Any LRC review on the Nike Vaporwing sunglasses? expensive, yes, but would like to know if somebody here uses or recommends them.

Depends on what you are using them for. I got a pair for free.
+Vision straight ahead is good. Shades are super-light and seem durable. Fogging was not an issue.
-Peripheral vision is not very good - I think it has to do with the way the glasses are curved or maybe the lens material, but it's kinda disorienting if you aren't running straight ahead. "Aggressive" lens shape makes the wearer look like a huge tool.
OVERALL: I run a lot of trails and on paths where I really need good / decent peripheral vision. I got Smith Reverb Chromapops and they are still my go-tos. They came with lenses for sun and chromapop ones that I use on the trail and were like $85 on ebay. If cost isn't an object, you are fine with poor peripheral vision and you NEED the lightest most aggressive looking sunglasses around, then maybe go for it. I'd say these are mostly suited for trackwork, and I think Nike probably agrees - they advertise how "aerodynamic" they are (I couldn't tell...) ... but who cares about that except maybe a 100m runner?
At retail probably not. I bought 2 pairs on eBay for less than 100 and I’m pretty happy with my purchases
Thanks for the replies!
Ugly, and not worth it. Many better options for hundreds of $ lower.

They are mostly xc ski, but great for mtb and running too.
