Warby Parker Sport Sunglasses: Stylish Performance Eyewear Launches at $195

When you think of sports sunglasses, what comes to mind? Perhaps rec spec goggles or oversized, mirrored cycling shades. While these options excel in function, they often lack style. Warby Parker is addressing this gap with the launch of Warby Parker Sport, a new collection of performance sunglasses starting at $195.

“I’m really proud of where we ended up where these are glasses that have all of the great function of great sports glasses, but something where you’re not going to look back in 10 years and think, why was I wearing this crazy shield on my face?”

Neil Blumenthal, Warby Parker co-founder and co-CEO

The lightweight frames, crafted in Italy, are designed to hug the face securely during activity while protecting eyes from UV exposure. Achieving this balance posed a challenge: a high base curve can distort optics. To resolve this, Warby Parker manufactures its own lenses at in-house optical labs in Las Vegas and Syracuse, New York.

“You often see style-driven sport eyewear that has function and optics as an afterthought, or you see super-functional products that are, I would say, a little less wearable, and both of these options are also overpriced. We wanted to combine what we do best, which is timeless design coupled with great optics and functionality at an accessible price point.”

The sunglasses offer three lens options, each tailored for specific environments:

• Rosewood lenses: Designed for trails and snow, these enhance contrast.
• Brown lenses: Ideal for field sports and fishing, providing enhanced contrast and depth perception.
• Gray lenses: Deliver true color and reduce glare, suited for water and road use.

Performance lenses can also be added to non-sport frames. The design process prioritized both form and function, resulting in frames made from hand-painted nylon with a soft-touch coating. Features include spring hinges in the arms and no-slip nose pads. Available colors include jet black, marine trench, mahogany tortoise, and sapwood tortoise.

The Warby Parker Sport collection is available online and at the brand’s retail locations. Its launch follows high demand for performance eyewear and a milestone year for the company. In 2025, Warby Parker achieved its first full year of positive net income, totaling $1.6 million. The brand also announced partnerships with Google to develop smart glasses and with Target to open joint shop-in-shop locations.
