Who is Six & How 66 Eyewear was born
My name is Six. I'm 25 years old, and I built 66eyez from the ground up — not from an office, not from business school, but from a barber's chair.There was a gentleman in my neighborhood where I used to get my hair cut every month, who sold glasses and a bit of everything... on the street. Every time I went for a haircut, he was either already there or would arrive while I was waiting or getting my cut. And every time I went home with a new pair. I don't know how he did it, but it worked.One day, watching him work, I thought: "If I were his son, I'd take what he sells, open a website, and sell everything from home. He wouldn't have to travel around the city anymore."I thought about it. I thought about it again. I talked about it with a friend one Sunday. He looked at me and said: "Bro, that's solid. To me, these businesses are underestimated but they're fire."And so, the next day, 66eyez
Why 66eyez?
6 has always been my number. I used to call myself 6ixice, and on the street, SIX — "6" was my number, "ICE" was jewelry, necklaces, bracelets. That stuff you love and see in rap videos where they flex.When I decided to create the brand, I doubled the 6 to avoid having the same name on two profiles.And "Eyez"? It comes from Tupac — "All Eyez On Me". Because this brand doesn't just sell glasses. It wants all eyes on you.
