Tekken 8 is thirst trapping its big baddie to sell some designer sunnies and suddenly $500 seems like a fair deal

Bandai Namco seems to be slapping Tekken 8 on just about anything right now. There's the jean jacket, the skateboard deck, the horrifically ugly $250 Nike Airs, the Uniqlo t-shirts, the PUBG collaboration, the DJ Max collaboration (which is actually pretty good) and now… designer sunglasses.

The fighting game is collaborating with luxury eyewear brand Gentle Monster to bring some flamin' hot protection for your retinas.

I have to admit, I do really dig them in a sicko sort of way: the red mirror lenses are framed by chrome flames with the arm's inspired by Kazuya Mishima's horns when he's in his devil form.

They even come packaged in a fist wearing Kazuya's signature red studded glove along with a Tekken 8-branded sack, all for the low price of $500 / £410.

My favourite thing about all this, however, is the marketing that's come along with it. There are some real-life models sporting the sunnies in a couple of advertisements, of course.
