Carroll Shelby was an American racer, designer, and entrepreneur who left an indelible mark on the automotive world. His legendary career spanned more than five decades and included numerous victories on the racetrack, including a class win at the 1959 24 Hours of Le Mans. Shelby was known for his passion for speed, precision, and innovation, qualities that are reflected in the latest addition to the Serengeti Sunglasses collection.

The Serengeti Carroll Sunglasses are inspired by the legend and feature a light gold frame and mineral polarized lenses, designed to provide maximum protection and clarity in all lighting conditions. The lenses are made with advanced photochromic technology that adjusts to changing light conditions, ensuring that your eyes are always comfortable and protected. 

But these sunglasses are not just functional – they also pay homage to Carroll Shelby’s iconic style. The light gold frame is sleek and stylish, with a timeless design that will never go out of fashion and mimics the classic aviator frames he was often spotted wearing when he wasn’t wearing wayfarers. The frame is made with high-quality materials that are built to last, so you can be sure that your sunglasses will withstand the rigors of daily wear and tear.

In addition to their high-quality construction and advanced technology, these sunglasses are also incredibly comfortable to wear, we tested them for several weeks and the lightweight frame sits comfortably on your face, and the polarized lenses reduce glare and eye strain, making them perfect for long drives or outdoor activities. Whether you’re a racing enthusiast like Carroll Shelby or simply someone who appreciates high-quality eyewear, these sunglasses are a must-have accessory.
