ABSOLUTELY INSPIRING
Adidas Eyewear has expanded its Inspired collection with two new models in nylor and rimless. Made with special Performance Steel, the new frames combine sculptural design with strategic function. In addition, Adidas Eyewear has developed the frame's nosepad with a double axis movement mechanism, meaning as soon as the glasses are put on, the nosepad automatically fits to sit perfectly on the individual's nose without adjustment. These new frames are inspired by the Adidas ClimaCool ventilation technology. The vent designs are engineered to promote venting and less build up of sweat in prime sweat zones.
