DESCRIPTION RATINGS & REVIEWS PRESCRIPTION GUIDE

The Nike 8138 N prescription eyeglasses bring performance-driven design to everyday eyewear. Built with a semi-rimless rectangular frame in lightweight stainless steel, these frames balance a clean, professional look with the durability Nike is known for. The half-rim construction—where the metal frame wraps the top of the lens while leaving the bottom open—creates an unobstructed field of view that's particularly useful for reading, screen work, and active movement.

The 56mm lens width and 16mm bridge deliver a comfortable medium-to-large fit, while adjustable silicone nose pads let you dial in the perfect position. The temples feature Nike's signature Swoosh logo and sport a two-tone finish—the Satin Navy/Wolf Grey shown here pairs a deep blue front with textured grey temple tips designed to grip securely during activity. Other colors include Brushed Gunmetal/Black, Satin Black/Cargo Khaki, and Satin Black/Racer Blue, each with contrast temple detailing.

Built for Movement

Nike designs its optical frames with the same attention to fit and function as its athletic gear. The 8138 N uses a metal alloy that's both strong and light—you get the structural integrity of a full-rim frame without the weight. The semi-rimless design reduces bulk around your lower field of vision, which is why many wearers prefer this style for sports, gym sessions, or any situation where you need clear sightlines and a secure fit.

"The frame size and fit is the best I've found for a pair of glasses while active. These hug my head in a way that I don't have to wear straps etc to keep them in place while doing activities." — Designer Optics customer review

The 140mm temples are long enough to sit comfortably behind the ears, and the textured temple tips add grip when you start to sweat. That said, if you're hard on your frames or wear them daily in high-sweat environments, consider keeping a backup—some long-term users report the temple tips can eventually wear down with heavy use.

Prescription-Ready for Your Needs

These frames accept single-vision, progressive, and bifocal prescription lenses. The 56-16-140 dimensions and moderate lens height (approximately 32mm) provide enough vertical space for progressive lenses, making them a solid choice if you need multifocal correction. The semi-rimless design works well with most prescription strengths, though if you have a high minus prescription, ask your optician about high-index lenses to keep the edges thin.

The Nike 8138 N is FSA and HSA eligible when purchased with prescription lenses, so you can use pre-tax dollars to cover the cost. These frames ship with demo lenses and are ready for your optician to fit with your Rx.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the Nike 8138 N eyeglasses suitable for sports and active wear?

Yes, the Nike 8138 N frames are designed with active lifestyles in mind. They feature adjustable silicone nose pads and textured temple tips that provide a secure, slip-resistant fit during physical activity. The lightweight stainless steel construction and semi-rimless design keep them comfortable for extended wear. However, for high-impact sports, you may want to consider full-rim frames or sports-specific eyewear for maximum durability.

Can I use my FSA or HSA to purchase the Nike 8138 N eyeglasses?

Yes, prescription eyeglasses including the Nike 8138 N are eligible for reimbursement with FSA, HSA, HRA, and LPFSA accounts when purchased with prescription lenses. You can use your FSA/HSA card at checkout or submit your receipt for reimbursement. Frames and prescription lenses are both covered as qualified medical expenses.

What prescription types work with the Nike 8138 N frames?

The Nike 8138 N frames accommodate single-vision, progressive (no-line bifocal), and lined bifocal prescriptions. With a lens height of approximately 32mm and a 56mm lens width, these frames provide sufficient vertical space for progressive lenses. For higher prescriptions, high-index lens materials (1.67 or 1.74) are recommended to reduce lens thickness and weight.

How durable are semi-rimless frames compared to full-rim frames?

Semi-rimless frames like the Nike 8138 N offer a good balance between the lightweight feel of rimless glasses and the durability of full-rim frames. The metal construction is robust and the top rim provides structural support, though the exposed lower lens edge can chip if dropped. They're suitable for daily wear and moderate activity, but require more care than full-rim frames. Always store them in a protective case when not in use.

What size are the Nike 8138 N eyeglasses?

The Nike 8138 N measures 56-16-140, meaning a 56mm lens width, 16mm bridge width, and 140mm temple length. This is considered a medium to large fit. The lens height is approximately 32mm. These dimensions work well for most adult face sizes, and the adjustable nose pads allow for customization of the fit.

Do the Nike 8138 N frames come with a warranty?

Yes, Nike eyeglass frames typically come with a manufacturer's warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms vary, but most Nike optical frames include coverage for manufacturing defects. Contact the retailer or Nike directly for specific warranty details and to process any warranty claims.

Nike 8138 N vs. Similar Nike Eyeglasses

If you're considering the Nike 8138 N, you might also be looking at other frames in Nike's performance optical line. Here's how the 8138 N compares to three similar models in our collection.

Semi-Rimless vs. Full-Rim: Nike 8138 N vs. Nike 8130

The Nike 8130 shares the same athletic DNA as the 8138 N but features a full-rim frame that completely surrounds the lens. Both frames offer similar rectangular shapes and 56mm lens widths, making them comparable in size and fit. The key difference is in the rim style: the 8138 N's semi-rimless design is lighter and provides a more open field of view, particularly useful for reading or screen work. The 8130's full rim adds durability and better protects the lens edges from chips, making it the better choice if you're hard on your glasses or need maximum impact resistance.

Price-wise, they're nearly identical—the 8130 runs $107.65-$120.00 compared to the 8138 N's $119.38. Choose the 8138 N if you prioritize lightweight comfort and a minimalist look; go with the 8130 if you want the most durable option.

Size Matters: Nike 8138 N vs. Nike 8131

The Nike 8131 is a full-rim frame available in two smaller sizes: 53-17 and 55-17, compared to the 8138 N's 56-16. If you have a narrower face or find the 8138 N too wide, the 8131 might be your better fit. Both frames feature the same rectangular shape that balances rounded facial features, but the 8131's full-rim construction makes it slightly heavier and more durable than the semi-rimless 8138 N.

The 8131 is priced at $107.65-$131.75, making it comparable to the 8138 N. The trade-off is clear: the 8138 N offers a lighter, more open feel in a larger size, while the 8131 provides a smaller fit with full-rim protection.

Minimalist Alternatives: Nike 8138 N vs. Nike 8054

If you like the semi-rimless aesthetic of the 8138 N, the Nike 8054 offers a similar lightweight, half-rim design. Both frames deliver that clean, unobstructed look and comfortable all-day wear. The 8054 has a wider price range ($56.00-$127.38) depending on configuration, which could make it a more budget-friendly option.

The main consideration here is sizing and color availability—check the specific measurements of the 8054 to ensure it matches your face width. Both frames are excellent choices for anyone who wants the performance features of Nike eyewear without the visual weight of a full-rim frame.

Why Choose the Nike 8138 N?

The Nike 8138 N stands out for its combination of semi-rimless style, medium-to-large fit, and secure grip features. If you lead an active lifestyle and want prescription eyeglasses that stay put during movement while maintaining a professional appearance, the 8138 N delivers. The adjustable silicone nose pads and textured temple tips provide a custom, slip-resistant fit that's hard to find in this price range. At $119.38, it's competitively priced within Nike's optical line and offers excellent value for a performance-oriented frame that works equally well at the office, gym, or anywhere in between.
