Japanese eyewear giant "JINS" has carved out a name for itself in the glasses market by consistently delivering innovative, trend-setting styles that defy tradition. With a dizzying array of designs, there's always something fresh to choose from.
Today (July 14), JINS announced an epic collaboration with "Ghost in the Shell: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL," whose new anime series just premiered this July! This partnership brings a collection of exclusive frames, including a super limited run of 1,000 "electronic dimming sunglasses." Get ready to upgrade your look, because these drop on July 16, 2026!
To celebrate the premiere of the latest TV anime, "Ghost in the Shell: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL," which kicked off on July 7, 2026, JINS has unleashed this special collaborative series.
The collection draws inspiration from the high-tech gear worn by characters in the series, transforming futuristic devices into real-world eyewear. These frames not only capture the essence of the anime but also prioritize everyday comfort and practicality, creating "daily gear" that's both stylish and functional.
The absolute showstopper of this collection is JINS' *first-ever* electronic dimming sunglasses, limited to a mere 1,000 pairs worldwide!
Utilizing liquid crystal dimming film technology, these shades automatically adjust their tint based on ambient light, no manual switching required. Beyond channeling the near-future aesthetic of "Ghost in the Shell," their overall design screams cyber-tech cool. Plus, you can fine-tune the angle to fit your face and wearing preferences, ensuring both comfort and an immersive experience.

The temples can be adjusted to three different angles for a snugger fit, and they come with a glasses strap inspired by "Ghost in the Shell"'s iconic QRS plug design. While the lenses automatically switch between clear and tinted based on environmental light, please note they do not support prescription lenses and cannot be replaced.
But wait, there's more! The collection also drops two types of optical frames, available in four sleek styles. Inspired by the goggles worn by characters in the anime, these frames offer a fresh, cyberpunk reinterpretation. Crafted from aluminum alloy and stainless steel, they exude a cool, mechanical vibe with sharp, clean lines.
What's more, they feature JINS' proprietary "all-direction movable hinge," boosting frame flexibility and wearing comfort.
