Oakley Sunglasses – The Perfect Combination of Style and Function
Oakley was founded in 1975 in the USA by a man called Jim Jannard who had a reputation as being a bit of a crazy scientist. He loved nothing more than taking everyday objects and using them in new and different ways and it’s this passion for creativity that has seen the Oakley brand grow to become one of the most successful in the world. It all began when Jim Jannard discovered a unique grip material which he first used on motorbike hand grips which he then found could be successfully used on the arms of motorcycle goggle sunglasses for a precise and comfortable fit so the motorcyclists could ride with ease.
After making this discovery, he took his experiment one step further and wanted to see if he could take the same concept and apply it to invent a design for sports sunglasses. His aim was to provide sunglasses which were not only top quality in terms of their optical ability but that also looked stylish and original. He achieved this with the Eyeshade which was the first one-lens pair of sunglasses on the market. This innovative and highly successful product got everyone talking and quickly put the Oakley brand on the map.
Decades of innovation, passion and design genius has seen Oakley transcend from catering solely to the sports market to branching out into other areas and they now provide a variety of market leading lifestyle products. Oakley sunglasses have now become the most popular and stylish choice of sunglasses for the fashion conscious man and this inspirational brand now have over 600 patents and enjoy a near unrivalled status as one of the most innovative and stylish sunglasses brands in the world. With such a stylish and eclectic selection of sunglasses on offer, Oakley have gained a massive following including many world famous athletes and celebrities including the king of cool himself Snoop Dogg who is regularly seen wearing Oakley Fives Squared sunglasses and Men in Black legend Will Smith. One of the biggest contributing factors to Oakley’s success is their ability to combine style and practicality with relative ease.
