Nike Contacts

[shoebag2000]

I am thinking about getting some of those Nike contacts, the amber ones, for lacrosse. They say that they help you track the ball better, which would be good for me, plus they make you look like a bamf. I would really like that since I play man down, d-middie, and fogo, as well as middie, and intimidation is a big factor I think in the first 3. So has anybody used them or known people that used them and can tell me how much they really work and if they are worth it?

i heard aobut them when they were just a prototype, i never knew they acctually came out with them, id say go for it

[rjattack19]

i dunno any thing about them but they look sick...wait r they legal?

[Talent223]

I have never used them, but here is a review from a couple months ago: http://www.lacrosseforums.com/showthread.php?t=35605&highlight=Nike+contacts

Awesome, thanks for the quick replys guys, and I guess I should have searched, I just haven't been on in a while, so the thought never really crossed my mind. But now that it's open, does anybody know how long they really last? I would assume longer than the specified month since you wouldn't wear them much.

I heard something about those for baseball. they're supposed to block out greenish colors and make the seams on the ball more visible. they would probably be good for lacrosse too.

as long as you take care of them they will last longer then a month, like you said you'll really only be wearing them on games days and what not.

How much do they sell these things for?

I was just complaining that I'm sometimes having trouble seeing a (dull) white ball inside an arena that has a grey sport floor, (dull) white walls and white ceiling. Amber tinted lenses might be just the ticket.

like everyone has asked are they legal?

[irishlaxburger2]

I know they are legal in football, hence the new NCAA football rule that bans tinted visors.

"After seeing the number of eye shield requests expand rapidly in the past four years, the committee voted to eliminate the use of tinted eye shields during games. In reports from the NCAA's Committee on Competitive Safeguards and Medical Aspects of Sport and the National Athletic Trainers Association, both groups supported eliminating this allowance. Both groups noted that there are alternatives to the helmet shields if an eye condition warrants protection (contact lenses, sport goggles, etc.)."

Is there any proof that they actually work?

[raykessler]

i read a study comparing these to regular eye black to those stickers... eye black came out on top then the contacts then the stickers

i dont think there's a way to scientifically prove if they work. Ive used them and yes, they do offer a benefit. However, I dont think its a benefit worth me spending my money on, because im poor. If money wasnt a factor, id probably wear them at every game and practice

[zack Attack 12]

they should totally make them in white how sweet would that be to look like you had no eyes that would be tight/scarier(sp)

[Mrmccoolsatool]

^^^ they sell those, but not for what these contacts do, these contacts are tinted for better vision on the field. The white ones would just look sweet.

[IIIISIIII]

lol why wouldnt they be legal?? there just tinted contacts

[gigo567]

Who cares about tinted I'm getting the ones that make your eyes look white(like Zack Attack 12 wanted) That would be so awesome and intimidating.

[Dose]

if i saw some idiot wearing those, id try my best to throw a pile of dirt in his face when the ref wasnt looking

All i gotta say man its giv'er eh

[lax38x]

they only work with baseballs because they helpy u see the red seams of the baseball not just the all white piece of rubber called a lax ball

[mdawg]

i read on a sight that they are expected to be $300 for a six month supply

EDIT: disregard that i saw them online for only 55. the first site i saw was way off. haha

I think that brian Roberts of the Baltimore Orioles used them last year. He had a career season last year. He Loves Them.

[Texlax333]

your way off lax38x, the amber ones make everything look clearer all together there actually perfect for a lax player more then any other sport, exp. if you play goalie these things are on point. you can get free trial pairs from your eye doc. go to nikevision.com there sweet. lucky my fiance's dad is one he gave me pairs of both the amber and the grey-green. there sweet.
