Corresponding with Nike’s recent launch of the premium Nike Sportswear (NSW) collection, a key category in the Nike brand, Marchon Eyewear introduces Nike NSW eyewear, which brings the same inspiration and innovation to athletes with products that help them “See Sport Better.” From lifestyle sunglasses to ophthalmic frames, sport-inspired products are being developed for each sport segment targeted by Nike, and are designed to appeal to the athlete in everyone. The NSW sunglass collection consists of injected-plastic frames with polycarbonate lenses, acetate frames with CR39 or nylon lenses, and very detail oriented acetate, nylon and metal frames with polycarbonate lenses, laser etchings on the inside temples and metal hardware throughout the frame. Unique features inspired by retro designs and vibrant colors create a classic collection with a modern twist.
