Product details

Description

Even if you’re not a die hard Dead Head, you’ve almost certainly seen this friendly fivesome before. First appearing on the back cover of the 1973 album History of the Grateful Dead, Volume One (Bear's Choice), the Dancing Bears* have stuck around as a staple of music iconography for 50 years. And just like the music of the Dead will never stop, we’re pretty sure the Dancing Bears aren’t going anywhere anytime soon.

Beautifully built on the sleek and stylish Seventy Nines, this pair lets you bring some tie-dye Dancing Bears cheer along no matter where you’re headed!

*If you talk to a purist, they’ll tell you the bears are marching, not dancing. But like thousands of other Dead Heads already have, we’re happy to encourage alternative interpretations.

  • Clear base with an explosion of tie-dye coloring across the entire frame
  • Tie-dye arms decorated with iconic dancing bears on exterior (well, marching bears if you ask Owsley)
  • Interior of left arm features the Grateful Dead logo
  • Polarized rainbow lenses
  • Silver hardware
  • Dancing Bear lens etch
  • Dancing Bears tie-dye microfiber pouch
  • Commemorative Grateful Dead packaging
  • FDA approved impact resistant lenses with UV400 protection

Stay Glare Aware

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Dance your way into Summer

Love these! My second pair of Knockarounds! The lenses are phenomenal. I swear I can see 50x clearer when I have these on! Don't sit and toss around whether or not to purchase from Knockaround . You won't be disappointed!

On a side note, these glasses are small, in my opinion. Not that I don't love them, they are just....smaller.

Very vibrant!

I bought these for my 29 year old nephew. They were too small for him. Fit my 9 year old great nephew perfectly.

Rocking some Dead shades!

I do like this style as I tried smoother pair from the Deal collection and the pair was crooked. These are sturdy and comfortable…and make me look hot as a pistol, but cool inside!
