Nike Vision Has Partnered With Transitions Optical, Inc. To Introduce New Nike MAX Transitions

May 4th, 2012

Nike Vision has partnered with Transitions Optical, Inc. to introduce new Nike® MAX Transitions® adaptive sunglasses! Available in two styles and two lens colors, the new Nike® MAX Transitions® adaptive sunglasses respond to changing light while maintaining true to Nike’s advanced, sports performance engineering.

Color Science
Color adds to the advance functionality of the lens and depending on lighting situations, colors can enhance vision. Nike® MAX Transitions® adaptive sunglasses offers two specific tints, engineered precisely to enhance the visual details of the natural environment encountered during specific sports and activities.

Nike MAX Transitions/Golf Tint. The violet color is designed to improve the contour recognition on the greens and increase ball pop.

Nike MAX Transitions/Outdoor Tint. The green color brightens the shadows, increases contrast and enhances the visual spectrum in natural environments – like hiking and trails.

Innovation In Fit
Nike MAX Transitions sunglasses are available in two of Nike’s most popular sunglass styles, the Show X2 and SQ.

Show X2. Nike’s advanced technology allows Show X2 to deliver grip, stability and comfort. Feature adjustable temples and an adjustable ventilated nose, the sunglass offers the highest level of stability and reduces fogging.

SQ. Inspired by the innovative design of the Nike SQ golf clubs, SQ provides wide coverage with minimal visual interference.

In addition to Show X2 and SQ, which are engineered to meet the highest expectations of sport performance, the Nike MAX Transitions lens is also offered as an accessory lens in styles Skylon Ace, Skylon Ace Pro and Show X2 Pro. All of which are polycarbonate material and, like all Nike and Transitions lenses, block 100 percent of UV rays.

Essilor’s Airwear “Breit Eyes” Facebook Photo Contest Grand Prize Winner

March 12th, 2012

Jack Zeblisky with his original, autographed sketch by Mary Engelbreit

Airwear®, Essilor’s lighter, safer and greener brand of polycarbonate lenses, and iconic artist and healthy vision advocate Mary Engelbreit presented Michele Zeblisky of Northwood, N.H., grand prize winner of the “Breit Eyes” Facebook photo contest, with an original, autographed sketch in the likeness of her 11-year-old son, Jack, as well as a tour of Engelbreit’s St. Louis studio and a $200 general use gift card.

Fans of Airwear Lenses on Facebook may recall Essilor and Engelbreit asked parents to visit the page to enter the “Breit Eyes” contest last September. By submitting a photo of their child being “lighter, safer or greener” – the key benefits of Airwear lenses – while wearing glasses, parents had a chance to win one-of-a-kind prizes from Engelbreit. One lucky grand prize winner, Zeblisky, received an original sketch by Engelbreit in the likeness of the child in the winning photo plus a trip to tour Engelbreit’s St. Louis studio and a $200 gift card. One runner up, Anna Caudill of Franklin, Tenn., received a collection of Ann Estelle children’s books authored and signed by Engelbreit.

Like her most beloved and bespectacled character, Ann Estelle, Engelbreit herself got glasses as a young girl and attributes her beginning in art to being able to see details of the world around her clearly for the first time. Engelbreit, who is now presbyopic, is an advocate for healthy vision and yearly eye exams.

“It was a pleasure to meet the Zeblisky family and present them with their very own original sketch of a bespectacled young Jack,” said Engelbreit. “The “Breit Eyes” contest has enabled me to combine my two greatest passions – advocacy for healthy vision and art – and I’ve truly enjoyed working with Airwear as they continue their efforts to promote seeing the world more clearly through a lens that is lighter, safer and greener.”

“Essilor is pleased to have a partner in Mary Engelbreit, an iconic and admired artist, through her support for Airwear lenses and participation in the “Breit Eyes” contest,” said Carl Bracy, senior vice president of marketing and new business, Essilor of America. “We look forward to continuing this relationship in the future.”

Airwear lenses are thinner, lighter and more impact-resistant than standard plastic lenses while providing 100 percent UV protection. Airwear lenses are also made using environmentally conscious practices in packaging, water consumption and manufacturing waste re-use.
