Oakley – from motorcycle accessories to sports eyewear
Oakley's story began in California in 1975, when James Jannard founded the company, initially producing motorcycle grips. The brand later expanded into protective sports eyewear and eventually became widely known for its sports and lifestyle sunglasses.
Today, Oakley specialises in sports eyewear, frame design and technologies developed for active lifestyles. Its product range includes not only glasses and sunglasses, but also helmets, clothing and other sports accessories.
Oakley glasses and other products
Sports eyewear is a key part of the Oakley range at Velonova. Well-known models include Sutro, Sutro Lite, Radar, Encoder and Sphaera. They differ in frame shape, size and lens options, making them suitable for different sports and riding conditions.
Oakley also offers lifestyle sunglasses, replacement lenses, eyewear accessories and cycling helmets. When choosing replacement lenses or other accessories, it is important to check compatibility with your specific model.
What makes Oakley technologies stand out?
One of the brand's best-known innovations is Oakley Prizm lens technology, designed to enhance the perception of certain colours and contrasts. Different Prizm lens options are developed for different environments, so it is important to consider their intended use and light transmission when choosing.
