As its name makes very clear, this boldly oversized squared navigator builds directly upon the distinctive inclusive spirit of the modern Balmain Army, as well as the house’s eight-decade history of incorporating the sleek lines of precise French military tailoring into the finest Parisian couture offerings. Relying on impeccable Japanese craftsmanship, the SOLDIER sets its lenses inside a duo frame that artfully melds a premium titanium inner-eye rim inside an outer rim crafted from the finest Japanese acetate. Singular luxury Balmain embellishments include hand-painted enamel motifs paired with an attention-grabbing, tactile repeating geometric titanium pattern, as well as additional pressed acetate detailing. As always, this timeless Balmain design is designed to endure, incorporating the qualities of tenacity, strength and security that help set apart today’s Balmain Army. The SOLDIER is available and inspired by the most familiar tones of the house’s runway offerings: black/gold with grey graduated lenses that riffs on Olivier Rousteing’s acclaimed Egyptian-inspired collections.
Here at Shade Station, we are proud to be the first ever company able to offer next day delivery on premium Zeiss, Essilor and standard lenses, a service that cannot be matched by any high street opticians.
