Nike Provides High-Tech Glasses For Paralympic Athletes Who Lose Their Eyesight.

They are like second layers of skin.

Lex Gilette, a US Paralympic athlete, lost his eyesight in his childhood, but did not prevent him from becoming the world's top long jumper.

Wearing a pair of "Lex-Specs" glasses designed to prevent sand from entering the eye.

Is it even cooler to show yourself on the highest stage?

In preparing for the Rio Paralympic Games, the nickname "Lex" Elexis Gilette is located at the training center in Chula Vista, California.

The company's cross functional NXT team met to further improve the design of this incredible high-tech eyeglasses.

"Lex-Specs" uses hard shell material and its shape is similar to the style of sculpture. This structure can help players to judge the environment better.

Besides,

The team abandoned traditional coating materials and applied the technology of heat pfer printing to the glasses.

"Next is the decisive stage," Nike's official blog records the design concept of the glasses.

"The team has added some other elements on the basis of meeting the perceived needs of Gilette: they hope that the luster of this spectacle can be echoed with its unique style and convey a fearless and refined aesthetic concept to the outside world.

Therefore, the team did not use conventional coating materials, but rather pferred the leather from shoes and clothes to the glasses to achieve the desired luster.

Unfortunately, you can't buy Gilette's wind glasses on the market, but that doesn't mean that Nike has no other cool products. You can spend 110 pounds on a pair of sophisticated Tailwind sunglasses, and Mo Farah, the king of long-distance running, wears the glasses and conquers the 5000 and 10000 meters of Rio.

Tailwind running shoes and sunglasses are all designed with ultra light and streamlined design, so that the speed of the runner in running will not be slowed down due to equipment reasons.
