The Nike 5509 Eyeglasses bring athletic style and everyday durability to kids' prescription eyewear. Designed for active children, these full-rim frames feature a comfortable oval shape that suits a variety of face types, available in two sizes (46mm and 48mm lens width) to fit kids from preschool through middle school.
Built for Active Kids
The Nike 5509 stands out with its signature striped temple design—bold graphic lines run along the arms, finished with the iconic Nike swoosh logo. The frames are constructed from lightweight yet durable acetate plastic that can handle the bumps and drops of daily school life. The full-rim design provides maximum lens security, important for prescription lenses that need to stay put during sports, recess, and classroom activities.
With 18 color options ranging from classic black and tortoise to team-inspired combinations like Obsidian/University Red, Game Royal, and Emerald Green, there's a style to match any young athlete's personality. The two-tone colorways incorporate Nike's signature approach—pairing neutral bases with pops of bright color on the temples.
Prescription-Ready Performance
These frames are prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. The 17mm bridge and 130mm temple length provide a secure, comfortable fit that won't slip during active play. Parents appreciate the integrated nose bridge (no adjustable pads), which means fewer parts to break and easier cleaning.
Measurements: Available in 46-17-130 and 48-17-130 sizing. The smaller 46mm works well for younger children (approximately ages 4-8), while the 48mm fits older kids and tweens (ages 8-13). Both sizes feature the same sporty design and color options.

Good price good customer service
New to this business and very satisfied. Will use them again in the future.
Unfortunately I have still not received my glasses and I have even waited over a week and still nothing, so hopefully when I contact them, they will be able to help me to figure out what I'm supposed to do.
My son loves these glasses! They fit him perfectly. They came very fast. Customer service was very good about keeping my updated on the status of the order. I will use them again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are Nike 5509 eyeglasses suitable for kids who play sports?
Yes, the Nike 5509 frames are designed for active children with durable acetate construction and a secure full-rim design. However, they're best for everyday school wear and non-contact activities. For contact sports like basketball or soccer, protective sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses are recommended for maximum safety.
What age range do Nike 5509 eyeglasses fit?
The Nike 5509 is designed for children approximately ages 4-13. The 46mm lens width typically fits kids ages 4-8, while the 48mm size works well for ages 8-13 and older tweens. The best way to ensure proper fit is to compare the frame measurements (46-17-130 or 48-17-130) to your child's current glasses if they have them.
Can I add prescription lenses to Nike 5509 frames?
Absolutely. The Nike 5509 is fully prescription-ready and compatible with single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. You can customize them with various lens options including polycarbonate (recommended for kids due to impact resistance), anti-scratch coating, UV protection, and blue light filtering for screen time.
Are Nike 5509 frames durable enough for everyday kid use?
Yes, the Nike 5509 frames are made from high-quality acetate plastic designed to withstand daily wear. Customer reviews consistently mention durability, with parents reporting the frames hold up well to school, play, and occasional drops. The full-rim construction provides extra lens security compared to semi-rimless styles.
What makes the Nike 5509 different from other Nike kids' frames?
The Nike 5509 features a distinctive striped temple design with graphic lines running along the arms—a signature detail not found on all Nike kids' models. It also offers an oval lens shape (versus rectangular on models like the 5541 or 5002) and comes in an exceptionally wide range of 18 color combinations, including vibrant team-inspired options.
Do Nike 5509 eyeglasses come with a case?
Yes, authentic Nike 5509 eyeglasses come with a genuine Nike case and cleaning cloth when purchased from authorized retailers. This helps protect the frames when not in use and makes them easy to transport to school or activities.

Nike 5509 vs Other Popular Nike Kids' Frames
Choosing the right Nike eyeglasses for your child often comes down to face shape, personal style, and fit. Here's how the Nike 5509 compares to other top-selling Nike kids' frames in our collection.
Nike 5509 vs Nike 5541: Oval vs Square
The biggest difference is frame shape. The Nike 5509 features an oval lens shape that softens angular features and suits round to oval face shapes beautifully. The Nike 5541 offers a square/rectangular shape that adds definition to rounder faces and provides a bolder, more structured look.
The 5509 wins on color variety with 18 options versus just 5 for the 5541. However, the 5541 includes spring hinges for added flexibility—a nice feature for kids who are rough on their glasses. Both are priced identically ($71.18-$88.70) and offer excellent durability.
Choose the 5509 if: Your child has a round or oval face, wants maximum color choices, or prefers the distinctive striped temple design.
Choose the 5541 if: Your child has a longer or more angular face, needs spring hinges for extra durability, or prefers a square athletic look.
Nike 5509 vs Nike 5002: Style vs Versatility
The Nike 5002 is a proven workhorse—it's been a best-seller for years with consistently positive reviews from parents. It offers a more traditional rectangular shape and comes in larger sizes (up to 51mm) that work for bigger kids and young teens.
The 5509 brings more personality with its graphic striped temples and wider color palette. It's the better choice for younger kids (ages 4-10) who want their glasses to look sporty and fun. The 5002 is ideal for older kids (ages 8-13+) who need a slightly more mature, versatile style that works for school photos and formal occasions.
Choose the 5509 if: Your child is younger (4-10), wants a sporty look with bold colors, or has an oval face shape.
Choose the 5002 if: Your child is older or larger, prefers a classic rectangular shape, or needs a more versatile everyday style.
Nike 5509 vs Nike 5538: Similar Shape, Different Details
Both the 5509 and 5538 feature oval lens shapes, making them close competitors. The key difference is in the details: the 5509's striped temple design is more distinctive and eye-catching, while the 5538 has a cleaner, simpler look.
The 5509 offers more than double the color options (18 vs 8), giving kids more ways to express their style. Both are priced similarly and built with the same quality acetate construction.
Choose the 5509 if: Your child wants maximum color choices and a more distinctive, sporty temple design.
Choose the 5538 if: Your child prefers a simpler, less busy look while still getting Nike quality and an oval shape.
Bottom line: The Nike 5509 stands out in Nike's kids' collection for its combination of distinctive striped temple design, exceptional color variety (18 options), and versatile oval shape. It's an excellent choice for active kids ages 4-13 who want their glasses to reflect their athletic, energetic personality.
