Designed with the couple and crafted by Zenni's in-house design and manufacturing team, the Fall 2026 frames start at $23.95 and are available exclusively at Zenni.com

NOVATO, Calif., Nov. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Zenni Optical, the online eyewear brand with more than 80 million frames sold worldwide, today announced the Fall 2026 Kittles x Zenni eyewear collection, featuring new round and oval frames designed by San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle and his wife, entrepreneur and tastemaker Claire Kittle. The collection includes 5 new frame designs and 21 returning styles in new colors, available exclusively at zennioptical.com/kittle-glasses-collection.

The Fall 2026 collection brings back fan-favorite styles while introducing two all-new frames. For Claire, the new First Look is a modern oval frame with handcrafted acetate, subtle metal Z logo accents, and offered in classic black and tortoise. For George, the new Tunnel Walk is a rounded silhouette available in black, translucent grey, and tortoise. The collection also adds fresh colorways to two Zenni favorites: the Traveler for George and the Gold Standard for Claire. Blending everyday versatility with fashion-forward design, the collection reflects the couple's distinct personal styles. The new rounded and oval shapes tap into the resurgence of '90s-inspired eyewear, a look appearing in recent designer collections from Saint Laurent to DKNY.
