The most exciting aspect about these special spectacles is that it was created by some of our very own Apex Cougars. Senior Chase Denison came up with the idea, as well as others like 919 Clothing. He partnered with Apex alumni Kyle May and his brother Chris Denison to pioneer the idea into reality. Current senior Austin Elias is the chief editor and senior Austin Dunn serves as the Lead Media Specialist for the team. Chase Denison had this remark to say about his feelings toward the launch of Vybe, “This venture is different from anything I’ve ever done… I have literally been developing a product for nearly two years that spawned as an idea and some sketches at my kitchen table. It’s very rewarding and I have learned more than I expected along the way.”
This unique product allows the wearer to completely customize the different pieces that make up sunglasses like the frame and lenses. There are different patterns and colors the consumer can mix and match to create the perfect sunglasses that show their individual tastes. Vybe Sunglasses will no doubt carve out its own unique niche in the sunglasses industry by using an approach never seen before. The glasses will be launched for $29 on a crowdfunding site named Indiegogo on March 15 of this year. Their heavily anticipated arrival is expected to make quite a splash.
