No no nooo nooo! Cos I get mine Bvlgari from B-Man, and the modell No. is 519 102/7C which is actually available for anyone.

The only thing which is custommade for Bono, is the silver clip, Bvlgari made him a big "B" letter instead of the originally a square shaped. Bot not on every shades has B-Man the big B. He had these on Time mag, at the Oprah show... Too much talkin...

Yup...That'd be the model, in the blue color.

Marcolin - Black rim, blue lenses, custommade with the dragon pearl inlay, wore at EMA 1999

Alain Mikli's 3214 - Used during PopMart Tour in different colours (yellow, orange, smoke, red)


I wanted to add, that sometimes Bono used custom coloured shades from the list above. For example RG 226S with light smoke lenses, Bvlgari 611 with lilac lenses, and Black Flys No.5 with transparent rim.

Nice work! I'm not seeing the Prada Miu Miu glasses that he's wearing right now during the Vertigo tour. I don't have the model number though.

Hi guys. Okay, this may sound like a bad idea to most of you, but would anyone here willing to send me any Bono-type shades (doesn't matter which style: The Fly, POPMart, Elevation, Vertigo....) for free, please? If anyone want to give away one of your shades to me, please email me: Dragon_316ca@yahoo.ca

(Keep in mind that I'm NOT willing to trade or exchange anything.................)

Why would anyone do that?

How many pairs of shades do you guys thinks the man has? :wink: :scratch:

Oh man! Who knows...He gives them away here and there...Gave a pair away during the Seattle #2 show. I'm sure he gets them free...Think about the marketing by Bulgari, D&G, Prada, Black Flys, etc.

The glasses he is wearing on the tour are NOT Prada Miu Miu....look again...Otto's got some good pics and I have a fan pic which clearly shows that its not the Miu...unless its a completely new model..

In the Seattle show on 4/25, I'm quite sure he had a few different shades on. These are the ones I'm talking about from Miu Miu:

OK...And the answer is?
 
i see a symbol in the rigth side of sunglasses in a B&W pic, but don't know to wich brand it belongs!!!

it's a big symbol with a litle round hole in the midle...
first time i saw it it looked like a head of snake but now don't know wtf it looks like!! come on, if you know the brand tell us please
 
Well, I enlarged a high-res photo that I had as well, and I'm guessing Diesel. But having a hard time finding this style online.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
 
C'mon Gabe :)

Anyway the dark ones on stage are MIU MIU, but dunno what brand are the red shades. Offstage now I saw on him a new blue/gray Bvlgari (looked really girlish :) and another crappy dark glasses. :)

They ARE Giorgio Armani's.... i had the same pair in Orange about 4 months ago, but the arm broke easily, and I got different shades to replace them... Unfortunately, the idiots in Sunglass Hut could not find a model number, but he did confirm they had been discontinued..... I don't know if he meant from the store, or by the manufacturer...

Well then I wasnt being given the runaround maybe...there is a place in Italy with online support...they just told me that indeed they were Armani....AND...that they were from an old line, had been discontinued, out of production...

:sad:
 
about the shades from the shows, i saw these on e-bay but doens't show the model... but take a look at pics, it's similar
