The new collection brings together technical performance and signature style, designed to move with you—on the course, on the run, and everywhere in between.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY), a lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, announced the launch of Warby Parker Sport, a new category of performance eyewear. As the brand’s most advanced performance offering, this collection seamlessly bridges the gap between everyday style and sport-specific functionality.

“We’ve never believed performance and great design have to be trade-offs. Our goal with Warby Parker Sport was to make approachable performance eyewear that transitions seamlessly from everyday wear to active moments,” said Dave Gilboa, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.

The launch reflects Warby Parker’s continued expansion into new use cases for eyewear, as customers increasingly look for products that keep up with multi-dimensional lifestyles. It also builds on the brand’s growing presence in sports culture, including its multi-year partnership with quarterback Arch Manning.

“Most performance eyewear isn’t designed with prescription wearers in mind. With Warby Parker Sport, we focused on advanced optics, lightweight materials, and a fit that supports comfort, clarity, and stability across a range of activities,” added Neil Blumenthal, Co-Founder and Co-CEO.

About the collection

Crafted in Italy, Warby Parker Sport features five frame styles, each made from a flexible, lightweight nylon that enhances comfort. All frames include secure, no-slip nose pads and concealed spring hinges for added durability. The collection also incorporates advanced lens technology, developed to enhance vision across a range of environments. The new performance polarized lenses reduce horizontal glare by up to 55%—without distorting digital screens—while improving clarity and contrast:

• Gray lenses for true color and glare reduction, ideal for water and road
• Rosewood lenses for enhanced contrast and reduced eye fatigue, ideal for trails and snow
• Brown lenses for depth and contrast, ideal for field sports and fishing

In addition to the dedicated Sport frames, these advanced lenses can be added to any non-Sport Warby Parker sun frame, offering customers greater flexibility and customization.

The launch campaign captures the collection on a group of athletes and creators who embody an active lifestyle, including runners Victoria Paris and Victoria Bennie, and golfer Roger Steele.

Warby Parker Sport is available starting at $195 in both prescription and non-prescription options, both online at WarbyParker.com and in Warby Parker retail locations nationwide. As always, for every pair purchased, a pair of eyeglasses is distributed to someone in need.
