Iconics Range
The Iconics range of the J.F. Rey x Hideo Kojima collection consists of three models, HKxJF04, HKxJF05 and HKxJF10. The design of the optical frames HKxJF04 and HKxJF05 combines sophisticated acetate colors with exceptional titanium and stainless steel components. Elegant and technological, Hideo Kojima’s signature combination of acetate and laser-cut metal creates subtle lighting effects on the front. Designed for fans of the Japanese creator, this special detail is complemented by a Kojima Productions-designed metal insert at the ends. Each temple comes with a quilted titanium Flex designed to naturally adapt to the wearer’s face. The style of the models is based on a simple and contemporary color palette, enhanced by matte, glossy or satin finishes that highlight their sophisticated character. All frames are equipped with 3-IN-1 protective lenses, except HKxJF04 9800 and HKxJF05 0808, which are designed with lenses suitable for gaming. The HKxJF10 stands out for its innovative construction in stainless steel and acetate enriched with the symbolic codes of Hideo Kojima’s universe. In continuation of previous collaborations, the design of the temples is inspired by the Ludens Mask, a collectible from the latest collection. The model debuts with three nylor frames adapted for optical use, sunglasses and gaming. These customized options appeal to all style, technology and video games enthusiasts.
Carbon Inside Range
The Carbon Inside range of the collaboration collection consists of two optical models, HKxJF06 and HKxJF07. These two models are characterized by their unique features. Innovative designs that combine the best aesthetics with high quality materials dazzle in J.F. Rey construction in acetate and carbon fiber. Thanks to the exclusive multi-material technology of J.F. Rey’s Carbon Core collection, the frames offer the best in style, lightness and resistance. These frames combine the elegant and sophisticated aesthetics of carbon with functional excellence. Their grips are equipped with a chromed Flex for added strength and optimal comfort. Hideo Kojima’s artistic universe enhances the design with the Kojima Productions signature on the temples and sophisticated prints such as matte black, blue/black camouflage pattern, marble or granite-effect acetate, perfectly matching the finely textured images of carbon.
Polarized Range
The Polarized line reinterprets the now iconic sun clip frames from the J.F. Rey x Hideo Kojima collections. It consists of two optical models, HKxJF08 and HKxJF09, in acetate distinguished by a Flip-Up aluminum sun clip, available in black or gray depending on the model.

Fully removable and articulated, the clip is equipped with polarized lenses for the most intense glare conditions. The original style of the frames blends retro elements with contemporary design, using stylistic references from Hideo Kojima’s characteristic graphic universe. Hideo Kojima uses eye-catching hues such as stylized forest patterns, camouflage effect and crystal blue. The temples of the frames are signed with Kojima Productions’ unique design, giving each frame a distinctive and singular touch.
