Oakley - the story of a popular brand

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of Oakley sunglasses? Based on our experience, for most people, it's still the specialized sunglasses used for sports. They are not far off because that's where the brand started, but nowadays, they manufacture sunglasses for all styles and occasions. Let's see where the brand started and where it ended up, and what are the most popular pieces!

Oakley Sunglasses

The Oakley sunglasses and brand are associated with Jim Jannard, a motocross racer, who, with only $300 in his pocket, founded the brand in 1980 after discovering a new, revolutionary material. The material's characteristic was that it didn't become slippery when wet; on the contrary, it provided better grip. He first made handles, then accessories for motorcycling, which, thanks to his discovery, made racing safer.

Encouraged by his successes, he founded his own company, and after ski and sports glasses, the first everyday glasses were also born. The brand got its name from Jim Jannard's dog, named Annie Oakley. Annie Oakley was a real person, one of the most famous marksmen of her time, who became one of the prominent figures in a male-dominated sport.

In the first two decades of the Oakley brand's founding, they exclusively made sunglasses for motorcycling and skiing, but in 1999, they decided to also cater to eyeglass wearers. After this decision, the brand became one of the most recognized eyewear brands almost instantly.
