Choose eyewear just like choosing a Pokémon as a partner
Pokémon is one of the world’s most beloved entertainment franchises and has gained popularity all over the globe from children to adults who enjoy encountering and adventuring with unique Pokémon in the video games and animated TV series and movies.
Just as Trainers choose a Pokémon to partner with, the JINS Pokémon Model was created with the hope that fans will experience the same joy of selecting glasses to wear each day. Fans will be able to choose from a diverse lineup of eyewear to “partner up” with their favorite Pokémon-themed frame.
Frames inspired by the world of Pokémon
The JINS Pokémon Model has a total of four series with a wide range of designs for children and adults. The three series for adults include the Flagship Model, which is inspired by the unique characteristics of Pikachu, Eevee, Snorlax, and Mew; the Kanto Region Model, which features Pokémon originally discovered in the Kanto region; and the Johto Region Model, which features Pokémon originally discovered in the Johto region.
In the series for children, JINS has developed the Kids Model, which features a wide lineup ranging from cute to cool styles inspired by the Pokémon animated TV series.
In addition, original eyeglass cases and cleaning cloths are available for each series, and all accessories feature small details that match the frames. The JINS Pokémon Model will be rolled out globally, including Japan and China.
