Oakley is a brand specializing primarily in the production of sports eyewear, goggles, helmets, as well as outdoor clothing and accessories. The company places great emphasis on advanced technologies and high-quality craftsmanship in their products.
Origin and beginnings of the brand
The Oakley brand was founded in 1975 by Jim Jannard in California. The initial capital was just 300 dollars, and the first products were made in the founder's garage. The name "Oakley" comes from the name of Jannard's dog, an English Setter named Oakley Anne. The brand has been associated with motorsports from the start, and its first product was innovative motocross grips made from a proprietary material called "Unobtainium."
Development and expansion
In the 1980s, Oakley introduced the O-Frame goggles to the market, which gained recognition among athletes. In 1984, they launched the first sunglasses designed for athletes - Factory Pilot Eyeshades, followed by the Frogskin model. The brand gradually expanded its product range to include products dedicated to various sports disciplines. In 1995, Oakley debuted on the stock market, and in 2007 it was acquired by the Italian group Luxottica, enabling further global expansion and technological development.
