they have sunglasses when they are "in power" (destroying stuff) and take them off when they lose power (running from agents) A few years ago, the fashion world posed a question that echoed through runways and city streets: Would the tiny sunglasses trend, seemingly straight out of the future, eventually fade into fashion's rearview mirror? To answer that query, the resounding consensus seems to be, "Not quite yet!" Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers! Keep in mind that anyone can view public collections - they may also appear in recommendations and other places. As the captain of the resistance hovercraft Nebuchadnezzar , Morpheus is known for his cool stance and distinct look. Morpheus' round, pince-nez sunglasses have become as iconic as the character itself, inspiring countless Halloween costumes since the movie's first release. More than a cool prop, sunglasses bear a deeper symbolism in The Matrix trilogy . It is believed that they're only worn by characters that are "awake," or those who know the truth about the simulation. It is a fitting keepsake for Fishburne, as the accessory was custom built to fit the actor's face. Tom designed and produced over 200 bespoke frames for the movie, including characters Neo, Trinity and Morpheus. You can now shop the limited edition sunglasses as seen in the film.

As we journey deeper into the realm of fashion, it becomes increasingly evident that the allure of these sleek and enigmatic accessories remains unwavering. Luxury fashion houses have embraced the trend, seamlessly incorporating it into their collections. Meanwhile, the fast fashion industry follows suit, ensuring the captivating style stays firmly within our sightlines. It's a trend that shows no signs of slowing down. One thing I really like in McAtrix (a pizza hut, a pizza hut) was the cinematic use of the reflections on some of the glasses, extreme closeups using the reflection as the screen. It had been done before, but it was quite nice. The sleek, wraparound “Mr. Anderson” and “Hero” styles are sported by Keanu Reeves’ Neo (Thomas Anderson) and Carrie-Anne Moss’ Trinity, while the cat-eyed Lexy is for Erendira Ibarra’s newcomer character of the same name. Mr. AndersonThe characters in the Matrix series are synonymous with their glasses so this was the most creatively challenging Hollywood commission I have ever had. It was a huge honour to be chosen to create all of the eyewear for The Matrix Resurrections, and terrific to work with the legendary costume designer Lindsay Pugh and the brilliant production team.’ -Tom Davies

Morpheus's iconic sunglasses are a pair of Blinde "Morpheus" 4005-1 glasses, although the spring prongs that open the nose pads to pinch onto the bridge of the nose are not seen in the movie. Wardrobe Dept members likely had to glue the glasses onto the actor & stunt doubles. For an in universe answer for a spy sunglasses would hide their eyes so others cannot see their expression as easily or where they are looking. Poker players wear them for this reason.

Actually the original reason this trope started (real world answer here) is because anyone learning to fire a gun, or who does not do so fairly often, has a tendancy to blink or close their eyes when the shoot. Which in real life a momentary blink is not too bad, but it looks a bit silly on screen. Particularly in slow motion. However I didn't see one that clearly gives the in-movie explanation. All of these answers are very good reasons to why the choice was made to have them wearing glasses, but in movie, its much simpler than that.

Neo's sunglasses in The Matrix Resurrections are an original pair called "Neo" designed by Tom Davies. They are a single-lens sunglasses with a spaced section between the frame and the lens on the outer sides. In Morpheus's explanation of what the matrix is to Neo, he points out Neo's appearance as a representation of himself. The way he sees himself is reflected in that. Do they think the glasses make them cooler, so they have them because they think they are cool? Maybe. It doesn't matter. Thats how they view who they are. So out-of-universe it was definitely a specific choice for the production team to get a unique, individual design specific to each character.For the agents, it's another deal altogether. They wear it as a disguise. An additional layer of impersonality. It's standard MIB fantasy clothing. A dark suit and shades. Trinity's sunglasses in The Matrix Resurrections are an original pair called "Trinity" designed by Tom Davies. They have a double-bridge reminiscent of Trinity's original sunglasses from The Matrix, and the lens is nearly identical to Neo's sunglasses from The Matrix, except the frame is square and not wraparound, and the lens is framed.

British eyewear maker Tom Davies was the filmmakers’ choice to produce new versions of cinema’s most iconic frames for the epic new film The Matrix Resurrections. Morpheus Sunglasses inspired by the Matrix movies and should be worn with stylish outfits that underline your creative personality.Morpheus wears two different sunglasses: "Money Col. 1727" by Tom Davies, and "Morpheus" by Tom Davies. The latter is extremely similar to Morpheus's sunglasses in the Original Trilogy. One final interesting point - at the start of the film all of the agents' sunglasses are the same shape, but as Smith goes increasingly rogue, his sunglasses begin to take on a new shape (as noted in TV Tropes): Tom went from being a huge fan of the films to a huge fan who created all the eyewear for The Matrix Resurrections. During the pandemic, Tom was asked to bespoke all the characters via Zoom. Says Tom: “I usually bespoke the talent in person, this was quite challenging as I had to do everything online. I had to create over 10 different versions of nose clip sunglasses for Yahya, who played Morpheus in the film, to make sure it would stay on during all the action scenes and fit him well!
