Oakley (OO9271)

Oakley invents each new product with a design philosophy called sculptural physics: the discipline of solving problems with science and wrapping them in art. Supported by an infrastructure that includes the latest tools of technology, Oakley engineers and artisans continue to expand the company’s array of product categories. The Oakley brand was founded by Jim Jannard in 1975. The name Oakley came from Jim’s English Setter, the dog used to lie down at the foot of an oak tree, which literally means “Oak-Ley”. However the origin of the Oakley brand had nothing to do with either the optical world or eyewear as the first product sold was an MX motocross grip. Oakley is an innovation-driven designer, manufacturer, and distributor of high-performance eyewear, including sunglasses and prescription RX that is worn by the World’s top athletes performing at the highest level of their sport.
