Nike NIKECHARGEDSHIELDIB3518X

A closer look at the NIKECHARGEDSHIELDIB3518X

In the photos the Nike NIKECHARGEDSHIELDIB3518X is a single shield lens across the whole face. The lens is held by no rim at all: the bridge and temples mount straight onto the lenses. The frame material is plastic, per the supplier. An injected plastic frame is light and springy. The branding sits on the lens. Look for the orange swoosh on temple. Colour 492 is how Nike labels this version.

The numbers on the temple

It measures 61-18-140, which is the lens width, then the bridge, then the temple length, all in millimetres. A 61 mm lens puts it in the extra large range for sunglasses, so check it against a pair you already own. It ships unadjusted, straight from the box; a quick visit to an optician sorts any fit issue.

What the lens does

The lenses are blue mirror. A blue tint gives the view a cooler cast. A mirror coating that hides the eyes and throws glare back. Nothing in the supplier's data says these lenses are polarized or gives a UV rating, so we say neither.

Same frame, other colourways

The NIKECHARGEDSHIELDIB3518X is also listed here as 009 (Matte College Grey with gold mirror lenses). Shape and size are the same; only the finish changes.
