Athletics, summertime and Nike sunglasses go together like red, white and blue. There's nothing more American in contemporary times than the ubiquitous name of Nike. A company existing in its current form since 1978 this highly acclaimed fortune 500 employer is headquartered in Oregon. Nike sunglasses styles like Pursue, Precocious, Skylon and Curfew bring fashion to the masses. Less expensive and far more practical than haute couture these are sunglasses made for the active lifestyle. Still made in Italy like the more upscale shades Nike sunglasses are made for those who crave action. The Nike Odeon Swift is a sports shield style that features polycarbonate polarized (or un-polarized option) lenses and comfort nylon frames. Frames available in colors matte black, mahogany red or iron. Lens tint can be exchanged. Priced a bit higher than other styles at $109-$149 these are still well worth the money.Nike sunglasses flywheel 3PC utilizes the latest in flex metal in order to accommodate serious movement during athletic pursuits. The same safety of polycarbonate lenses is found here as in prescription eyewear but there's no need for an eye exam. El Dorado, gun metal and steel frame tones are offered. For $143.99 these are very attractive. Nike sunglasses Skylon exhibit the same light-weight impact resistance found in the metal frame styles but are made in differing colors and polarized options. The most noticeable design variation in this and other Nike sunglasses styles is the addition of a ventilated nose bridge. This is a very noticeably ridged wide plastic channel that prevents perspiration from collecting under frames. By allowing air to circulate behind the lenses, this feature sets Nike in a class by itself.
