9FIVE BLOG

At 9FIVE, we're proud to see our frames making waves, and there's no better example than when newly retired, Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce sported our sunglasses on his hit podcast, New Heights, co-hosted with his brother, Travis Kelce. These weren’t just any sunglasses—our bold and refined design was gifted to Jason by none other than ESPN analyst Marcus Spears during an episode of Monday Night Football.

Handcrafted with precision and designed for those who demand more from their eyewear, 9FIVE is synonymous with luxury, performance, and unique style. When Marcus Spears selected these frames for Jason, it was more than just a gift—it was a nod to what 9FIVE stands for: blending functionality with undeniable flair. Our sunglasses are made for those who know how to own their presence, and Jason Kelce’s moment in the spotlight proved just that.

Since that episode aired, fans of the New Heights Podcast have been buzzing about Jason’s shades, putting 9FIVE at the center of the conversation. We’re thrilled to see our frames not only embraced by athletes like Jason Kelce but also becoming part of iconic moments in pop culture.

Nearly 15 years ago, we introduced one of our very first frames, the Caps. This over-size fan favorite has become one of our all-time best sellers.

Today, we would like to introduce a new modernized version of the Caps, called the Aura. While designing the Aura, it was essential for the Aura XL and the Caps to have nearly identical frame widths, lens widths, and temple lengths.

Although similar to the Caps, the Aura’s uniqueness lies in within its details. A trimmed down frame and lens height, along with sleek arms, makes the overall frame lighter for an all day wear. We also added our signature gold temple trim to give them an elevated appearance.

Like all 9FIVE Eyewear, the Aura comes in black handmade Italian acetate, sturdy five-barrel hinges, and 24k gold plated metal accents. The Aura is available in both regular and XL sizes. Check them here today!

Introducing our newest frame, the Lotus. While the Lotus is an entirely new model, we've taken some design cues and inspiration from a couple of our standout models - the 40s and St. James. As a result, we've create a new vintage-style silhouette featuring premium materials, sleek design, and meticulous detailing. Take a closer look at them here!

Introducing the X01, this new frame sits at the intersection of modern luxury and vintage fashion. Showcased by its sleek design, premium handmade acetate, and 24k gold detailing, the X01 is truly a masterpiece that you must see for yourself. Shop now, exclusively on 9FIVE.com.

We're excited to announce that we have partnered up with long-time fan of 9FIVE, Marcus Spears  @mspear96 . We've worked closely with Marcus bringing to life our XL Collection which features everything we love about 9FIVE, but with a wider fit, bigger style.
