About the original
The Supreme x Nike Sunglasses released in FW19 as part of a leather-heavy Nike capsule alongside a leather bomber, baseball jersey, duffle, and hoodie. The frames are nylon with UV-blocking lenses in black, red, white, and clear; co-branded Supreme and Nike Swoosh are printed on the temples, and the arms taper to a rubberized tip. Nike, Inc. was founded as Blue Ribbon Sports by Bill Bowerman and Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon in 1964 and produces prescription and performance eyewear through Nike Vision. This frame was made exclusively for Supreme and does not appear in Nike Vision's retail catalog; it released November 2019 at $99.
About Nike
Nike is an American sportswear corporation founded in 1964 as Blue Ribbon Sports by track coach Bill Bowerman and runner Phil Knight in Eugene, Oregon, and renamed Nike in 1971. The Swoosh was designed that same year by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson for thirty-five dollars. Bowerman prototyped the Cortez and the waffle-sole Moon Shoe, and the Air Max line, introduced in 1987, made Tinker Hatfield's visible-air midsole a signature. Nike now produces footwear and apparel across running, basketball, football, and training, and owns Jordan Brand and Converse. Supreme has collaborated with Nike repeatedly since 2002 across Air Force 1, Air Max, and Dunk.
