Blackfin will be providing personalised edition of BF735 Black Gravity and BF729 Shanks. The two models both combine a stylish look with sporting performance and are made in Italy using titanium and beta-titanium material.
The modernist masculinity of Black Gravity features angular arches and a sleek, lightweight feel created by the way the titanium is worked using a special three-dimensional technique. Shanks delivers equally high performance in a sleek yet strong silhouette. Its fashion credentials are enhanced further through the use of mirrored lenses.
