Editor's Take
Here's the thing about Knockaround-they're basically the anti-Oakley, and that's exactly why they work. Founded in 2005 by Adam "Ace" Moyer in San Diego, this company started with a simple premise: sunglasses shouldn't cost more than your monthly coffee budget.
And honestly? They nailed it. Quality shades starting at just $28 isn't just marketing speak-these things actually hold up. The founder's story is pretty great too. His dad had these old "knockaround" sneakers for mowing the lawn that had this broken-in coolness and always got the job done. That's literally where the name came from, and it perfectly captures what they're about.
But here's what's really impressive: they've managed to scale without losing their soul. 2025 marks their 20th anniversary, and they've grown from a quirky sunglasses company run by an art student to a full-blown, global eyewear brand. They're now the Official Eyewear of the PGA TOUR and PGA TOUR Champions through 2029, which is kind of wild when you think about it.
The variety is honestly overwhelming in the best way. Fifteen different frame styles in a wide range of colors as well as ongoing Limited Editions, collaborations, and an interactive "design your own" CUSTOM SHOP. With over 1,000,000 possible combinations in their custom shop, you could probably spend hours just playing around with options.
What really sets them apart though is their collaborations. They've done everything from Hello Kitty and Dead & Company to official NHL partnerships. It's this perfect balance of not taking themselves too seriously while still making genuinely good products.
And they're not just about looking good-they actually care about the planet. They're Plastic Neutral, removing a pound of plastic from waterways for every pound they use. So you can feel good about your purchase, which is more than you can say for most eyewear brands.
The customer service seems solid too. Their team is live at headquarters Monday-Friday 9am PST to 5pm PST, and you can call them at (619) 436-1175 or use live chat. Plus free shipping on all orders over $50 and free returns within 30 days.
Look, they're not trying to be the fanciest sunglasses you'll ever own. They're trying to be the ones you actually wear without constantly worrying about losing or breaking them. And in a world where decent sunglasses can easily run you $200+, that's honestly refreshing.
