In 1975 Oakley changed the entire game with a simple handlebar grip. With a need for something more prominent to put his “O” logo on, Founder Jim Jannard turned to goggles for the bigger real estate on the strap…and the rest is optical history .35 years later, Oakley is the leader in optical performance—bar none. 1975年、Oakleyはシンプルなハンドルグリップで業界を変えた。ロゴの「O」をもっと大きなものに付けられるよう、創設者のJim Jannard氏はゴーグルストラップの大きなスペースに着目した．．．その後はみんなが知っての通り。35年後、Oakleyはアイウェア界のリーダーとして君臨している。
Oakley asked Staple Design in late 2009 to help them celebrate this momentous occasion. After all, Oakley was born in 1975. I was born in 1975. The stars were aligned as they say. 2009年後半にOakleyはStaple Designにこのすばらしい記念を祝すために手伝って欲しいと依頼しました。だって、Oakleyが生まれたのは1975年。僕が生まれたのは1975年。そういうめぐり合わせですかね。
So we’re proud to announce “The History Of Oakley by Staple Design”. This will be a 6-piece collection that’ll drop over the next few months, beginning July 13th along with a special event at Reed Space.
More details soon but here’s the information for the event. Come by and catch a glimpse of what is to come. Did I mention Just Blaze is coming to grace us on the wheels? Oh yeah.
という事で、「The History of Oakley by Staple Design」を発表いたします。今後数ヶ月の間に公開される6点のコレクションで、7月13日にReed Spaceで行われるスペシャルイベントで封切られます。
