The Definitive What The Heck Are Those Shades Bono is Wearing Thread

[Boltiziar]

You are welcome my U2 friend, so sometimes try to check ebay and I hope you will find your favorite color . Thi is the best way to grabe them.

Thanks for the info and link with pictures! I've always confused the 2 shades of KJ1. In fact, I even bought the wrong one I was intending.

Anyone have a near mint EA 9285s KJ1/95 and would like to trade it for my KJ1/NA ?

Normal price for that sunglasses in excellent condition is approximately 300 USD, of course it´s depend on model - color lenses.

Not a bad call, but I need better closeups of the ones B is wearing. The frame seems "thicker" than the Mosleys. But the shape..pretty damn close

Checked the pics on tour posts...
Absolutely not the same arms. Not Mosley Tribes Enforcer...
Any one has a guess ?

 

[WhosGonnaRide]

Tom Ford
Model: Edward Square

???

 

[WhosGonnaRide]

Before the opening show of the IE Tour, Bono was wearing Tom Ford "Ryder" Sunglasses in Vancouver...so...mu guess goes to Tom Ford "Edward Square" used on Tour.

 

[gvox]

Holy shit he really IS copying me now!! Lmao

Edit: he may be wearing Tom fords, but definitely not the Edward square

No Tom Ford.
None has the same arms than the aviator he's wearing on stage...

Bono's doesn't have the classic "bridge protector" that original aviator styles have, either. I'm probably not using the right terminology for it.

In cruising thru the Tom Ford catalog, tho, I have to say that the FT 0380 (in colorway 14B) are one damn smart pair of shades. Might have to cop me a pair

Anyways, here's a really good shot, should be more than enough to go on:

These shades are actually kinda sick, for once he's a bit more up to date. lol. I think they're going to be a "big fit" kind of shades, but I can definitely see myself wanting them.

Still no guess. Checked aviator from Dior, Chanel, Vuitton, Bvlgari, Armani, Maui Jim, Oliver People's, exte, Revo, Burberry, d&g, Gucci, Tom Ford, Zegna, Prada... It's never the exact same arms. The closest were Burberrys...

 

[WhosGonnaRide]

No guess too...

I'm a bit disapointed about these shades.... not the "shades" itself, but, i'm used to see Bono wearing THE shades, different shades, (bvlgari, mikli) etc etc....

And now....aviators. not ray ban, but...aviators. they're cool to wear off stage, but...aviators... Isn't the BONO SHADES!!!..it's some cool "aviators"

Arms are close... Not the same. But close.

 

[honestjoe]

closeups

 

[gvox]

Those arms are really distinctive. Surely only one or two brands that feature that uniquely. Is that some sort of stone/crystal embedded the arm, also? I like these a lot, don't know what you guys are bemoaning. His last few pairs, while certainly unique to him, have been decidedly dated and not really fashionable.

[WhosGonnaRide]

Yap, agree.

Another guess: LANVIN.... i think the arms must be from the brand LANVIN. Google it: "Lanvin metal aviator sunglasses"

 

[gvox]

I think you're really on to something here..

[KurtOblivion]

I got three more pictures.

Here are the pictures from an interview. I don't think that's a diamond embedded but has more the look of a logo. No Chanel; Versace; Valentino.
Hope this will help you guys!

 

[WhosGonnaRide]

Thanks, very cool pics.

Nobody knows someone who knows someone, that knows someone, from the tour staff to ask directly to Bono?

It's hard. The problem is that they can be shades from a brand already spoken here, but a model that is only sold in the near future.

 

[KurtOblivion]

Also hoping

Yeah, that will be great. But, dude, I don't know. Let's begin with the lenses: Bono used this pair of sunglasses also in the interview with Jimmy Fallon. In that interview lenses were dark blue, but now, for the tour, lenses are light purple (near to the rosé).
The frame is large aviator (I suppose 49mm).
We should find big pictures so we could see the logo and find the brand.

 

[KurtOblivion]

Found the brand (maybe) not really sure but the logo is pretty similar...
"Electric" is the brand.

 

[WhosGonnaRide]

They're pretty similar to Electric AV2, but... not the same model. The sunglasses that bono is wearing have a bridge that goes from a temple to another. This "AV2" have a normal bridge. Maybe could be an Electric model that is not on the Electric website.

 

[gvox]

Yeah Bono's are more square, also
