The Maui Jim KAWIKA MJ257 Sunglasses are a retrospective look at one of the brand’s original styles—a refined square frame that bridges vintage browline aesthetics with modern lens technology. The crystal-clear frame in the photos showcases a clean, minimalist look, while the tortoise and black variants offer classic versatility. Each features a distinctive metal bridge detail with subtle texture and adjustable silicone nose pads for a secure, comfortable fit.
The KAWIKA features MauiPure lens material—Maui Jim’s most popular option that combines optics nearly as crisp as glass with ultra-lightweight construction and excellent scratch and shatter resistance. Every lens is enhanced with patented PolarizedPlus2 technology, which eliminates 99.9% of glare, blocks 100% of harmful UV rays, and uses a blend of three rare earth elements to boost color vibrancy. The result? Reds pop, greens look richer, and blues appear more vivid than through standard polarized lenses.
Available lens options include Blue Hawaii (a blue mirror coating over neutral grey for bright sunlight), HCL Bronze (a warm, high-contrast lens ideal for variable conditions), and Neutral Grey (maximum light reduction for the richest colors). The lenses also feature anti-reflective treatment on the back surface, plus oleophobic and hydrophobic coatings that repel water, oil, and smudges.
The KAWIKA is designed for small to medium faces and complements oval, heart, and triangular face shapes. The lightweight injected nylon frame keeps weight minimal even during all-day wear, while traditional hinges and adjustable nose pads ensure a customized fit. The refined rectangular shape offers a modern twist on the retro browline trend that became popular in the 1950s and 60s.
These sunglasses are prescription-ready (Rx power range +3.00 to -6.50) and available with bifocal reader options in +1.5, +2.0, and +2.5 magnifications—the bifocal element is nearly undetectable, so no one will know you’re wearing readers. Whether you need single-vision prescription lenses or want the convenience of built-in readers for outdoor activities, the KAWIKA adapts to your vision needs.
