The Nike 1000C Eyeglasses bring athletic-inspired style and everyday durability to kids' prescription eyewear. Built with a full-rim rectangular acetate frame, these glasses are designed for active children who need reliable vision correction for school, sports, and play.
Durable Acetate Construction for Active Kids
The frame is made from lightweight acetate, a material widely recommended by eye care professionals for children's eyeglasses. Acetate offers excellent durability to withstand the bumps and drops that come with an active lifestyle, while remaining comfortable enough for all-day wear. The full-rim design provides added stability and protection for prescription lenses, and the hypoallergenic material makes these frames suitable for kids with metal sensitivities.
Available in two sizes—48-15-135 and 50-16-135—the Nike 1000C accommodates different age groups and face shapes. The 48mm lens width typically fits younger children (ages 6-9), while the 50mm option works well for older kids and tweens (ages 9-12). Both sizes feature a 135mm temple length and either a 15mm or 16mm bridge width for a secure, comfortable fit.
Sporty Style Kids Actually Want to Wear
Nike's signature swoosh logo appears on each temple, giving kids a recognizable brand they're excited to wear. The rectangular frame shape is versatile and suits most face shapes, while the color selection lets kids express their personality. Choose from Smoke (a neutral gray perfect for everyday wear), Clear (a translucent crystal finish), Berry (a vibrant purple), Teal (a bold blue-green), or Midnight Navy with a clear gradient—five distinct options that appeal to different tastes.
These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. For active children, pairing the Nike 1000C with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses provides added protection during sports and outdoor activities. The frames accept a wide range of prescriptions, making them a practical choice for kids who need vision correction.
The Nike 1000C delivers the performance-driven design Nike is known for, adapted for younger wearers who need glasses that keep up with their day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age range are the Nike 1000C eyeglasses designed for?
The Nike 1000C is designed for children approximately 6-12 years old. The 48mm size typically fits younger kids (ages 6-9), while the 50mm size works better for older children and tweens (ages 9-12). The best way to ensure proper fit is to compare the frame measurements to your child's current glasses or have them measured by an optician.
Are Nike 1000C frames durable enough for active kids?
Yes, the Nike 1000C frames are made from acetate, which is lightweight yet durable—one of the most recommended materials for children's eyeglasses. Acetate frames can withstand the daily wear and tear of active play better than many alternatives. For maximum protection, pair these frames with polycarbonate lenses, which are impact-resistant and ideal for sports and outdoor activities.
Can I add prescription lenses to the Nike 1000C?
Absolutely. The Nike 1000C is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The full-rim design provides excellent support for a wide range of prescription strengths. We recommend polycarbonate or Trivex lenses for children, as they offer superior impact resistance and UV protection.
What size should I choose for my child?
The Nike 1000C comes in two sizes: 48-15-135 and 50-16-135. The first number (48 or 50) is the lens width in millimeters. If your child currently wears glasses, check the inside of the temple arm for three numbers—these indicate lens width, bridge width, and temple length. Choose the size closest to their current measurements for the best fit.
Are these frames hypoallergenic?
Yes, the Nike 1000C frames are made from acetate, which is hypoallergenic and safe for children with metal allergies or sensitive skin. Acetate is derived from plant-based materials and does not contain nickel or other common allergens found in metal frames, making it an excellent choice for kids with sensitivities.
Do the Nike 1000C frames have spring hinges?
No, the Nike 1000C does not feature spring hinges. However, the sturdy acetate construction provides excellent durability and reliability. The full-rim design and quality hinges ensure the frames hold up well to daily use. If your child is particularly rough on glasses, we recommend adding a sports strap for extra security during active play.

Nike 1000C vs. Other Nike Kids' Eyeglasses
When shopping for Nike kids' eyeglasses, the 1000C stands out for its combination of affordability, color variety, and proven acetate construction. Here's how it compares to other popular Nike frames for children.
Nike 1000C vs. Nike 5036
Both the 1000C and the 5036 feature durable acetate frames in rectangular shapes, making them excellent choices for active kids. The Nike 5036 uses bio-injected acetate, which offers enhanced durability and is marketed as particularly eco-friendly. However, the 1000C offers more color variety with five distinct options (Smoke, Clear, Berry, Teal, and Midnight Navy) compared to the 5036's more limited palette. At $72, the 1000C also comes in at a lower price point, making it an excellent value for parents seeking quality Nike eyewear without the premium cost.
Nike 1000C vs. Nike 5002
The Nike 5002 is another rectangular kids' frame with a full-rim design, and it's been a staple in Nike's children's collection for years. While both frames offer similar durability and prescription compatibility, the 1000C provides more contemporary color choices that appeal to today's kids. The 5002 starts at a slightly higher price ($66.47 vs. $72), but the 1000C's broader color selection and newer design make it a more versatile option for children who want to express their personal style.
Why Choose the Nike 1000C?
The Nike 1000C hits the sweet spot for parents and kids alike. It delivers Nike's athletic-inspired design and quality construction at an accessible price, with enough color variety to let kids choose a pair they'll actually want to wear. The two size options (48mm and 50mm) accommodate a wide age range, and the acetate material provides the durability and hypoallergenic properties that eye care professionals recommend for children's eyewear. For families seeking reliable, stylish prescription glasses that can handle school, sports, and everything in between, the Nike 1000C is an excellent choice.
