Spectral Specs: Nike's Olympic Sunglasses Are By and For Gods
The company name itself proves Greek mythology to be at the core of Nike's identity. Nike, the goddess of victory, resided with other deities on Mount Olympus. Both she and her home would go on to lend their names to two of the biggest and most important entities in the world of sports – the titular brand, and the Olympic Games.
Given this quick refresher, you won't be surprised, then, that the new Nike sunglasses are named after Zeus and Athena, inspired by the near God-like abilities of this year's Olympian athletes.
It's not just name and backstory that make these Olympic Nike sunglasses special. We really mean it when we tell you that these shades are of truly unique design as well.
Now available for purchase, these almost otherworldly specs probably won't become your grab-before-you-leave-the-house pair – but certainly a special occasion statement piece. Up to you though!

Named after the goddess of wisdom, warfare, and craftsmanship, these Nike sunglasses' asymmetrical lenses are nothing short of sculptural.
Nike Zeus Sunglasses
