Adidas in Focus: SP0067 and SP0070 Sport Sunglasses Review

The finite difference between good and great is perhaps no more evident than in professional golf, where many of the top players on the Korn Ferry Tour have the ability to compete with the world’s best on the PGA Tour. Achieving success can often be a matter of a slight statistical improvement in strokes gained putting or greens in regulation.

Finding those slight improvements can also be a matter of improving one’s equipment. When it comes to sports sunglasses that work well on the golf course, Adidas has carved out a significant niche. Through combining advanced technology, cutting-edge design, and a deep understanding of the needs of golfers, Adidas has created a line of sunglasses that promise enhanced performance and comfort during a variety of outdoor activities.

We recently tested two popular offerings from Adidas’s sports sunglasses line: the SP0067 and SP0070 models. Both models are designed with the golfer in mind, promising superior eye protection, improved visual clarity, and stylish design. However, each model brings its unique attributes and characteristics to the table.

In this review, we’ll delve into the specifics of each product, comparing their features, performance, and value to help you make an informed decision for your next pair of sports sunglasses.
