This is the Kazu Tourer, a collaboration between two American brands whose identity is rooted in running: @districtvision and @tracksmithrunning.
The design of the model refers to the 60s and 70s and combines two aesthetics of that time. The first one is a lightweight version of typical mountaineering glasses with shorts and a thick nose bridge. This is the time of the American climber Doug Robinson, who became the face of the collaboration.

They are distinguished by a massive nose bridge, integrated side temples, a titanium nose plate, and a goggle with ventilation holes. And, of course, the main feature of District Vision is the D+ technology lens, this time with a thin blue mirror coating.
