Brand History
The Story of Nike
Nike began life as Blue Ribbon Sports in 1964, founded by Phil Knight and his University of Oregon track coach Bill Bowerman, before being renamed Nike in 1971. It's since grown into the world's largest sportswear company.
Nike eyewear applies that same performance-first engineering to frames — lightweight materials, secure fit, and designs built to keep up with an active lifestyle.

Every Nike pair is quality-checked by our licensed opticians before it goes on display, so you get the real thing at up to 70% below typical retail pricing.
We fit Nikeframes to your face shape and prescription in-house, with personalized adjustments included. Selection varies by season, so if you're coming from Pickering, Whitby, or elsewhere in Durham Region specifically for Nike, contact us or visit our Ajax optical store to check current in-stock styles before you make the trip.
