OAKLEY

Oakley Sunglasses was founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard, CEO and Chairman of the Board. The success of its first product line, handgrips for motocross motorcycles, led the company to expand into the design and manufacture of motocross goggles in 1980. The prominently displayed Oakley Clothing name on the goggles quickly gained recognition and helped establish Oakley Footwear reputation for functional quality and unique design. By 1984, using the knowledge gained in designing, manufacturing and marketing goggles, the company produced its first high-performance sunglass, the Eyeshades. The company has developed and secured over 600 patents and 800 trademarks worldwide and has incorporated those technologies into numerous new Oakley sunglasses. Visit Oakley.com
