The next major step in the road to Oakley’s success came when a professional cyclist requested that Jannard designed sunglasses with different coloured lenses ideal for cycling and that would enhance visual clarity. This cyclist happened to be Tour De France champion Greg Lemond and this relationship proved to be the first of many.After establishing thatoakley sunglasse the motorbike grips could be incorporated into the design of motorcycling goggles, Jannard had the idea of taking this same concept and applying it to inventing a design for sport orientated sunglasses. He wanted to provide a combination of eye protections with a cutting edge look and optical competency ideal for athletes. The first pair of sunglasses produced was the Eyeshade which was a one-lens sunglass which used the same technology as that of goggles but had the aesthetic of sunglasses.
This new and innovative product proved highly successful and got people talking about the Oakley brand. The look of the sunglasses were not as sleek and prada handbagsstreamlined as they are today, but Jannard had certainly created a buzz and athletes who required eye protection regarded Oakley as a cutting edge and state of the art brand who had invented an incredibly effective piece of equipment.
