“Eyewear is an essential part of the SALT LIFE lifestyle. It protects, performs, and completes the vibe.”

New York, NY (Sept. 10, 2025) – The SALT LIFE brand is proud to announce a new licensing partnership with Eyeking LLC, a fourth-generation, award-winning eyewear design and distribution company. This collaboration brings the SALT LIFE brand back into the eyewear category with performance-forward, lifestyle-driven sunglasses designed for life in and around the water.
With deep roots in both quality craftsmanship and ocean-inspired living, the partnership blends SALT LIFE’s coastal DNA with Eyeking’s expertise in delivering innovative and category-defining eyewear.
“We take eyewear seriously, but we also know how to Live Salty. This partnership is the result of a shared commitment to quality, authenticity, and lifestyle-driven design,” said Darren Goldman, Vice President of Eyeking LLC. “Salt Life has a strong presence in the outdoor market, and we’re excited to help elevate their eyewear offering with product that reflects both performance and purpose. It’s a win for the brand, for retailers, and most importantly for consumers.”
Designed to meet the demands of outdoor enthusiasts, the new SALT LIFE eyewear collection blends polarized lenses, high-performance materials, and lightweight construction with style cues inspired by life on the water. From offshore fishing trips to laid-back days at the beach, each pair reflects the brand’s mantra: Fish | Dive | Surf. LIVE SALTY.
“Eyewear is an essential part of the SALT LIFE lifestyle. It protects, performs, and completes the vibe,” said Ryan Sainsott, SVP of Iconix International.
