About Oakley

Oakley has never been a brand to take things slow. In 1975, Jim Jannard started out in his garage with $300 and an idea: better motorcycle grips, which he sold himself at motocross tracks. He named the company after his dog, Oakley Anne. From grips, it moved into goggles and, in 1984, its first sunglasses, turning the world of sports eyewear upside down — and ultimately leading to hundreds of patents for lenses, materials and design. That same technical obsession extends across the rest of the brand’s range, including footwear: functional, rugged and built to perform, not stand still. Since 2007, Oakley has been part of eyewear giant Luxottica, but its sporty, slightly rebellious DNA remains. This is American engineering with attitude. And because shops set their own prices and promotions, the same Oakley item can vary from one shop to another. At Solezilla, you can compare offers from multiple shops in one place and grab your size at the sharpest price.
