For spring 2025, JINS Glasses has teamed up with the Japanese anime Dragon Ball for a new eyewear collection that blends iconic anime references with modern, wearable design. JINS has a reputation in Japan for making affordable, high-quality prescription eyewear with shockingly short turnaround times (their glasses are often ready in as little as 30 minutes after purchase), so whether you’re seeking unique collectibles or a wearable souvenir from Japan that you can use every day, you might find just the thing in this Dragon Ball collaboration.

The JINS × Dragon Ball collaboration began with the “Dragon Ball DAIMA” Model collection, launched on March 6, 2025, which includes designs for adults and children based on the newest installment in the series. And as of April 17th, a “Dragon Ball” Model line has arrived in stores, with a selection of premium frames inspired by the very first “Dragon Ball” series. So, whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to Dragon Ball, these anime souvenir recommendations are for you!

The DAIMA Collection: Anime-Inspired Glasses for All Generations

The Dragon Ball DAIMA Model collection is made for fans of all ages, and according to JINS, the frames were designed to bring together those who grew up with Dragon Ball and the generation of young fans discovering the series through DAIMA. There are six designs for adults (10,900 yen) and another six for children (8,900 yen), all of them Wellington-shape frames (which many believe is universally flattering) enhanced with a prominent browline – a hint at Dragon Ball’s expressive character design.

The colors and detailing of the frames reflect some of the anime’s most popular characters, from their personality to their outfits, like black and orange for Son Goku (Mini), navy and yellow for Vegeta (Mini), or green and purple for Piccolo (Mini) (plus Bulma [Mini], Supreme Kai [Mini], and even King Gomah). Each color palette is offered in both adult and kids’ designs, making these glasses a fun way to enjoy the excitement of Dragon Ball together with matching frames – everyone can choose their favorite character! Plus, each purchase includes a DAIMA-themed glasses case and lens cleaning cloth.

The Dragon Ball Collection: Premium Eyewear for Adult Fans

The JINS Dragon Ball Model collection is aimed squarely at adult fans who grew up alongside Goku and his friends, offering six distinct frame shapes and eight varieties in total. For fans who treasure their memories of this Japanese anime masterpiece, these premium frames are carefully crafted to strike a balance between chic vintage eyewear design and subtle anime references. And since each pair is made from high-quality acetate and titanium, the glasses provide lightweight comfort as well as durability, all reasonably priced at 24,900 yen.

Showing off your love of anime without going overboard can be a fine line to walk, but this collection feels nostalgic without sacrificing wearable style. The lineup is divided into four Son Goku Models and four Bulma Models, with elements from memorable scenes and iconic Dragon Ball imagery woven directly into the designs. Some models feature tiny engraved illustrations, like Bulma zipping away on her motorcycle, while others have temples shaped to resemble Goku’s Kintoun or the Dragon Radar. The Dragon Ball featured on the hinge of certain models is truly subtle, and yet instantly recognizable! These understated design flourishes are a fun everyday reminder of your favorite anime without being cringe – we suspect these designs will sell out fast!

Each pair of glasses in the Dragon Ball Model line comes with a capsule-shaped case (designed to resemble a certain item from the anime) and a unique large-sized lens cleaning cloth with a striking Dragon Ball illustration, all in special orange packaging. They also offer another limited-edition lens cleaning cloth design for 900 yen, which can be purchased separately as an add-on – we recommend them as souvenirs for fellow glasses-wearing Dragon Ball fans!
