Sunglasses have, since the beginning, always had their time in the limelight. Ordinary prescription glasses, on the other hand, haven’t done so well in the past when it comes to the cool factor. Because of this many eyeglass wearers jumped ship the minute they could start wearing contacts. Some people are still so traumatized from being called “Four Eyes” and “Urkel,” even to this day they refuse to wear glasses.
The days of eyeglass wearing shame are now behind us. Nike, as an emerging force in eyewear, has taken note of the new trends in prescription shades and glasses, and is putting a new spin on things. Enter Nike prescription eyeglass frames: a collection of eyewear designed to make wearers stand out. These eyeglasses and sunglasses come in a range of colors and styles; from semi-rimless to full frames in hyper pink, from Flexon metal memory bridges to tinted lenses, and more.
Nike is perhaps best known for its iconic running shoes, and also for sportswear. The company’s foray into the world of prescription eyeglass frames mirrors its style for its flagship products: these glasses are edgy and sporty, with a good dose of fashion sense. Their sports designs are great: comfortable enough to wear all day but designed so that they won’t fall off when you’re on the run.
Frame Material
Metal and plastic are the two commonest materials used for Nike prescription eyeglass frames. You can also get frames made from a combination of the two materials. Also available are titanium and ANSI Z87 safety approved frames. How do you know which material is right for you? Factor in your lifestyle: how active are you? What type of work do you do? What kind of fashion statement are you trying to make? Fortunately, Nike has a frame to answer all of these questions and more.
The frames you ultimately choose can make or break your appearance. So consider the shape of your face when you buy. For example, oval faces look best with rectangular frames, but square-faced people look better with round or oval frames. Real world tip: try on different frames at your local optician, make a note of which ones fit you best, and use those measurements when you shop online for frames.
Style and Color
Nike prescription eyeglass frames come in multiple colors: red, teal, tortoiseshell, pink, purple, and pewter to name just a few. Styles range from retro to modern to sporty. There are six specific frame shapes: wayfarer, aviator, rounded, square, rectangular, and oval. And starting at only $100, Nike prescription eyeglass frames are a cool bargain, too.
You can buy any of these cool frames, and have your optometrist fit your prescription lenses in. Alternatively, Nike lets you enter your prescription, and they will fit the lenses in for you. Single vision, bifocal, and progressive bifocals are available. You can get your eyeglasses in any one of several materials, including standard plastic, polycarbonate, and high index plastic.
Nike prescription eyeglass frames are bound to generate excitement, because there are so many options, and because the quality is so high. Take a look at what Nike has to offer, and update your prescription frames today.
