Equal parts evolution and revolution, Optima challenges preconceived design philosophies and tests the limits of contemporary eyewear production. Borrowing its name from the Latin word for best, Optima styles are extraordinarily challenging to produce and often available in extremely limited supply.

HANDCRAFTED IN JAPAN

Designed to accompany today’s modern explorers as they pilot towards tomorrow’s destinations and discoveries, Akoni’s Skyracer clearly draws upon the timeless functional stylings of the spacecraft program, spotlighting the essential necessity of sleekly pairing the greatest possible strength with remarkable lightness. And, as always, Akoni’s dedication to intelligent luxury translates into a perfectly balanced design whose singular artisanal richness impresses upon close inspection. A house logo is discretely etched atop custom brow bars. Striking double rims outlining lenses are balanced by equally compelling perforated side shields. Temples, embellished with Akoni’s signature tactile knurling pieces, are finished off with branded tips and custom screws—and all of these one-of-a-kind embellishments are hand-crafted by respected Japanese artisans, relying only on Japan’s finest titanium.
