The thing about classics is they slip across decades — the Smith Lowdown 2 could be from this season, next season or 1962. The CORE version builds that timeless shape from post-consumer recycled PET water bottles under Smith’s REsponsibility to the COmmunity programme, with Evolve polarized bio-based lenses that cut glare on the drive, the deck and the days between rides. Logos are embossed rather than glued, so nothing is added that doesn’t need to be.
Fit is medium with medium coverage on a 4-base frame, and 5-barrel metal hinges keep it feeling solid for the long haul. Every pair ships with a microfibre storage bag made from recycled PET water bottles, in fully recycled packaging.
