424 and DITA Launch Limited-Edition Artoa.92 Sunglasses

DITA and 424 have officially launched their collaborative eyewear collection, the 424 x Artoa.92. This limited-edition release reimagines DITA’s established Artoa.92 aviator frame, infusing it with the distinctive distressed design aesthetic of Guillermo Andrade, the creative force behind the 424 brand. The collaboration, designed in Los Angeles and meticulously handcrafted in Japan, aims to blend DITA's renowned precision engineering with 424's characteristic Los Angeles street-inspired attitude. The core of the 424 x Artoa.92 is its Japanese-engineered titanium aviator frame, a testament to the fusion of two distinct design philosophies. The project is guided by a design concept titled "Perfection, Disturbed," which emphasizes the evolution of the eyewear through wear and personalization. Each pair of sunglasses is presented in a bespoke leather case, designed to evoke the worn and textured finishes commonly found in 424’s apparel collections. Further enhancing the personalization aspect, the packaging includes a piece of sandpaper, empowering the wearer to intentionally distress and scuff the titanium frame, thereby creating a unique, individualized piece over time. This approach allows each owner to contribute to the narrative and aesthetic development of their sunglasses. The exclusivity of this collaboration is underscored by its strictly limited production run. Globally, only 100 pairs of the 424 x Artoa.92 will be made available. This total quantity is divided equally between two distinct lens colorways. Fifty pairs will feature "Pigeon Blood" lenses, offering a rich, deep hue, while the remaining fifty pairs will be equipped with "Smoke" lenses, providing a more subdued and classic appearance. The 424 x Artoa.92 collection officially became available for purchase on September 18, 2026. The retail price for each pair is set at $595 USD. Distribution of these exclusive sunglasses is confined to a select few channels, ensuring their rarity. They are available exclusively through the DITA e-commerce platform, at DITA's flagship retail stores located in the United States, and at the 424 Flagship store situated on Melrose Place in Los Angeles. This strategic distribution aims to cater directly to the brand's dedicated clientele and collectors.
