Oakley

Founded in 1975 in California by Jim Jannard, Oakley started with motorcycle grips before transforming the eyewear industry with its first goggles and the revolutionary Eyeshades in 1984. Known for innovations like High Definition Optics® lenses and Unobtainium® materials, Oakley set a new standard in combining performance technology with futuristic design.
For collectors and enthusiasts, Oakley’s archive sunglasses are some of the most sought-after pieces in the world of vintage eyewear. The sculpted Oakley Juliet from the X-Metal series, the bold Monster Dog, and the aerodynamic Eye Jacket each became cultural icons of the 1990s and 2000s. The radical Over The Top, famously worn at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, remains one of the most collectible and rare Oakley frames ever released, embodying the brand’s avant-garde approach.
Oakley also expanded into technical outerwear, backpacks, and accessories, applying the same utilitarian and experimental DNA. Vintage Oakley jackets and archive clothing are now highly valued by collectors for their unique combination of innovation, durability, and futuristic style.
Today, Oakley vintage and archive pieces—from sunglasses to technical apparel—are celebrated as rare cultural artifacts. Collectors and fashion enthusiasts continue to seek these designs for their lasting influence, rarity, and forward-thinking aesthetics.
