The history of Oakley glasses
After company founder Jim Jannard started his business in 1975 with his first produkt beeing a special B-1B grip for BMX handlebars, the first sports glasses followed in 1980. The "O Frame", a safety goggle for off-road motorcyclists, was the first to feature the classic Oakley logo on the strap. This was very important to the company's founder, because from this point on, the advertising effect for the other products, in the beginning mainly sports and sunglasses, was given. The Oaklay "Factory Pilot" sunglasses, the next product from the rapidly developing, innovative company, a pair of sunglasses identical in lens shape to the "O Frame", were combined with normal sunglasses temples. During the Tour de France, numerous professional cyclists and especially the then winner LeMond made Oakley sunglasses world famous. In 1986, Oakley introduced the next innovative sunglass models. These were the first to feature an interchangeable lens system. Since then, Oakley's imaginative designers have continued to push the boundaries and to improve the design and quality of their sunglasses.
