Vintage FOVS Italy Custom Shield Sunglasses NOS Sports Glasses w/ Box

Vintage FOVS Italy Custom Shield Sunglasses NOS w/ Original Box Made in Italy

A fantastic piece of late-1980s to early-1990s Italian sports eyewear design. These vintage FOVS Italy shield sunglasses capture the bold performance aesthetic that defined the era, featuring a lightweight wraparound construction, oversized mirrored shield lens, and distinctive Italian detailing throughout.

Presented in unworn New Old Stock condition and accompanied by the original retail display box, this is a rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly hard-to-find example of vintage European sports eyewear exactly as it was originally sold.

The combination of the original packaging, Italian manufacture, and aggressive shield styling makes these equally appealing to collectors of vintage eyewear, cycling memorabilia, motorsport enthusiasts, and fans of iconic performance design.

This frame remains New Old Stock and appears never worn. The original box is included and displays expected age-related storage wear consistent with vintage packaging. The sunglasses themselves present exceptionally well and have been carefully inspected by Second Chance Eyewear.

Collector Notes

Vintage performance eyewear has experienced a resurgence among collectors, cyclists, motorsport enthusiasts, and fashion-forward eyewear collectors. Original examples accompanied by their factory packaging have become increasingly difficult to source, particularly from lesser-known Italian manufacturers whose production numbers were significantly smaller than those of major sports eyewear brands.

The original display box elevates this example beyond a typical vintage shield, offering a complete period-correct presentation rarely found today.
