The history of Oakley begins in 1975, when Jim Jannard began to sell grip handles at motocross races. Those strange new things were remarkably successful, but the business did not tip. In 1980, Jannard introduced a new model of protective goggles for motocross racers. The Oakley brand remains close to the sports world of high speed and performance. Their sunglasses reflect the philosophy of the house; and therefore search of materials, high performance lenses. To emphasize the concept of the brand, you can find Oakley sunglasses in films like X-Men, Mission Impossible 2, Blade 2, Spider-Man, or worn by athletes of the bore of Greg LeMond or Juan Pablo Montoya.
