Takarajimasya will release the September 2025 extra issue of “MonoMax” on August 7. The price is 1,390 yen.

The extra issue includes the first collaboration with GRIP SWANY, a long-established camping wear brand in the U.S., in the form of a pair of light-controlling sunglasses. The lenses change color when they detect ultraviolet rays, so they can be used as sunglasses with a 99.9% UV protection rate when outside and as stylish transparent glasses when indoors.

The lens is a trendy large size, approximately 5.6 x 14.8 cm (frame top height x width). The large area of the face that can be covered provides sun protection. In addition, the bridge folds in two and fits easily into a pocket. In addition, a special case that can be used as an eyeglass wipe is included.

The September 2025 issue of “MonoMax,” released at the same time, includes a water-repellent tote bag by Teva. The price is 1,390 yen.
