Wiz Khalifa's "Elevator" Sunglasses Nearly Sold Out, A Second Edition Likely

Wiz Khalifa's

Pittsburgh's Eyetique reports that the 500 custom pairs of Taylor Gang aviators are nearly gone, as web traffic and international sales have soared.

Late last year, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania emcee Wiz Khalifa announced a partnership with local glasses chain Eyetique to release 500 pairs of "Elevators" sunglasses. The accessories, resembling the custom-designed shades covered Wiz's eyes in the "Black and Yellow" video, are now nearly sold out.

According to Pittsburgh D Business News, Eyetique is reporting that the seven designer stores watched daily website traffic increase from 3,000 to 40,000 daily page-views. A reported 30% of sales are international. Moreover, the '80s-inspired Elevator glasses will likely see a second-run. The $225 glasses are available in black and tortoise.

A prototype pair, claimed to be worth $10,000, will remain in Eyetique's collection.

Wiz Khlifa will release his major label debut, Rolling Papers, on March 29th.
