After being named Ray-Ban’s first-ever creative director in early 2025, A$AP Rocky has released his big one titled the Wayfarer Puffer Crystal Collection.

When Rocky isn’t busy cooking up beats for his unreleased album, Don’t Be Dumb, or turning looks with his boo, Rihanna, the creative is putting in work creating frames like Ray-Ban customers have never seen before. The “Fashion Killa” rapper’s three-piece collection consists of all upgraded Wayfarer styles, a staple silhouette for Ray-Ban.

The result is crystalized creations including the Crystal for $292, Crystal Pavé for $701 and the ultra boujee Diamond for $6,721.00. The collection captures A$AP Rocky’s signature aesthetic and Ray-Ban’s craftsmanship at its peak. Every style can be shopped on Ray-Ban’s website now.

Instead of the thin frame the Wayfarer is well known for, these Rocky models have been exaggerated, made blocky with sculptural curves and high-octane finishes, hence the “puffer” title. It’s safe to say that these are statement-makers, meant for those who aren’t afraid to draw attention. The Crystal Pavé edition is the first on our radar, retailing for $701.

The Polished Blue silhouette is one of our favorites. It’s covered in high-shine pavé crystals and finished with gold detailing that makes the silhouette pop. The frames sit high on the bridge of the nose, eclipsing a standard amount of the wearer’s face. If you’re in the market for bold eyewear with detailing you won’t find anywhere else, the Crystal Pavé is your best bet.

The Crystal is a more subdued silhouette, but still boasts a ton of dazzling qualities. Retailing for $292, one of the more affordable options, the style comes in black with a crystal temple logo and silver accents, the direct opposite of the Pavé model. The shine is subdued but still pops against the all-black background.

Once again, you’ve got a blockier frame that is much more fashion-forward than the regular slim Wayfarer. Being that this is the most affordable option of the bunch, it still manages to steal the show. The puffy frames are a game-changer, one we haven’t seen from any other brand before.

Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer Diamond Edition

Black sunglasses with diamonds and 14k gold finishings.

There’s nothing sexier than black sunglasses, unless, of course, they’re encrusted with diamonds. Finally, we have the Diamond edition, which retails for $6,721. Don’t let the subdued silhouette fool you. These sunglasses are absolutely dripping in gold and diamonds, hence the price tag. The glasses are affixed with hand-set diamonds and 14k gold finishings that contrast the black frames nicely. This is an investment piece for sure, but one we’d recommend getting if you want your black sunglasses to have a little more oomph to them than your standard style.

The price tag is hefty, heavily due to the materials used and attention to detail. These are sunglasses that, if treated with care, will last you a lifetime. Don’t just take our word for it. With Rocky’s stamp of approval to back it, this collection must be a banger.

Beyond being an accomplished musician and Billboard chart regular, Rocky has made a name for himself in the fashion landscape. It’s no wonder Ray-Ban bestowed him with a creative director title. The star’s first collection with the brand was titled Blacked Out Collection, a sort of test drive of his new role, which included oversized silhouettes, gold accents and ultra-dark lenses.
