Founded in 1975, Oakley was created for risk takers, adventurers, adrenalin junkies and athletes. Oakley is a motivating force, causing us to re-examine our limits and challenge conventional stumbling blocks. It pushes thrill, drives destiny and encourages excellence. Established almost forty years ago, founder James Jannard launched Oakley as a glasses and goggles-parts line, selling out of his garage or car. Taking its name from Janard’s English Setter “Oakley”, the company has an gained international reputation and loyal following.
