🕶️ Oakley…

The Oakley brand has become one of the top-performing sunglasses and sports equipment companies in the world. It all started in 1975 with “The Oakley Grips,” which were motorcycle grips unlike any other. The grips performed so well because of the attention to detail and eye for future trends that James had from the very beginning. The same material from the grips is used for earsocks on Oakley glasses, and many of the nose pieces today. The company also produced a number of unique products related to racing and BMX during this early growth period.

After years of moderate success, Jannard released a pair of goggles called “The O-Frame” in 1980. This was where the history of Oakley changed. With the ‘Oakley’ logo present on the strap, the brand garnered increasing recognition and prominence throughout the sports industry. This success allowed the brand to release its first pair of ski goggles, helping it reach new audiences and expand the Oakley brand identity.

The company released its first pair of sunglasses in 1984, called the “Factory Pilot Eyeshades,” which resembled goggles. The sunglasses were marketed to sports fans and athletes alike, helping cement the brand as a sportswear brand in the eyes of prospective customers.
