The US label Oakley is famously one of the biggest eyewear manufacturers on the market. The Oakley logo has long since become an iconic symbol that eyewear enthusiasts around the world like to see on their glasses. But why is the American brand so popular? The company has its origins in motor sports, where the specially designed sports glasses caused a sensation. To set new standards, the brand's team of designers works closely with both top athletes and amateur sports enthusiasts. The result is Oakley glasses frames of the highest quality, whose sporty design can be seen wherever engines roar. If you're not a big sports fan and wear glasses more for fashion reasons, you won't be disappointed by Oakley designs, as the brand has made a name for itself not only in the sportswear sector but also in the fashion sector.
Oakley was founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard. With just $300 in his pocket, he single-handedly built the business from the ground up in his garage. The eponym is his faithful companion - an English Setter. This dog breed is considered athletic as well as enduring and thus fits Oakley's brand image. After initially selling grips for BMX handlebars out of the boot of his car, which became more grippy instead of slippery when wet, Jannard designed the first protective eyewear in 1980, which was named O-Frame and included the same non-slip material. While in the early days of Oakley the eyewear was only expected to be seen on the faces of extreme sports greats like motorbike superstar Valentino Rossi, Oakley eyeglasses have now reached half of Hollywood and many beyond. Three-time winner of the Tour de France Greg Lemond helped as a springboard to international notoriety. When the top athlete was in the limelight, he was seen as an Oakley wearer by sports-loving spectators and thus helped the glasses to achieve the status of an iconic brand. Today, it’s not just the superior frame materials but also unique lens technologies and advanced ergonomics that make Oakley eyeglasses stand out from the crowd. Whether it’s the lightweight Oakley titanium frames or streamlined rimless glasses, there's something to suit every style and every type of activity. Every aspect of the frames down to the nose pads have been designed to offer a high level of comfort, but for a perfect fit look out for the models such as Chamber, Crosslink or Marshall with interchangeable rubber nose pads in different sizes. The popular Crosslink model even has interchangeable temples, so you can easily switch between sports and the office. Other popular models such as the timeless Oakley Frogskins and the legendary Oakley Holbrook RX give you with a classic frame shape combined with modern Oakley technology. Available in polished black or satin black with gold or silver details for those who want a more subtle look without missing out on the sportswear quality.
