The Foremost frame captures the bold, sculptural character of 1970s eyewear design. Its oversized rounded-square silhouette features softly curved lower edges, a broad upper line, and gently angular outer corners, creating a distinctive balance between rounded and geometric forms. The translucent amber frame transitions from warm honey tones at the bridge and inner rims to deep reddish-brown at the outer edges, giving the design a striking two-tone appearance.

Historical Context
Foremost was an American eyewear brand known for its classic optical frames, with surviving examples establishing its presence in the United States by the 1950s and 1960s. The brand became particularly associated with substantial plastic frames, including the Hi-Note and Bowler models, which reflected the mid-century preference for strong, well-defined silhouettes.

Its designs featured broad temples, prominent hinges, and warm tortoiseshell or solid-colour finishes, combining practical construction with understated character. These mid-century styles offered a distinctive alternative to the slim metal frames also popular during the period.

Matt made my experience so awesome. I always find what I’m looking for with AZYR. This is my third pair from y’all, and I will continue to come back for more

Very clean and a neat add-on to what seems to be a soft launch to my sunglasses collection. If the Neo glasses are still available within time I promise, I'll order them.

Was a bit worried about authenticity but was pleasantly surprised by how excellent the delivery was. Great quality specs with included accessories, thanks AZYR, look forward to ordering again!

The Agents | 2003 Matrix Sunglasses

So unique and always get a compliment when I wear these. They’re also the most comfortable glasses I’ve ever owned. Never had them so custom for me before - and now I’ll never go back!

My experience was awesome through the whole process! Found the pair I loved, was able to try them on online (SUPER COOL FEATURE) and my order was confirmed immediately. They sent me tracking info, and confirmed when they were delivered to my mailbox! They arrived professionally wrapped, with a kind handwritten note (one of my fav things in life) and my cool new glasses that I will be sporting this weekend at 2 different festivals!! Viva AZYR_specs!! Thank you for offering the coolest of cool eyewear!

Trinity | 2003 Matrix Sunglasses

I was blessed to have had these glasses fall onto my face right when I needed them. They fit perfectly and my eyes are so happy behind them. I hope to buy another pair of AZYR glasses soon. Sincerely Catherine

These are so sick! they remind me of my fav Macbeth Tom Delonge frames from 15+ years ago - the pink is so light it doesnt too girly. I have shoulder length hair and the red/brown pop love the shape and def will be getting some more soon

They arrived safe! The package got routed weirdly through USPS (NYC>AZ>Ohio>Georgia>San Diego) so the box was banged up, but the glasses were totally fine! Everything was as pictured, fit me and look great! Thank you so much to Maureen and her team for getting me something I've dreamed of for years :)

Twins | 2000s Matrix Sunglasses

Very happy with my purchase, and also very happy with the customer service ! I highly recommend it. Thank you

Trinity | 1997 Matrix Sunglasses

The sunglasses seem completely unused, they are NOS! Lovely communication, quick delivery, well packed. Anytime again! Thank you!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

Awesome glasses, titanium frame is super light and sturdy, the design is very unique and cool without being too outlandish. They also came with a really cool triangular prism folding carrying case.

"Transmission" 1990s Blinde Sunglasses

Very happy with the glasses- sweet people packed my order with a handwritten note. Haven't worn them out much but they fit and they're comfortable, they actually look right, not tacky. Fits my smallerish face without looking too big. Thanks!

"Trinity" 1990s Matrix Sunglasses

The Matrix glasses are incredible and fit perfectly. The virtual try on feature is a game changer and helped me make the right choice based on my face shape without any guesswork. The personal touch throughout the whole experience was great, I highly highly recommend!
