Gentle Monster’s TEKKEN 8 Inferno sunglasses lets you become Kazuya Mishima

One of the coolest collabs from Gentle Monster has just been announced.

The unlikely mashup sees the Korean eyewear brand join forces with the Bandai Namco franchise fighting game TEKKEN for a full campaign that features protagonist Kazuya Mishima.

Named the Inferno CS1, the design plays off of Kazuya and his devil transformation caused by the devil gene. Officially working with TEKKEN 8, the entire campaign sees full TEKKEN artwork incorporated with the eyewear as Kazuya can be seen sporting the horn-inspired frames. The design further sees temple design with horn construction that emerges from the silver, jagged-edged structure.

Taking on more of a goggle shape, the eyewear is finished with a striking red mirrored lens to tie back into Kazuya’s fiery demonic eyes. As with all Gentle Monster collaborations, the packaging has been creatively designed to feature elements of the game like a box that is shaped like Kazuya’s signature gloves and the gym sack bag.

Priced at HK$‌4,050, these will be launching this week with special pop-ups in Seoul, Shanghai, Beijing, and Tokyo. Not a bad pair of shades to wear to your next King of Iron Fist Tournament.
