Guess Who's In The Chad's Now...

NBA superstar Tyson Chandler stopped by our Bond st. location and picked up a pair of our best-selling Chad sunglasses after previewing our collection with none other than Selima herself! What can we say -we look up to not only his moves on the court, but also his sartorial direction as well.

*Note that since Mr. Chandler is quite tall, he opted for our Chad 2, which is one size larger than the classic Chad frame.
