A$AP Rocky’s Ray-Ban Campaign Redefines Cool From The Ground Up

H

In a world where luxury campaigns often feel like they’re shot in an alternate reality, A$AP Rocky just literally brought it all back home. The Harlem-born artist, now serving as Ray-Ban’s Creative Director, has delivered a striking new campaign that doesn’t just showcase eyewear, it tells a story. Unveiled around June 20, 2025, the campaign introduces the Ray-Ban Wayfarer Puffer, a bold reimagining of the brand’s iconic silhouette. Think chunkier, inflated frames with attitude. But what makes this drop truly stand out is the heart behind the lens.

Rocky lent his face to the shoot and took the reins creatively, from concept to casting to directing. Shot entirely in Harlem, the visuals are a love letter to his roots. Alleyways, rooftops, and sidewalk scenes feel effortlessly stylish but totally unfiltered. It’s high fashion without the high gloss, where the people and places tell the story as much as the product. The cast is not your typical model lineup. Instead, it’s friends, locals, and Harlem creatives faces that feel real because they are. That decision grounds the campaign in authenticity, offering a welcome break from sterile studio sets and celebrity gloss.

The Wayfarer Puffer itself is hard to miss, its chunky design commands attention in every frame. But it never overshadows the vibe; it blends right in with the rhythm of Harlem’s streets. Rocky’s genius lies in that balance of letting the eyewear be bold without losing the soul of the scene. This isn’t just a product launch. It’s a statement. About culture, community, and what it means when a heritage brand lets someone who gets it take the wheel. Rocky’s vision doesn’t follow trends it sets them.

This campaign feels like Ray-Ban finally stepping into a new era, one that moves with culture instead of trying to catch up to it. It’s rare to see a global brand campaign that feels this personal, and even rarer to see one that nails both fashion and feeling. But with A$AP Rocky at the helm, Ray-Ban just might have found its realest reflection yet.

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.
