Prescription-compatible sports eyewear engineered with 400 Curve geometry, V-Groove lens seating, and interchangeable shield systems.
URBAND PARIS is an engineered optical brand established in Douvres-la-Délivrande, Greater Paris, created to resolve a persistent challenge in performance sports eyewear: conventional wrap-around frames (typically 8-base to 10-base curves) induce severe prismatic distortion, dizziness, and excessive temporal thickness when fitted with corrective prescriptions.
By implementing a human-centered engineering approach, URBAND PARIS re-architects sports frames around the true kinematics of human vision. Instead of forcing flat corrective lenses into warped geometries or relying on awkward optical inserts, URBAND PARIS harmonizes a stable anatomical fit, lightweight structural endurance, and clean French masculine design.
The collection primarily caters to active male professionals aged 25 to 65 engaged in cycling, endurance running, dynamic training, and low-light urban sports who require uncompromising vision without sacrificing sports safety.
Developed to serve specialized optical retail needs, our catalog branches into distinct functional frameworks tailored to diverse facial profiles and activity levels.
The flagship athletic line featuring technical nylon fronts, V-Groove high-myopia bevels, soft rubber temples, and quick-snap magnetic shield attachments. Built for intense running and endurance cycling where vibration resistance is paramount.
Urban-inspired structured optics combining masculine architectural contours with lightweight performance hardware. Ideal for wearers transitioning fluidly between executive work environments and active evening sports.
Designed to provide optical retail chains and performance distributors with a complete, focused men's performance offering.
Sophisticated everyday frames delivering high-strength stability, lightweight ergonomic nose contact, and contemporary silhouettes suitable for day-long office and commute wear.
Engineered precisely around masculine facial anatomy, eliminating the awkward slipping or temporal pinching common to neutral unisex sports frames.
Optimized for rapid lateral acceleration, head movement, and heavy perspiration. Non-slip temple tips and memory titanium retain frame alignment in all weather conditions.
Specifically proportioned with 51mm eye sizes and deep V-Groove lens channels to keep high-index corrective lenses slim, lightweight, and visually pristine.
Every mechanical detail is calculated to enhance visual clarity, minimize frame mass, and prevent temple degradation during high-intensity athletics.
For athletic users with high prescription requirements (over -4.00D or +3.00D), standard sports eyewires expose thick lens borders that distort peripheral vision. Our proprietary V-Groove seats deep inside the eyewire, reducing exposed edge bulk by up to 35% and rebalancing the center of gravity closer to the user's face.
Rather than adopting steep 8-base or 10-base sunglass curves that force lab surfacing compensations, the 400 Curve Front maintains a balanced, natural contour. It wraps just enough to shield against wind and debris while preserving uncompromised optical alignment without fish-eye distortion.
Temples are secured to the chassis via our patented 8-hole high-tensile fish wire stitching system. Unlike standard machine screws that vibrate loose under repetitive running impact, this flexible suture absorbs cyclic kinetic stress and returns the hinge to accurate square alignment.
The patented snap-lock magnetic mechanism enables the wearer to instantly convert primary prescription glasses into high-velocity sport shields. Wearers can interchange polarized daylight shields, UV400 amber trail lenses, or transparent night cycling visors with zero tools.
Optical materials must perform under physiological stressors. URBAND PARIS rejects brittle polycarbonates and unyielding metals in favor of composite synergy:
URBAND PARIS delivers transparent technical records and verified testing data to streamline importation, retail dispensing, and lab glazing.
Every production batch complies strictly with European CE standards, Medical Devices Regulation (MDR) classification for ophthalmic frames, and EN ISO 12312-1 standards for interchangeable sunglass shields.
Standard 51mm eye sizes with calculated V-Groove bevel angles make URBAND PARIS frames directly compatible with standard edging machinery and conventional automated lab finishing.
Managed directly under Urband International's Singapore headquarters, combining French design engineering with Shenzhen quality inspection and international fulfillment centers.

URBAND PARIS combines a balanced 400 Curve Front, recessed V-Groove beveling, patented fish wire stitching, and quick-snap magnetic shields to deliver authentic sports performance with full corrective clarity.
The collection is engineered for active adults—specifically men aged 25 to 65 with mid-to-high myopia or hyperopia who run, cycle, train outdoors, or require versatile prescription glasses for daytime work and nighttime athletic activity.
The One Frame + Multiple Shields architecture uses high-precision magnetic spring hooks to snap tinted, polarized, or low-light contrast shields directly onto the primary optical frame in seconds. Wearers only need to purchase and glaze one pair of prescription lenses to handle indoor and outdoor conditions.
Yes. The compact 51mm eye size and standardized V-Groove bezel allow standard lab edging equipment to process single vision or freeform progressive lenses effortlessly, avoiding the expensive specialized surfacing machinery required by wrap frames.
Urband International provides full CE conformity certificates, EN ISO 12312-1 sunglass test reports for applicable shield modules, REACH compliance screening, and detailed optical sizing sheets for customs clearance and retail distribution.
