California residents, please read the Proposition 65 warning

Inspired by an era where the dollar was backed by gold, these Aviators channel old-school confidence with a modern edge. We gave the Nimitz a throwback look in all the right ways: polished gold frames and amber lenses. Now you’re ready for late nights and after-hours business—whether you’re buying an F14 or a used F-150.

The Nimitz is inspired by the namesake of the dominating NIMITZ class aircraft carriers and is a squared-off metal frame aviator, featuring a metal rim, with modern flat lenses and our signature bold branding on the arm. So whether you're ripping AIM-9X’s off the rails, running airspace from the tower, or just need a great pair of sunglasses to seek the heat in— you can trust that the Nimitz has the thrust to get you off the deck.

This style designates our first unisex addition to the GOLD line and works great on both male and female faces.

Reviews

Horrible packaging. Lol

"Ive been hooked on your glasses ever since you dropped the Goodwrench editions. Thought it was cool they came in their own special boxes. This drop i feel set a new standard. The tin can made this one feel special. The graphics and colors on the tins are great. My complaint is that I dont/didnt want to open the "coffee pouch". Haha"

Best glasses made

"One of the sexiest glasses I've ever bought and I think Heatwave has ever made. The color is awesome, the feel is fantastic and the quality is superb. I can’t stop listening to Laura Branigan and Bronski Beat as soon as these baddies get put onto my face. Makes me wanna hop into a 1980’s Monte Carlo racecar. These glasses must have been constructed by some aviator gods because they are literally perfect. I would only recommend a little lens cleaning wipe instead of just the cloth bag they come in."

Nice quality, but not for me.

"Too large for my face. Sit high on the face as well. Very flat across the face. Not really what I expected. They're very aviator like. I expected them to be a little more subtle. They look great on Travis Pastrana, but I guess he's got a giant head. Strange because I can usually pull off any type of glasses. These just aren't it. I returned mine."

Mom's Glasses

"I got these aviator glasses for my elderly mom and she Loves them. They fit your face great straight out of the box. I got the polarized ones to help her eyes in this Texas sun. The lens are dark enough for her. She absolutely loves them. She even took them to church today."

— Monica S. (5/5)

Nice quality at a reasonable

"Nice quality at a reasonable price!"

Solid pair of glasses

"I love the way they look. The fit great and the polarized lenses are comparable to much higher priced lenses. The only reason I’m giving a 4 star instead of 5 is the frame sits really high on my face- rather than hugging my face. It’s not a deal breaker… just a little different than any other glasses I’ve owned. But that could just be their style. Idk. I still really like the way the feel so I would buy another pair regardless."
