Maui Jim® Continues To Grow Relationship With Men's Fashion Brand, Grungy Gentleman

Last month, during NBA All-Star Weekend in New Orleans, Maui Jim co-sponsored an exclusive event with Grungy Gentleman and Timberland, fitting attendees with select styles to meet their needs and personal style. Over 40 A-list athletes, celebrities, stylists and media were outfitted with the likes of Tail Slide, Castles, and Summer Time, among others, bringing true aloha spirit to the French Quarter. Additionally, during New York Men's Fashion Week, several models in the Grungy Gentleman fashion show strutted down the runway sporting Maui Jim's fashionable sunglasses, completing the looks while showcasing the latest in men's fashion. This included New York Knicks players Mindaugas Kuzminskas wearing Red Sands, and Justin Holiday wearing Pilots.

"Continuing to work with Jace and his amazing lifestyle brand showcases the versatility and design of our Maui Jim sunglasses, which can work very well in the fashion world," said Craig LaManna, director of global brand activation at Maui Jim. "As a lifestyle brand aligning with another, like-minded, lifestyle brand, we couldn't be happier to continue growing this relationship that brings style, quality and performance to the masses."

"Maui Jim is my go to for sunglasses. Their product allows me to see the outdoors in HD by eliminating all glare in the way," said Jace Lipstein, founder and designer of Grungy Gentleman. "Using Maui Jim shades on the runway is a natural fit because they are part of my daily routine. They are stylish and serve a purpose. Just like everything you wear should."

Maui Jim made Jace an official brand ambassador in 2016, and has sponsored multiple Grungy Gentleman events over the past two years, including his last four runway shows in New York.  Jace himself wears Maui Jim sunglasses exclusively, preferring the Flat Island, Mavericks, and Tail Slide styles.
