Nike Sunglasses

Designed primarily for use when playing sports, Nike sunglasses are stylish and contemporary enough to be worn for purely aesthetic reasons, too. Don't be fooled into thinking that these sunglasses are all style and no substance, however; the technology behind the lenses is world-beating, and is the result of a huge amount of research and development.

Unlike many sunglasses, the lenses in Nike glasses are specially designed to cut out what the company describes as "visual noise" – more commonly known as "blurring" - and improve contrast.

With tints and lenses specially designed for different sports and conditions, Nike sunglasses are the shades of choice of serious sportsmen and women all over the world. Their reasonable price means that they can be worn by those of us who never get closer to sports than watching it on TV, too.

The Nike Sunglasses Website

Nike Vision is the online home of Nike Sunglasses, and the glasses are arranged there by sport. Just decide which sport you'll be playing from a choice of baseball, golf, cycling, soccer, tennis and running, and then browse the range of sunglasses available in each category.

• Soccer Glasses

As worn by soccer star Thierry Henri, Nike's soccer sunglasses are designed for speed, with a shape which helps them stay firmly attached to your head no matter what happens on the field.

• Running Sunglasses

Like most sportspeople, running stars, like world cross country champion, Paula Radcliffe, tend to get sweaty. They need sunglasses which minimize the glare of the road, but won't slip down the nose when the going gets tough.

• Golf Sunglasses

The ability to see clearly is absolutely essential for a golfer, and Nike's Max Golf Tint has been specially developed to increase contrast and help improve your game. Visit the website to see a view of a golf course as seen with and without Max Golf Tint glasses.

• Tennis Sunglasses

Tennis ace Maria Sharapova wears Nike's 'Sera" sunglasses, which are both stylish and practical.

• Baseball Sunglasses

Albert Pujols, Torii Hunter, Jimmy Rollins, Jermaine Dye and many, many more of the country's biggest baseball starts choose Nike for their sports sunglasses.

Nike Prescription Glasses

For those of use whose daily exercise involves sitting in front of a computer screen all day, Nike also offer a range of prescription eyewear which are, they claim, built for the rigors of everyday life. With the same sleek styling as their sports sunglasses, and a number of different lens tints ranging from clear to black, the prescription range allows you to have your prescription on a pair of Nike sunglasses.

Nike Contact Lenses

Contact lens wearers aren't forgotten at Nike Vision. Nike Maxsight is an innovative, fully tinted soft contact lens which, like the sunglasses, is specifically designed to be worn during sports. With a grey/green tint for sports such as golf, running and training, and an amber tint for soccer, tennis, baseball, and rugby, Maxsight allows the serious sportsman or woman to concentrate on his or her form, forgetting all about the sunglasses.

A free trial of the Maxsight contact lenses is available from the Nike website
