Satisfaction RS

This model features turquoise Atlantis lenses that evoke the rebellious and groundbreaking spirit of the song. The aviator style, a staple of rock fashion, is complemented by intricate design details that pay homage to the band’s aesthetic during their early years​​​​.
Sympathy RS
Inspired by: “Sympathy for the Devil”
The Sympathy RS model captures the dark, enigmatic allure of “Sympathy for the Devil.” This frame is an aviator style with etched hexagon patterns on the lenses, reflecting the song’s themes of temptation and sin. The design embodies a sense of mystery and sophistication, much like the track itself, which has been a staple in the band’s repertoire since its release.
Flash RS
Inspired by: “Jumpin’ Jack Flash”
The Flash RS model embodies the energetic and explosive character of “Jumpin’ Jack Flash.” This frame features a dynamic, curved design that mirrors the song’s powerful riffs and high-octane spirit. The Flash RS is all about movement and vitality, making it a fitting tribute to one of The Rolling Stones’ most electrifying tracks​​.
Rainbow RS
Inspired by: “She’s a Rainbow”
The Rainbow RS frame is a vibrant, shield-like design that celebrates the colorful and psychedelic essence of “She’s a Rainbow.” The multi-colored lenses and bold frame structure capture the song’s kaleidoscopic imagery and its celebration of diversity and beauty. This model is perfect for those who want to make a bold statement, both in fashion and in homage to the band’s diverse musical legacy.
