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.

Contrast is an essence of modern life and style is its synthesis. Keeping today’s women in mind, Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the Creative Directors of Valentino, blend delicacy and strength, past and present. The Maison’s proverbial romanticism and spirit have found a new balance: a dimension that is both ethereal and resolute. The launch of the Valentino Eyewear collection in January 2012 reflects this plan to create a system of strong elements that convey a message. As always, craftsman attention and couture savoir faire are prominent aspects. Aesthetics and technique go hand in hand, because innovation cannot exist without acknowledgement of the past.
The Karl Lagerfeld Fall/Winter 2011 debuts an assertive eyewear collection for men and women this season. Shapes from the women’s sun wear collection are vintage inspired and amplified by use of colors – dark hues that graduate to light and then are infused with a contrasting color burst or rich tortoise shells and horns. The Karl Lagerfeld logo placements are strategic. Sleek metal begins at end pieces and is then punctuated with the “KL” initials mid temple. The men’s collection showcases retro shapes with modern color gradients and the “K” temple exemplifies skilled craftsmanship. Intricate hinges seen throughout collections are incorporated at end pieces, including an industrial interlocking hinge.
This Fall Calvin Klein debuts a collection that incorporates high quality and sophisticated luxury into both the men’s and women’s collections. Sleek, architectural lines and discrete temple embellishments create a minimalist design, synonymous to the Calvin Klein Collection identity. A sophisticated color palette plays a key role in this season’s collections. Femininity is prevalent in each women’s frame through the use of luxurious horns, gradient zyls and translucent or textured details. The men’s collection is iconic and masculine with custom grey zyl interiors, unique hinge treatments and polarized lenses on all sun styles.
Diane von Furstenberg Eyewear combines unique designs, details and materials to create a beautiful and modern sun and ophthalmic collection for 2012. The form of each frame is precise with careful attention paid to frame shapes. The oversized rounds, sharp squares and feline cat eyes all create an aura of edge and proclaim individuality.
