Sporty and fashionable: they have not been thought for sport, but well adapt to it.
Glasses created by the most famous fashion manufacturers which take into account design and innovation: Glamour and technology are perfectly synchronised in frames like the Dirk Bikkembergs’s one, which combines simplicity and elegance in a black wrapping frame with detailed precision.
For those who love sporty taste, technology, design and attention to details, Giorgio Armani proposes new male sunglasses, created in collaboration with Carrera R&D department.
Characterised by wrapping volumes and aerodynamic shapes, they distinguish themselves for innovative technical contents and captivating shapes.
An example of all this is 572/S, a rectangular and wrapping frame, with an additional new feature: the Safilo mould lens with its extremely wrapping curvature.
Just thought for sailing is Prada’s Linea Rossa, whose extreme practicality and aesthetic rigour have made it one of the most distinguishable brands of the fashion world.
All these concepts are found in this elegantly aggressive grylamid model, which combines the unmistakable Prada style with practical technical details, such as rubber bridge and terminals.
A casual-metropolitan style, which cuts imagination out, is CK’s one: its glasses are the modern interpretation of the most famous models of the 60s and 70s.
What makes such frames suitable for sport is the width of the volumes: large proportions which allows a perfect view.

Obviously we could not miss Carrera out, whose fall/winter collection 2008 includes Modus, a model which falls within the sports category thanks to the choice of grylamid, the elastic but at the same time strong material which has been used for its creation.
Comfort is guaranteed by the soft and adjustable nose-pads, together with the comfortable megol which covers the metal structure and makes it an elemental frame but enriched by temples with adjustable angles.
The inclination of the temples can be modified to achieve perfect fitting.
The same set-up has been used by Polaroid, whose models -with essential lines and polarized lenses- guarantee a perfect visibility with any light and chromatic conditions.
And finally comes Radar, leader in the evolution of sports eyewear and landmark of the Oakley store. Radar is the first glasses which is provided with Oakley Hydrophobic Technology, a permanent covering created by Oakley that makes the lenses water-and-oil repellent, performing three essential functions:
it prevents the lenses from wetting and being spotted by water, it makes them unattackable by oils and any other grease and unaesthetic substance.
Thanks to its light materials and interchangeable lenses, this glasses is particularly suitable to playing golf: one of the lenses that can be applied, indeed, is able to mitigate the contrast with the green.

Another collection which has been thought in order to accomplish excellent performances is the new SportMaskPerformance by Rudy project.
It consists of glasses which can offer the best technical performances in sports such as cycling and triathlon, thanks to ultra-light materials and wrapping lenses which increase the visual field.
A gritty and up-to-date design where no detail, even the littler one, is neglected: ultra-flat temples that can be inserted under the helmet and adjustable silicon nose pad.
Wrapping lenses, wide and perfectly fitting, allow a lateral vision without distortions and are characterised by a front spacer which improves the aeration of the lenses and avoids their clouding.
Moreover, thanks to the innovative Quick Change system for lenses substitution, SportMaskPerformance enables to face any climate change at the best.

The result first of all: unquestioned leader in clothing and accessories industry, Nike’s latest collection doesn’t miss out anything.
High-quality frames, with a kind of aerodynamic shape, which well adapts to any face.
A different model for each discipline, although a minimal and everyday mood is called back to mind, as well.
An example? The cool and old-fashioned style of 7031, an eyewear frame entirely inspired to the sports world: ultra-light nylon frame, with the typical Nike “Swoosh” logo on the terminals.
The CAM tinted hinge offers a greater support and makes the design of this superdynamic model even more precious, whereas the temples and bridge in rubber guarantees a better stability.
Similar features are those of Impel sunglasses, belonging to Nike’s Sport Culture line, whose “Nike Max” lenses allow a precise vision from any perspective.
Besides the aggressive design, semicircular frame -which guarantees a perfect fitting- and polycarbonate lenses, capable of protecting the eyes from both collisions and UVA/UVB rays, this model is characterised by a rubber ant-slip ventilated bridge which favours air circulation and reduces the misting of the lenses.

Fila, too, has focused on dynamism and lightness its collection, entirely dedicated to free-time and relax.
