Bolle Torque Sunglasses

This item is a pair of vintage-style performance sunglasses, specifically identified by the embossed branding on the temple arm. The sunglasses feature a translucent, deep cobalt blue frame constructed from molded plastic or polycarbonate. The temple arm is wide and tapers toward the ear, showcasing the word 'TORQUE' in a stylized, bold typeface alongside what appears to be a smaller numerical model designation '2.0'. The construction utilizes an integrated plastic hinge mechanism rather than traditional metal hardware, suggesting a lightweight, sport-oriented design characteristic of the late 1990s to early 2000s. The frame has a high-wrap or 'shield' style curvature, designed to sit close to the face for aerodynamic purposes and wind protection. The visible portion of the lens suggests a dark tint with a possible iridescent or multi-layer coating that reflects a rainbow-like spectrum at the edge. Condition-wise, the frames show light surface scratches and minor abrasions consistent with use and age. The luster of the blue plastic remains high, indicating minimal UV degradation. The hinge area appears intact without visible stress fractures. These sunglasses represent the era of 'wrap-around' performance eyewear popularized by brands like Bolle and Oakley during the turn of the millennium.
