The Nike 5048 Eyeglasses bring athletic performance and everyday durability to kids who need prescription eyewear that can keep up with school, sports, and play. Built with a full-rim rectangular acetate frame, these glasses feature the lightweight construction and secure fit that active children require.
The frame is available in two sizes—49mm and 52mm lens width—to accommodate growing faces from ages 10 through the early teens. Rubberized temple tips and nose pads help keep the glasses in place during movement, while the matte finish in colors like Midnight Navy, Brigade Blue, Wolf Grey, and Matte Black gives kids a sporty look they'll actually want to wear. The iconic Nike swoosh sits subtly on each temple.
These frames are prescription-ready and work with single-vision lenses. Parents often choose polycarbonate lenses for kids' glasses because they're impact-resistant and won't shatter—a smart pairing with these durable frames. The full-rim design provides maximum lens security and structural stability, important for frames that will be taken on and off throughout the day.
Measurements for the 49mm size are 49-13-130 (lens width, bridge width, temple length in millimeters), while the 52mm size measures 52-14-135. Proper fit is key: the bridge should rest comfortably on the nose without pinching, and temples should extend straight back without pressing too hard behind the ears. If you're ordering online, compare these measurements to your child's current glasses or consult the size chart—kids' eyewear fit can vary significantly between brands.

I bought a second pair of the same glasses I already had for my son and these keep falling down his nose. I’ve tightened them, no luck. He’s dropping them constantly and I’m concerned that they will scratch, in addition to being annoying for him.
The glasses I ordered exactly what he currently has and these are significantly bigger, so they fall off his face.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the Nike 5048 eyeglasses prescription-ready?
Yes, the Nike 5048 frames are fully prescription-ready and can be fitted with single-vision or progressive lenses. They work with a wide range of prescriptions and are compatible with lens upgrades like anti-reflective coating, blue light filtering, and UV protection. Many parents choose impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses for kids' glasses.
What age range do the Nike 5048 eyeglasses fit?
The Nike 5048 comes in two sizes: the 49mm lens width is typically suited for ages 10-11, while the 52mm size fits age 12 and up. However, individual fit varies based on your child's facial structure and head size. Measure your child's current glasses or face width to ensure the best fit.
What materials are the Nike 5048 frames made from?
The Nike 5048 features a full-rim acetate frame construction, which is lightweight, durable, and hypoallergenic. The frames include rubberized temple tips and nose pads for added comfort and grip during active wear. Acetate is a premium material that holds up well to the wear and tear of kids' daily activities.
Do the Nike 5048 glasses stay on during sports and active play?
The Nike 5048 features rubberized nose pads and temple tips designed to provide a secure, comfortable fit during movement. However, proper adjustment is important—some customers report the frames can slip if not fitted correctly. For high-impact sports, consider having an optician adjust the fit or adding a sports strap for extra security.
What's the difference between the 49mm and 52mm sizes?
The 49mm size measures 49-13-130 (lens-bridge-temple) and is designed for smaller faces, typically ages 10-11. The 52mm size measures 52-14-135 with a slightly wider bridge and longer temples for larger faces, usually age 12+. The 52mm version provides about 3mm more lens width and 5mm longer temples for a comfortable fit on growing kids.
Are the Nike 5048 frames durable enough for everyday kids' wear?
Yes, the Nike 5048 frames are built with durable acetate construction and a full-rim design that provides maximum lens security. The lightweight material won't weigh down on small faces, and the rubberized components add flexibility. Like all kids' glasses, they benefit from a protective case and regular adjustments to maintain proper fit as your child grows.

Both the Nike 5547 and the 5048 feature rectangular acetate frames designed for active kids. The 5547 offers a similar sporty aesthetic with the Nike swoosh branding and comes in comparable sizes.

The Nike 5038 is another modern rectangular option for young wearers. While it's priced slightly higher at $78.77, it offers a different aesthetic that some kids may prefer.

Both are excellent choices for durability and comfort—the decision often depends on which frame shape and color options work best for your child's preferences and facial structure.
Why Choose the Nike 5048?
The Nike 5048 stands out for its straightforward rectangular design, multiple matte color options, and two size choices that accommodate kids from ages 10 through early teens. At a starting price of $69.41, it's one of the more affordable options in Nike's kids' collection while maintaining the quality construction and sporty aesthetic the brand is known for.
