Remember when we thought wallet chains, JNCOs wide enough to hide a small animal, and tying a flannel around your waist in the summer was the absolute peak of fashion?
For those of us who remember the 1990s, we looked like a bunch of ‘Losers,’ baby, but we swore embracing our inner-Mod Squad was fly. But fashion is a flat circle. No matter how as if! a trend seems, just wait… it will eventually come back around. What’s old is new, and right now, we’re all buggin’ out on a major ’90s kick based on how baggy everyone’s clothes are again these days.
It’s with great fanfare I bring you this news: One of the most iconic piece of ’90s face-tech is officially back from its hiatus.
Break out your Discman, because SMITH just re-launched the legendary Slider sunglasses. The retro-style shades with interchangeable lenses are now available over at SMITH Optics for $197.

Back in ’95, the SMITH Slider was da bomb. This was the first-ever patented dual-lens interchangeable sunglass, rocking a slick rotating design that changed the game. They were the signature look for anyone who wanted to drink lots of Mountain Dew and go rock climbing or snowboarding. They were shades from when kids raged against the machine and checked their Tamagotchis instead of social media.

The new Slider keeps that same disruptive, 8-base wraparound DNA but mixes in some hella 21st-century upgrades. The frame is made from Evolve™ bio-based material (totally righteous), and the lenses feature SMITH’s sick ChromaPop™ tech. This is way better than a scratched-up Dookie CD; ChromaPop boosts color and contrast so your world is in sharp, vivid focus, even if it’s a “Black Hole Sun” kind of day.
They even have megol nose pads so they stay put, even if you’re sweating it out in a mosh pit.
Each pair comes with the installed ChromaPop™ sun tint, plus two bonus lenses (Low Light Copper and Clear) and a sweet archive fleece pouch to store it all.
The past is back to define the future, like a (Rob) zombie. Here we are now, entertain us.
Stop trippin’ and go get yours over at SMITH Optics for $197.
