Oakley Glasses and Sunglasses Online
Oakley sunglasses and Oakley glasses are possibly some of the most consistently sought after pieces of eyewear on the market. Oakley shades have dominated the fashion and sports sunglasses market for well over a decade now due to their technology, original designs that move ahead of the times and their endorsement by famous sports men and women. Oakley, Inc. is a sport and lifestyle brand, driven to ignite the imagination through the fusion of art and science.
Building on its legacy of innovative, market-leading optical technology, the company manufactures and distributes high performance sunglasses, prescription lenses and frames, goggles, apparel, footwear, and accessories. Oakley was started by James Jannard in 1975 in his garage with an initial investment of $300. The name Oakley came from Jannard's dog, an English Setter. Jannard began by selling what he called 'The Oakley Grip' out of the back of his car at motocross events. His motorcycle grips were unlike other grips riders had seen at the time. The material used to make the grips, a unique creation by Jannard, would get tacky when wet, rather than slipping out of the rider's hand. The material is still used to make the earsocks on Oakley glasses, and many of the nose pieces. In 1980, Jannard released a pair of goggles called the O-Frame.
With the 'Oakley' logo present on the strap, onlookers began to recognize the brand. In 1984, Oakley introduced a pair of sunglasses called the Eyeshade, which were made of plastic and featured removable lenses. They were popularized by Tour de France winner Greg LeMond and other professional cyclists. Oakley continued to introduce new models of sunglasses, including the Blades, Razor Blades, Frogskins, and the Mumbos, which eventually evolved into the M-Frame series of glasses. On June 21, 2007, Italian group Luxottica announced a plan to merge with Oakley in a cash deal worth $2.1 billion, and the deal was completed on November 15, 2007. Oakley is now in the portfolio of Milan-based Luxottica group, along with other brands such as Ray-Ban and Vogue. Oakley Rx refer to the Oakley glasses range. |
