Put a Some Sizzle in Your Suns with the Badgley Mischka “Steve” Men’s Aviator Sunglass — The Latest Release from Sama and Badgley Mischka!

You’ll remember in late June that a brand new Badgley Mischka sunglass model — the Steve — was spotted on NBA forward Danny Granger at Sama’s West Hollywood boutique.  While the model hadn’t been publicly-released yet, we called up Sama and asked if we could get our hands on two of the Steves for ourselves.

We loved the big, bold frame — especially when coupled with the special edition 24K yellow gold and 18k white gold flash coated lenses from Sama.  The first of the Badgley Mischka Steve sunglasses arrived this week at Urban Optiques and all we can say is “wow.”

Guys, understand that this is not a sunglass for the man who wants to fade into the crowd. Nor is it for the faint of heart.

There is no way that you can put on the Steve and not get noticed.  It’s a very sexy sunglass, made all the sexier by the brilliant genuine 24K gold flash coating on the lenses. We see this working its magic best paired with a fantastic, custom-tailored suit — but Danny Granger shows that you can also pull it off with workout gear (not recommending this, just saying …)

The Badgley Mischka Steve is so new, in fact, that there’s a good chance that whoever buys the first pair will be one of only a handful of lucky men to be first seen in this very cool sunglass.  Will it be you?

Check out the pictures below that we snapped of the Badgley Mischka Steve in the boutique this week.

The New Carl Zeiss i-Terminal at Urban Optiques Uses Advanced Digital Scanning Technology to Produce Lenses That Are 100% Customized to You.

If you’ve stopped into Urban Optiques lately, you’ll notice a new piece of equipment in the front optical studio: The Carl Zeiss i-Terminal.

Many of you will recognize the name “Carl Zeiss.”

Zeiss is considered the leader in precision optics and their lenses are used in everything from microsurgery to scientific research, Hollywood filmmaking, the U.S. space program and yes, eyeglasses.

So when we had a chance to sign-on to a pilot program with a new piece of lens-fitting equipment from Zeiss specifically-designed to work with the Zeiss’ 100% Customized premium lens portfolio, we’re thrilled to be one of only six Michigan optometry practices to offer the Zeiss i-Terminal (and only one of two in Metro-Detroit.)

Zeiss Individual Lenses & i-Terminal: Lenses Customized for You

The Zeiss i-Terminal represents the cutting-edge of lens-fitting technology.

Part computer, part optical scanner, the i-Terminal takes nearly all of the guesswork out of fitting both progressive and single vision lenses and provides you with 100% personalized lenses, customized to your prescription, frame, face and personal preferences.
