The rounded shape of the Abeno can be traced to the 1970s when the students of Boston universities wore a certain style of glasses, which were later on named as Boston frames. They are characterized by an inverted triangular design. They create a flattering visual balance and a less overwhelming look than many circular frames.

The Amethyst lens suppresses direct glare while enhancing the texture and depth of white objects and landscapes, ensuring greater clarity. The balance of natural color and contrast makes it ideal for winter sports and alpine adventures, and helps you navigate bright, high-altitude environments with ease.

    ABENO

    Boston Frame

    The emergence of the modern Boston shape trend can be traced to the 1970s, but round lens styles are some of the oldest styles of sunglasses. They are based on early metal frames, when lenses could only be cut round.

    Since then, they’ve been established as a timeless style, evolving with tweaks and updates like elongated corners, or brow line accents.

    Premium lenses

    All Shinzo Tamura frames feature premium polarized TALEX lenses, handmade in Osaka, Japan. The filter is designed to block 99% harmful UV rays - helping you keep your eyes healthy and see clearer.

    Perfect fit

    The non-slip nose-pads are made from skin friendly elastomer, providing the perfect fit. Flexible titanium arms relief pressure, and give Shinzo Tamura frames a distinct and classic style.

    Light & durable

    Shinzo Tamura frames are perfectly balanced, ultra light, and made from non-aging nylon material, perfect for an active lifestyle. The double-molded frames are flexible, extremely durable, and do not deform.

    The hinges are molded into the frame itself and benefit from the flexible and durable properties of the nylon material.

    The lense performed as advertised, fantastic. I wish the lense and frame are larger.

    I was looking for a reasonable pair of sunglasses for taking walks in the snow. These came up via Google and I’m glad I gave them a try.
    They arrived in a really nice box with proper explanations on how to set up the nose pads. Which I really appreciated. They fit well, and they don’t slide down the nose. Not even when I’m getting a bit sweaty from walking faster.
    I also want to talk about the lens. They say it’s especially made for snow, and you can see that. The instantly give you contrast and let you see the subtle differences in the snowy landscape. And I’d say they really work best on a blue bird day, when it’s really bright out. The effect get a little less when it’s slightly overcast. But they still work of course.
    Overall, I’m very satisfied with these. Thank you!

    I have bought this pair after seeing a post on Insta. And I really love them they are light and very flexible. The lenses are actually quite amazing. They don’t darken your view like som many other sunglass lenses. Everything looks “real”.
    My only critique are the thin arms. I wish they were a bit wider/thicker. But they fit the thin frame well.

    Hi Alison, thanks for your feedback. The Abeno is our lightest and thinnest frame, which is mostly visible in the temples, as they follow the lightness of the main frame.

    I had these in non-mirror finish before, and exchanged them for mirrored lenses. Simply because I don’t like how light the lenses were. But these are doing the trick!
    The lens quality is very good. They definitely talk proudly about their Japanese lenses, but they are extremely good. No distortion or wave effect from the polarization. I can look at my phone and see everything. Same with the display in my car. And I’ve had problems with polarized lenses and visibility before. But these are great. Only a bit light in color.
