A$AP Rocky: a creative vision in service of Ray-Ban
His real name is Rakim Mayers, and A$AP Rocky has established himself as an international reference on the hip-hop scene, recognized as much for his music as for his impact on the world of fashion.
His attention to detail and his ability to blend musical, artistic and fashion influences make him one of the most influential creative figures of his generation today. That’s exactly why Ray-Ban gave him the role of Creative Director: to revisit its icons without betraying their DNA.
The Ray-Ban A$AP Rocky universe
Some collaborations make noise. And then there are those that move a brand forward.
With A$AP Rocky, Ray-Ban revisits its iconic eyewear through a decidedly fashion-forward approach. The result: several collections with strong identities, taking the brand’s great classics and pushing them toward more volume, character and stylistic expression.
Metal Collection
It’s the latest addition and probably the most revealing of the direction Ray-Ban has taken.
Under the drive of Creative Director A$AP Rocky, this first metal collection marks a turning point. Presented in a campaign featuring A$AP Rocky and Nas, an iconic figure of New York hip-hop, the collection celebrates the dialogue between different generations of artists.
With this Ray-Ban A$AP Rocky Metal collection, the frames gain in finesse while maintaining a strong visual presence. The gold finishes add an almost jewelry-like dimension, while the rectangular and oval shapes strike a subtle balance between Ray-Ban heritage and contemporary aesthetics.

The Mega Wayfarer
Everyone knows the Ray-Ban Wayfarer. It’s probably one of the most recognizable shapes in the world.
With the Mega Wayfarer, the silhouette doesn’t change. It’s reinvented.
A thicker, all-black version designed by A$AP Rocky for the Blacked Out collection. Ultra-dark lenses, gold finishes, a discreet signature. The classic remains recognizable, pushed toward something sharper.

The Wayfarer Puffer
With the Wayfarer Puffer, A$AP Rocky doesn’t just revisit the Ray-Ban Wayfarer. He transforms it.
This model comes in ten shades, from the most understated to the most colorful, with a puffed-up frame and very dark lenses for a bold, confident style.

The Mega Clubmaster
With the Mega Clubmaster, A$AP Rocky reworks a Ray-Ban classic, giving it more impact. The 80s spirit is still there, pushed further: an all-black version, gold finishes, a reinforced brow line and thickened temples. It goes from an iconic model to a piece that immediately catches the eye.

The Mega Balorama
With the Mega Balorama, A$AP Rocky brings fresh momentum to one of Ray-Ban’s distinctive silhouettes. The vintage spirit remains, with a bold makeover: an all-black version, gold finishes, and a discreet tattoo-style signature on the temple tips.

With the Ray-Ban A$AP Rocky Metal collection and the reinterpretations of iconic models like the Mega Wayfarer, the Mega Clubmaster or the Mega Balorama, this collaboration confirms Ray-Ban’s desire to create a dialogue between heritage and contemporary creation. A vision where eyewear becomes much more than an accessory: a true style signature.
Some pairs from the Blacked Out collection are delivered in an exclusive box, customized with a photo of A$AP Rocky and a design inspired by the dollar bill, underscoring the iconic, collectible nature of this limited edition.
In terms of design, acetate or metal frames ensure real everyday durability, with comfort designed to last without compromising on aesthetics.
And to go even further in use, some models can also be fitted with prescription lenses, combining a bold style with optical needs.
