Following the announcement, Ray-Ban President Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio shared his excitement about welcoming Rocky to the iconic brand.  

“[Rocky is] a visionary artist and creator. His ability to push the boundaries of the diverse worlds he explores aligns with the Ray-Ban DNA’,” Del Vecchio said. We are reinforcing the brand’s values of innovation, pioneering spirit, and courage. Let the future begin.”.

A$AP Rocky also released a statement, noting that he has “always admired” the company.

“I’ve always admired Ray-Ban’s ability to stay true to its roots while constantly evolving,” the rap star said in a statement. “So I’m excited to be part of the strong heritage and develop the next chapter for an iconic brand like Ray-Ban.”
