Sustainably built sunglasses inspired by history's greatest looks
Walden is all about stripping away unnecessary details in favor of simplicity. Their premium sunglasses are manufactured with sustainable materials and designed to be highly versatile, subtly elevating your style and your experience every time you step outside. To ensure their shades truly last a lifetime, Walden turned to history’s most tried-and-true frames as the blueprints for their designs—no trends or fads, only the icons. The Pinion is their take on ‘pilot’ military sunglasses that were worn off the battlefield post WWII, and it boasts the kind of good looks you can pair with a Metallica t-shirt or a full suit and tie.
