Oakley

Oakley makes performance eyewear, apparel and accessories. It was started in 1975 by James "Jim" Jannard, a former motorcycle parts distributor tired of being told to "shut up and sell", who named the brand after his English Setter, Oakley Anne. The brand describes its roots as a do-it-yourself mentality that changed the eyewear game, and it runs collaborations such as one with Brain Dead. Oakley's website names Luxottica Group S.p.A. of Milan as its publisher. Luxottica acquired Oakley in 2007; following its combination with Essilor, the brand is part of EssilorLuxottica.
