Oakley started in 1974 by Jim Janard. He started out by making bike grips in the back of his car. The special things about the grips is that they sucked up all the sweat from your hands so that you have better grip on the bike. It was a huge success. After doing that for two years he started to make goggles for people that rode dirt bikes. He called them eye shades it was the second Oakley product of all time. After a few years in the late 80’s he was driving in his convertible to San Diego and had on a pair of Rey Bans Wafers and realized that there is no protection on the side of your face from the sun. The only protection that there was if you were looking right at the sun. The name Oakley comes from his dog. Right when he stated to make the Blades people started really like the concept of what his glasses were and that they actually protected your eyes from the sun all around your face not just from the front. A lot of people in sports and pro sport stared to wear his glasses to block the sun rays in their eyes. Oakley put a lot thought in his glass design and he still do it till this day. These days Oakley had change the game when it comes to sunglasses. I think they the only ones that have a contracts with the US government and the police force. All of Oakley glasses is safest glasses out there. The number one competitor is Maui Jim. At the headquarters in California flies a skull and crossbones flag.
