VISION Spring 2002 Nike Max Lens

by Stephanie Oakes

The Deal: Nike Eyeware does more than shade your eyes. With revolutionary technology, called Nike Max Lens.

Nike now delivers unparalleled optical clarity, especially with wrap-around curved lenses. For too long, a curved lens meant a curved view. The only clear sight line you had was through a small "sweet spot" on the lens, at best. That's not a problem anymore.

Patented Nike Max Lens technology gives you an entire 51% larger "sweet zone" of panoramic vision. It provides clean sight lines from all angles of gaze, virtually eliminating distortion. In a head-to-head lab test, Max Lens tested against optics technologies from five other leading brands and came out the best in overall visual accuracy. Improved location accuracy, reduced distortion, and superior depth perception means your eyes won't be fooled by the lenses in any direction of view. For athletes, this translates into improved vision all-around for optimal performance levels. And with the Nike 'Skylon,' you get Flexon memory metal, which returns to shape even after accidental bending or twisting. See the vision: Max Lens - Revolutionary lens design increases visual accuracy from all angles of gaze, meaning better vision.

The Nike EyeWear 'Skylon' features a tough, corrosion-resistant, flexible metal developed by the US Naval Ordnance Lab. It's 8 times more resilient than steel and lighter than conventional metals
