Oakley Brand History

OAKLEY is renowned in the sports world for its creativity in fashion and for the design wonders it constantly produces. This world-class brand has a quarter-century of history, and it refuses to be mediocre.

Before Jim became the owner of Oakley, he was a motocross mechanic and a motocross grip manufacturer and salesman. During his time as a mechanic, the people he most often came into contact with were motocross riders, and in the process of communicating with the riders, he realized that the equipment and accessories at that time could hardly meet the demands of difficult technical maneuvers, and that grips often slipped, and that the windshield goggles he wore could not truly protect his eyes, and instead, they were prone to fogging up, and were damaged by debris, which affected his vision, and even injured his eyes. 1975 was the year that he started his own business. In 1975, he started his own business. With the simple idea of making something that looked better and worked better than the rest, Jim started the Oakley brand with just $300. In his garage, Jim made a motorcycle handlebar that fit better in his hand and had a unique shape. "Everything in the world can and should be made better," Jim told Skeptic, "The only question is 'who does it when'." Professionals took notice of the new design, which was made of a material that did add friction when sweating. This belief sustained this man with genius industrial design skills to success to greatness.
