Powerplant
COLLABORATION
We teamed up with famed Los Angeles motorcycle shop Powerplant on a new frame called P16.
These sunglasses draw heavy inspiration from Southern California motorcycle culture, featuring a classic silhouette with bolted rivets at each end, engraved paisley designs on the temple tips and faceted corners. The build is finished off with Powerplant’s metal-plated P16 insignia on each temple.
The Beatles
COLLECTION
The officially licensed AKILA x Beatles collection features two new styles inspired by the band’s classic self-titled album & give nods to The Beatles’ mod era, characterized by clean looks and timeless silhouettes. Each set of sunglasses arrives in custom-designed packaging and carrying case with visual cues that White Album fans will readily recognize.
Call Me 917
COLLABORATION
As a self-professed “sunglass connoisseur,” Call Me 917 founder and professional skateboarder Alex Olsen connected with AKILA to create something that embodied both brands’ affinity for fresh looks and classic-inspired design.
The result is Noslos, a chunky rectangular frame influenced concurrently by streetwear and high-end style. Its slightly oversized silhouette is finished with triple-riveted frame ends and temples to add subtle flare and extra durability for your next skate run.

Keith Haring
COLLABORATION
Keith Haring was one of the most renowned of the young artists, filmmakers, and performers whose work responded to urban street culture of the 1980s.
He was known for his iconic line work which continues to inspire street muralists and pop artists alike, and was featured in more than 100 exhibitions during his life. Keith believed art should be readily accessible to the public, coining the phrase "Art is for everybody."

Bricks & Wood
COLLABORATION
Lomita is the second collaboration between AKILA and Bricks & Wood, inspired by both brands’ home city of Los Angeles. These wraparound frames pay homage to a classic look popularized by South Central LA, and are accompanied with a paisley-patterned embossed carrying case.
