Experiment No. 1 – Skateboard Shades from Shwood Eyewear on Vimeo.
A while back now I had a great opportunity to tour the faculity of the Shwood headquarters, (you may remember that post) Anyways catch up with the crew with their new line of sunglasses via this awesome promo video they released!
Follow Shwood’s own Eric Singer as he meets up with Keith Hufnagel and others to claim the streets of LA in pursuit of Shwood’s latest experiment, sunglasses made from broken skateboard decks. Crafted entirely in Shwood’s local woodshop, this one-of-a-kind pair of sunglasses was created out of curiosity, just to see what was possible.
