Oakley, founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard in his California garage, embodies over 45 years of technical innovation and a passion for performance. Starting out as a motocross accessory company, the brand quickly developed iconic models like the Eyeshades (1984), followed by the legendary Frogskins, before reinventing sports optics with exclusive technologies such as High-Definition Optics (HDO) and Prizm lenses.
Recognized for its more than 600 patents covering all its products—sunglasses, protective gear, bags, and apparel—Oakley has successfully combined design, technical expertise, and durability to meet the needs of riders, athletes, and active parents. Now a member of the EssilorLuxottica group since 2007, the brand retains its Californian heritage while expanding globally.
