I don’t have a pair of black sunglasses yet. I like the Kaine, Ascari, Walker shapes and haven’t found others that’s fit me well (such as Dealan, Fellini, etc). I also have the Walker in Beige on order which is a pretty different color.

Walker look great 👍 Fade 2 is a fade to Grey rather than clear.

Those blue lenses look like they're from a Walker Marquina.

Just picked up my first pair of JMM and I wanted to swap out the lenses. I don't need an RX, and my local optician was quoting me $360 flat which seems absurd. Does that seem right? Who have have y'all been going through for custom lenses?
