Powerplant

We teamed up with famed Los Angeles motorcycle shop Powerplant on a new frame called P16.

These sunglasses draw heavy inspiration from Southern California motorcycle culture, featuring a classic silhouette with bolted rivets at each end, engraved paisley designs on the temple tips and faceted corners. The build is finished off with Powerplant’s metal-plated P16 insignia on each temple.

Each set of P16s includes a custom-designed carrying case with padded inner lining, zip closure, and velcro straps to attach to your bike frame for easy access while riding.

As a self-professed “sunglass connoisseur,” Nine One Seven founder and professional skateboarder Alex Olsen connected with AKILA to create something that embodied both brands’ affinity for fresh looks and classic-inspired design.

The result is Noslos, a chunky rectangular frame influenced concurrently by streetwear and high-end style. Its slightly oversized silhouette is finished with triple-riveted frame ends and temples to add subtle flare and extra durability for your next skate run.

Keith Haring was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers, and performers whose work responded to urban street culture of the 1980s.

He was known for his iconic line work which continues to inspire street muralists and pop artists alike, and was featured in more than 100 exhibitions during his life. Keith believed art should be readily accessible to the public, coining the phrase "Art is for everybody."

AKILA has created a collection of eyewear that pays tribute to his distinct style and celebrates his legacy of making great designs available to all.
