Excuse the pun, but I just can't see it - I go for function, not bling.

I guess this is just part of the whole OCP thing that I don't get. I guess it's as important to be seen as it is to see.
"Nice" sunglasses feel lighter on the face, and in my experience stay nice longer. If your Lowes glasses are "nice" to you, then that's all that matters. But have you actually tried some real sports glasses? They aren't even all expensive, brands like Serfas, Tifosi, etc. made nice glasses for prices as low as $30 or so.
