t’s game on for sports eyewear in 2014, from the Winter
Olympic Games in Sochi to the ski slopes at home, eyewear
for the active wearer is much more than an accessory: it’s a
necessity. In the heart of another frozen Canadian winter, we predict a
hot year ahead for this growing consumer market.
“A big trend in sports eyewear this year is colour, colour, and colour!”
said Stephen Tripi, Marketing Director for Nike Vision. “If you look to Nike
and their footwear design, it is driving the trend and demand to have explosive
colour and Nike Vision will sync up perfectly with footwear and apparel to
complete the look and the feeling you have when you’re wearing it.”
