It's a collaboration between Dragon and Nike. All I needed to know that was look at the picture above your post.

Well, they are made as a collaboration with Dragon, so I wouldn't really call it infringement.

Nike goggles would be fucking sick. There sun glasses are deecent. Nike knows how to make things stylish. They would definintely make a sick goggle and promote it with a pretty dope team

I'm so pumped for some nike gear. The Nike Hazed Jacket in the Blue and White is sick. I think Nike will do well if they really focus on making gear and sponsoring good skiers.

Honestly I don't like seeing companies like Nike getting in the ski/snowboard scene, but at the same time I think their involvement will increase televised events, fans, viewership, size of the community etc. Of course all of these things have their drawbacks.

Goggs are sick though!

Reason 1: Sweatshops
Reason 2: Was anybody around when Nike got into soccer in the 90s? Cleat prices doubled within 2 years.

Fuck em. There are plenty of skier-owned companies you could be supporting.

Nike sucks + they've taken the design from Dragon... What can you expect from a company that is in every sport simply because it has money to buy. I prefer spending 200$ on a Orage jacket than a Nike one.

I'm not entirely sold on the whole "colab" thing... especially in this case. It's clearly a Dragon product. My guess is it went something like this... Nike approached them, paid them, and said make straps with our logo on it. Then said, 'Oh, let's put an X between our logos in our marketing campagins and call it a collaboration because that's what the cool companies are doing.'  Take notes from ON3P and Jiberish... that was truly a collaboration of creative minds to put out a much more unique piece of equipment.

^this

The info isn't really reliable so... just noticing it looks like Dragon's product doesn't mean there's a collab, but yeah, the ressemblance is so close that we can expect it is a collab

whether or not nike actually did anything besides pay for their logo to be on it is irrelevant, even though it is probably what happened. no one is taking any credit from dragon. but collabs should be better executed as you said

God Damn, It's a collab. Beneath you can read the article about the whole new dragon line and a small quote is;

''What sets the new collection apart from past collections?

This year is our 20th anniversary as a premium eyewear brand and we feel the collection is our best yet. Two standouts would be our collaboration with Nike in the Advanced Projects line and the release of our new NFX goggle.''

Source:
http://business.transworld.net/116881/features/the-line-break-dragon-spring-2013-eyewear-collection/

Companies like Nike and Dragon don't steal from each other and get away with it that easily. And if nike really wanted to steal it, they probably made sure to get rid of the dragon logo on the right bottom of the goggle.

Those goggles are dope, but those goggles are also indeed Dragons collabed. Bit too giant for my liking but still awesome.

Nike only cares about making money, PERIOD. They see a market that they aren't in and then enter into it just to get a piece of the pie. I don't see why anyone in skiing would be excited about this other than an athlete that could get a chunk of $ from a sponsorship, but that exactly what they do, is use their financial power to get their piece of the pie. They should stay the fuck out and stick to team sports. Besides, there are other companies in snowsports that have much better quality and style. What you want a fuckin swoosh? Go to footlocker or Dicks ( who doesnt even carry ski hardgoods) or Sports Authority. I think this is purely a financial move for Dragon, that's too bad.

K2 has been in the ski world for decades. They are one of the big boys. They can do as they please and continue to make new gear because k2 kicks ass and has always been there.

nike should stick to track shoes
