Silhouette Launches the New adidas Eyewear Lite Fit Youth Line
More Images |
Wearer: Today’s most discerning kids and teens and parents looking for well made frames backed by Silhouette’s quality standards of durable products offered at an unbeatable value.
Specifics: The Lite Fit collection is available in six youthful shapes, four different eye sizes and playful and vibrant colors.
Selling Points: The Lite Fit collection is manufactured using the lightweight, high-tech material Performance Steel for the frame front and features the durable yet flexible SPX for the temples. These materials make the Lite Fit collection extremely lightweight and comfortable, free from pressure points on the nose or head and are barely perceivable when worn. The Traction Grip material on the temple ends ensures that the frames sit securely without slipping. The product was designed with seamlessly embedded screws in the hinges avoiding problems such as the entangled hair and risk of injury. The collection comes with a hard case for safe storage and a cleaning cloth. Additionally, with the release of Lite Fit Collection, adidas Eyewear pledges to donate $1,000 for every 1,000 frames sold in support of Harper’s Playground, whose mission is to develop inclusive playgrounds nationwide to help support those children with disabilities, and other charities that help to ensure every child has access to a safe place to play.
