Portland, Oregon (October 20, 2025) – Reborn from the mid 90s when style had grit and sport had edge, Smith unveils the relaunch of the iconic Slider series with a new sunglass style that pays homage to the epic collection. The first patented dual lens interchangeable sunglasses hit the market in 1995 with a unique rotating lens design that changed how we saw the world; worn by those who moved differently on the hill, in the streets, and through the noise. True to its launch, the new Slider maintains its disruptive DNA with an 8-base wraparound frame and three sets of lenses for changing looks, attitudes, and activities.
The lifestyle-led performance design integrates modern upgrades including lightweight and durable Evolve bio-based frame material and ChromaPop lens technology to keep the future in focus with contrast and color-boosting optics. For added comfort and durability, megol nose pads and temple tips provide a no-slip grip when reacting to perspiration and moisture while auto lock hinges hold the frame open for easy one-hand on and off.
Available in four color options, the Slider is now offered exclusively with ChromaPop installed lenses designed to cut glare while enhancing definition, natural color, and unmatched clarity, and includes smudge and moisture-resistant coatings for easy cleaning and clear optics. Each pair comes with an installed sun tint with two additional sets of lenses in ChromaPop Low Light Copper and Clear with a custom Smith Archive Collection fleece pouch with spare lens storage.
