For collectors and unique eyewear connoisseurs, Knockaround Limited Editions and Collaborations offer a chance to own one-of-a-kind Knockaround sets that include a uniquely designed pair of sunglasses, custom pouch, box, insert item and collector’s card. They’ve released a pair of G.I.Joe themed “Premium” sunglasses. Check out the press below –
If you’re a product of the 80’s or 90’s (like us here at Knockaround), then this white-starred word mark with red, white, and blue striping calls to mind collections of little plastic men, home-made forts, and ongoing battles between Duke and the evil Cobra Commander.
G.I. Joe is an American toy icon—you had the action figures, you watched the animated series, and you read the comic books…now, even if it’s years later, you can scoop up the shades. We’re excited to present the new G.I. Joe Premiums (literally decades in the making).
The G.I. Joe Premiums feature an army green frame with a woodland camo exterior and the iconic red, white, and blue striping that runs down the outside arms. These matte-finished frames are equipped with white Knockaround “K” logos and polarized American sunset lenses with the G.I. Joe star laser-etched in the upper corner. Designed on our best-selling frame, these sunglasses are form-fitting, universally flattering, and provide full UV400 sun protection.
Each pair is action-packed in a custom box with a protective pouch featuring the G.I. Joe Team’s Duke on one side and the evil Cobra Commander on the other, a custom woodland camo sticker, and the official Knockaround x G.I. Joe “comic book cover” collectors card.

Haven't seen these posted yet. Not My cup of tea, but I thought I'd share in case it pique's someone's interest. The bag looks awesome.

Yeah, those are pretty garish.
Dragasses says
Interesting. they actually look better than I would have thought something like that would have looked.
I'm keeping my 30 bones, though.

I keep looking for the "officially licensed" and I am not seeing it. Same with their Pepsi glasses. No mention of them being official.

For the douchebag in your life.

They need to make some Cobra ones, in blue with silver mirrored lenses.

And ordered, likely I will never wear them but dang they look like something straight outta the 80s.

These are for adults? As in full-grown human beings? Wow. Good luck and have fun to any who buy them, though.

I got them a few months ago. They are very cheaply made but the packaging and inserts are excellent.
