Renowned for their precision and durability.
Oakley was started by Jim Jannard in 1975 in his garage with an initial investment of $300.
Fun fact – The name “Oakley” came from Jim’s English Setter!
In 1980, Jannard released a pair of goggles called the O-Frame. With the ‘Oakley’ logo present on the strap, the brand garnered increasing recognition and prominence throughout the sports industry.
The first Oakley sunglasses, Factory Pilot Eyeshades, were sport-oriented, resembling goggles and were released in 1984. These were followed in 1985 by the Oakley Frogskin, a casual sunglass style that was made in Japan.
The essence of the brand is communicated through hundreds of professional and amateur athletes who depend on Oakley products to provide them with the very best while they redefine what is physically possible.
