URBAN RESEARCH Lumine Shinjuku will reopen on Thursday, September 10 with a refined, refreshed space. To mark the occasion, the store is hosting a pop-up shop for BuddyOptical, an eyewear brand that offers pieces designed to spark intellectual curiosity through its own distinctive point of view. This is URBAN RESEARCH's second BuddyOptical pop-up this year, following one held in Kyoto in August, and the first time it is being held at a Kanto-region URBAN RESEARCH store.
The event brings together an impressive range of pieces, from the brand's signature collections to its popular standard models. Visitors can also see a special piece based on the "fis" model, known for its on-trend look, reworked as a special-order piece by URBAN RESEARCH KYOTO.
This piece combines the rugged, pure texture of hand-crafted titanium with a functional beauty suited to modern life. Photochromic lenses that adjust their tint based on UV exposure make it comfortable to wear indoors and outdoors throughout the day — a piece designed to feel like a constant companion, or "buddy," in everyday life.
