("Tekcapital", the "Company" or the "Group")

Innovative Eyewear, Inc. Announces Reebok® Smart Eyewear for Gym and Indoor
Sports

 

Tekcapital Plc (AIM: TEK), the UK intellectual property investment group notes
that Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW),
the manufacturer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd(®), Lucyd Armor(TM),
Reebok(®), Eddie Bauer(®) and Nautica(®) brands, is pleased to announce
that it has launched two new, light-adaptive sport smartglasses in its
cutting-edge Reebok Powered by Lucyd collection. These new variants of the
Octane and Nitrous frames are designed for use in the gym and for outdoor
sport.

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. This simple silicone accessory
enhances volume and clarity and reduces sound leakage in loud environments.
It's ideal for use in very loud environments such as factory floors and
CrossFit gyms, ensuring the frames are fully audible without obstructing your
hearing.

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."
