A pair of glasses with a lightweight and comfortable frame, featuring adjustable nose pads and temples for a perfect fit. The lenses feature a cutting-edge design with new curves and angles, offering a wider field of vision and greater protection from the sun and wind.
Where does the name come from? Dunamis means “power”, “strength”: it is a concept widely used in philosophy, especially by Aristotle, to describe the potential or capacity of something to be realized or to effect a change. Dunamis refers to the intrinsic capacity of an object to perform an action or to reach a state.
This curved mask, characterized by aerodynamic lines and a beautifully shaped lower part, represents an evolution of the Dunamis model. One of a kind, the glasses boast a thermoformed lens designed by Marcolin, a symbol of innovation and quality. For those who don't know, Marcolin Group is a leading player in the international eyewear scene, with a production that ranges from optical frames to sunglasses. Over the years, Marcolin has established strategic partnerships with various brands in the fashion and sports sectors. Among these, the collaboration with Adidas stands out, for which Marcolin produces lines of sports and lifestyle eyewear under the prestigious Adidas brand.
The sophisticated design of the lenses, characterized by an increased height, significantly increases visibility, consequently improving performance and safety in a wide range of sports disciplines. An innovative integrated ventilation system effectively combats the formation of condensation, ensuring a constantly clear vision. In addition, the oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings, combined with advanced anti-dust and anti-scratch technologies, extend the longevity of the product and enhance its performance. These treatments also promote the rapid elimination of water droplets, which slide off the surface of the lenses without obstacles.

VERDICT ON THE FIELD
The feature that immediately strikes is the extraordinary lightness: only 28 grams that define a new standard. The glasses, equipped with a large and enveloping monoblock lens, guarantee an impeccable fit and an unprecedented panoramic vision. Designed for athletes of all disciplines, this model is particularly suitable for cycling, thanks to its wide mask which offers numerous advantages in terms of visibility and protection at high speeds.
These sports glasses feature lenses with a light transmission of 15%, making them suitable for sunny days. It is hoped that Adidas will also decide to introduce clearer lens options to the market, thus expanding the choice and meeting the different needs of bikers, who do not always find themselves pedaling under the sun. Although these lenses are not polarized, they are thermoformed to improve color perception and minimize glare. The temples of the glasses have large ventilation openings on each temple and are equipped with a contoured, rubbery grip that ensures a stable hold, despite their extremely light weight. The temples, made of rubber, are also easily adjustable to best adapt to the user's face.
The temples of the glasses feature a textured pattern that ensures a firm hold, keeping the glasses stable even on the roughest MTB trails. The stability they offer is remarkable, considering their ultra-light weight of just 28 grams. A particularly interesting feature is the “spoiler” located in the lower part of the lens, which not only improves the fit of the glasses to the face, but also contributes to greater aerodynamics (certainly not a priority for many but fair to say). From an aesthetic point of view, this detail gives the glasses a decidedly attractive look.
