The Reebok Smart Eyewear collection offers Innovative Eyewear's most powerful music experience to-date, with an end-to-end enhanced sound system developed with leading audio engineers. The addition of these new photochromic variants expands the collection to indoor and hybrid indoor/outdoor users, such as athletes who enjoy weightlifting, CrossFit and pickleball.

Additionally, Innovative Eyewear has launched a new accessory for its Reebok and Lucyd Armor lines, the Lucyd Boosters.

Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear, said:

"Almost immediately after launching our Reebok smart eyewear collection with a focus on running and cycling, we heard from customers that wanted a pair for the gym or the court as well, We're pleased to deliver it to them, and provide the year's most fun and functional accessory for the millions of people who prefer exercising indoors or in both indoor/outdoor environments. Additionally, we're more than excited to launch a product that we think is the ideal smart companion for America's new favourite pastime, and one of the U.K.'s fastest growing sports-- pickleball."
