About this deal

Lots of interesting answers, including the bullet points from the research you have already done. I like almost all of them.

In this article in the Chicago Tribune Kevin Jones (curator of the museum at the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in Los Angeles) talks about design choices in the production design: When Morpheus meets Neo, he is wearing sunglasses, despite being inside a house during a rainy night. It's just meant to look cool. They'll shed the shades and trench coats when they need to be more practical. A few years ago, the fashion world posed a question that echoed through runways and city streets: Would the tiny sunglasses trend, seemingly straight out of the future, eventually fade into fashion's rearview mirror? To answer that query, the resounding consensus seems to be, "Not quite yet!"For the agents, it's another deal altogether. They wear it as a disguise. An additional layer of impersonality. It's standard MIB fantasy clothing. A dark suit and shades.

Morpheus's iconic sunglasses are a pair of Blinde "Morpheus" 4005-1 glasses, although the spring prongs that open the nose pads to pinch onto the bridge of the nose are not seen in the movie. Wardrobe Dept members likely had to glue the glasses onto the actor & stunt doubles. To the best of my knowledge, the Wachowskis never commented on the shades in particular, but I'll leave here a nugget about shades:Morpheus wears two different sunglasses: "Money Col. 1727" by Tom Davies, and "Morpheus" by Tom Davies. The latter is extremely similar to Morpheus's sunglasses in the Original Trilogy. Neo's sunglasses in The Matrix Resurrections are an original pair called "Neo" designed by Tom Davies. They are a single-lens sunglasses with a spaced section between the frame and the lens on the outer sides. Actual Neo's original sunglasses placed side-by-side with Trinity's Resurrections sunglasses, showing their similarity Tom designed and produced over 200 bespoke frames for the movie, including characters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus. You can now shop the limited edition sunglasses as seen in the film.

Trinity's sunglasses in The Matrix Resurrections are an original pair called "Trinity" designed by Tom Davies. They have a double-bridge reminiscent of Trinity's original sunglasses from The Matrix, and the lens is nearly identical to Neo's sunglasses from The Matrix, except the frame is square and not wraparound, and the lens is framed.Trinity in particular also uses her sunglasses as eye protection when riding a motorcycle twice, both in the first and second movie.
