BRETT Eyewear Wheels and Waves 2026 celebrating five years collaboration

Custom motorcycles, coastal roads, and precision-engineered objects have always been part of the visual language of BRETT Eyewear.

Those influences return once again in BRETT Eyewear Wheels and Waves 2026, the latest collaboration with the renowned Wheels and Waves festival.

Now entering its fifth consecutive year, the partnership continues to evolve through a shared appreciation for craftsmanship, adventure, and mechanical culture. The result is WW2026, a limited-edition frame designed for those who feel most at home on the road, by the ocean, or wherever the next journey may lead.

The collaboration brings together two worlds that have long spoken the same visual language. BRETT Eyewear draws inspiration from the automotive icons and larger-than-life characters of the 1970s, while Wheels and Waves has built an international community around motorcycles, surfing, music, art, and freedom of movement. Over the past five years, the partnership has become a natural extension of both identities.

A Design Inspired by Fine Mechanics

At the heart of the collection is a new stainless-steel frame that takes inspiration from BRETT Eyewear’s Neo Combined series. The design translates the technical DNA of the brand into a bold silhouette shaped by industrial aesthetics and mechanical precision.

Every line has been carefully considered, balancing functionality with visual impact. The stainless-steel construction highlights the technical expertise behind the frame while maintaining the clean, confident character that has become a hallmark of BRETT Eyewear.

One of the most distinctive details can be found on the side shields, where a welded metal component references the Wheels and Waves emblem. The element feels less like decoration and more like an integrated mechanical part, inspired by custom motorcycles and workshop craftsmanship.

Finished in matte black and gunmetal tones, the frame embraces a minimalist yet purposeful appearance that reflects the raw authenticity shared by both brands.

Built for Riders and Adventurers

The BRETT Eyewear WW2026 frame was created for people who rarely stand still. Riders, travelers, and outdoor enthusiasts inspired many of the practical features incorporated into the design.

To support that lifestyle, each frame comes with a dedicated carrying case fitted with a cord that allows it to be worn around the neck. The solution is simple and intuitive, ensuring the eyewear remains close at hand during everyday adventures.

Performance was equally important during development. Category 2 polarized CR39 lenses provide enhanced contrast, visual depth, and comfortable vision across a wide range of light conditions, whether navigating winding roads or spending time along the coast.

Embodying the Spirit of Freedom

The campaign is fronted by French trial champion Chris Bruand, whose career reflects many of the values that define the collaboration. Precision, balance, technical mastery, and the pursuit of freedom through movement all play a central role in both his sporting achievements and the philosophy behind WW2026.

Produced in a strictly limited run of only 350 pieces worldwide, the WW2026 limited edition eyewear release represents one of the most exclusive collaborations BRETT Eyewear has produced with Wheels and Waves to date.

The frame will be available through selected BRETT Eyewear partner opticians and during the Wheels and Waves festival in Biarritz, France, from June 10 to June 14, 2026.

Five years after the collaboration first began, BRETT Eyewear Wheels and Waves 2026 demonstrates that the strongest partnerships are often built around a shared passion for craftsmanship, design, and the freedom to keep moving forward.
