Nike and Zeiss Team Up for Rio With the $1,200 Wing Sunglasses

Nike’s new state-of-the-art sunglasses made for athletes participating at the 2016 Rio Olympics are nothing like the shades most people get to wear.

The Swoosh teamed up with optics firm Zeiss and the design team at VSP Global to create their new shades called the Wing for elite runners.

The super-light sunglasses weigh in at just 26 grams, and they don’t just sit on their owner’s face but hug it nice and tight so it almost becomes an extension of the skin. The Wing create multiple points of contact in their wearer’s face, thus taking pressure off of the nose and behind the ears, which makes a huge difference for runners so they can just focus on the race at hand.

The Nike Wing shades are available for $1,200.
