Something was different about President Barack Obama the moment he stepped outside the White House in 2016. He seemed cooler, more relaxed, and looked slicker than ever. Why? Barack was sporting one baller new pair of shades. Other than appointing new Supreme Court justice Merrick Garland, upgrading his sunglasses is one of the best executive decisions POTUS has made this year.

While Obama attended the Tampa Bay Rays baseball game in Havana, Cuba, even amidst all the controversy surrounding the event, all anyone could think was: “Where did Obama get those sunglasses?!”
With no visible logo, it wasn’t easy to figure out where these new shades came from, but after some research, it was discovered that these are the $485 OPll Sun Model from Oliver Peoples.
Before you balk at the price tag for these polarized G-15 lenses, remember the sunglasses Barack was sporting last year?
What a difference stellar sunnies can make! No one is going to miss those Grandpa-style Ray-Bans, and the President of the United States has definitely earned the right to treat himself to a stylish pair of sunglasses. Plus, they fit his face so well. Barack looks like an absolute baller in these shades.
