Shady Spex is the culmination of the friendship between Babs' brother, drummer Sweet Joey Valentine, and DJ Jonathan Toubin. The duo endeavored to create an economically-priced quality sunglass brand based on styles worn by their rock 'n roll icons and friends, that feature quality protective lenses and recycled materials. The New York Night Train is inspired by the 1950s and 1960s rock 'n roll frames donned by Buddy Holly, Lightnin' Hopkins, Roy Orbison, Waylon Jennings, John Cale, Maureen Tucker, and other stylish music heroes. Microfiber pouch included.
