Oakley sunglasses and masks are widely known all over the world. These are the very sports glasses worn by Olympic skiers, cyclists and snowboarders. Oakley can be seen on Michael Jordan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Pharrell Williams, Kim Kardashian.
Established in 1975 by Jim Jannard, who started selling handgrips for motocross motorcycles, the company has grown into a huge empire with the creation of sports performance equipment and related products. Jannard named the brand after his dog, an Irish setter named Oakley Ann. Having entered the motocross and BMX industries, he went into goggles production.
The first prototypes left much to be desired since the young entrepreneur did not know the specifics of manufacturing. By 1980, however, Jim had finally gained experience and released the first motocross goggles called O-Frames. The model instantly became a hit, recognizable among athletes. The fact is that the innovator applied the Oakley logo to the strap, becoming the first who did this. This marketing move laid the foundation for the brand’s future success.
The mask was a real breakthrough in the world of sports equipment, as it ensured perfect visibility and image clarity. The Oakley mask became an indispensable element in the equipment of motorcycle racers for almost two next decades. From then, Oakley began to diversify its product portfolio – Jim Jannard invented reliable ultramodern sports glasses made with the highest innovative technologies.
