Gundam's official fashion label, STRICT-G, has been a fan favorite, consistently teaming up with major Japanese and American brands to drop some seriously stylish apparel and accessories.
Now, they're back at it, announcing a fresh collaboration with Japanese sports eyewear powerhouse SWANS. This time, they're diving deep into the world of "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED FREEDOM" to bring fans a special pair of Athrun Zala-themed sunglasses. Priced at 22,000 JPY, these shades are currently available for pre-order on Bandai's Premium Bandai Japan website.

For over a century, Yamamoto Kogaku has been crafting top-tier optics, and SWANS is their testament to that legacy. Known for their professional-grade, made-in-Japan optical lenses, SWANS prioritizes wearer safety and health. Beyond their high functionality, their sporty and trendy designs have earned them a loyal following among professional athletes and everyday consumers alike for over 50 years.

The new STRICT-G × SWANS Athrun Zala collaboration sunglasses are built on SWANS' high-performance "STRIX D.A." sports series. This model is a go-to for top athletes and is specifically engineered for extended wear during activities like cycling and golf.
Key features include flexible temples that offer a secure yet comfortable fit, along with adjustable nose pads for personalized comfort, ensuring stability even during long periods of wear. It's a perfect blend of high functionality and superior comfort.
Drawing inspiration directly from Athrun's iconic look, the collaboration design features a sleek purple frame paired with smoky gray lenses. For an extra touch of fandom, the temples are subtly engraved with "ATHRUN ZALA."




And because every collector loves a good case, these sunglasses come with an exclusive semi-hard storage case, emblazoned with the collaboration logo, making them a true collector's item.

As a special bonus, every purchase of the STRICT-G × SWANS Athrun Zala collaboration sunglasses includes a brand-new, specially illustrated "Athrun Zala Eyewear Version Acrylic Stand." Not only is it a cool display piece, but it also doubles as a handy eyewear stand!
