From a garage in 1975 a mad american scientist named Jim Jannard put his money where his mouth was and started Oakley with only $300. He invented a new type of handgrip for motorcross riders and called it unobtainium. He then went on to use the material which increases grip with sweat by reinventing sports sunglasses. 35 years later his company was bought out for 2 billion by Italian giant Luxottica who also make Rayban and many others. However rest assured all is not lost as Oakley has retained all its legendary USA design and build quality it is renown for.
