JINS Ghost in the Shell eyewear launch

Entities: JINS · Ghost in the Shell

Overview

In mid‑July 2026, Japanese eyewear maker JINS announced a collaboration with the cyber‑punk franchise *Ghost in the Shell* to release a limited‑edition collection of electronic photochromic sunglasses and optical glasses. The initial announcement detailed three models, four styles, and a world‑wide run of 1,000 units, with pricing between ¥19,900 and ¥29,900 and features such as liquid‑crystal lenses and proprietary hinge technology.

A later update at the end of July confirmed the release was restricted to Japan, reiterated the 1,000‑unit limit and the same price range, and highlighted the collection’s appeal to both fans of the series and consumers seeking high‑tech eyewear. The follow‑up emphasized the collector’s nature of the launch and the integration of design elements from the series’ futuristic gadgets.
