A&A Optical introduces Crocs Eyewear, bringing the relaxed, comfortable and distinctly fun Crocs spirit into eyewear. The unisex collection consists of 12 adult styles, featuring soft designs for women and clean-cut lines for men, all with flexible materials that support an active lifestyle. Incorporating the brand’s heritage, frames have sleek lines and the same unique, popular and vibrant color palettes that Crocs shoes are known for. The collection uses a variety of materials such as flexible polymer, ultra-lightweight stainless steel and hypoallergenic silicone rubber. Frames can be accompanied by the Croslite Guy, a fun eyewear holder in the shape of a Crocs shoe, available in multiple colors..
