Spy Sunglasses - History
Spy Sunglasses goal is to consistently push the limits of design and technology in eyewear, and now we are bringing this same philosophy to softgoods. This new commitment is highlighted in the Spy Sunglasses featured seasonal collections. The RAD collection for summer and the ROCK collection for fall.
Spy Sunglasses is based in north county San Diego, just minutes from perfect surf, legendary skate parks, and a short drive to the mountains. Taking advantage of our location, Spy Sunglasses employees regularly surf, skate, wakeboard, motocross, mountain bike, and snowboard. We are the ultimate free-spirited company, mixing assorted eclectic organic and technological elements of design with action sports and pop culture.
Spy Sunglasses invests heavily in research and development and regularly develops technical product with action sports' best athletes: surfers Keith and Chris Malloy, Keala Kennelly, snowboarders Mark Frank Montoya and Todd Richards, skateboarders Rob Dyrdek and Danny Way. Spy Sunglasses also has motocross legends Kevin Windham and Jeremy McGrath, BMX riders Jamie Bestwick and Cory Nastazio, Wakeboarders Parks Bonifay and Danny Harf, and MTB athletes Sam Hill and Chris Kovarik.
The Spy Sunglasses strategic commitment to technology is unparalleled. Breakthrough optical engineering advancements such as ARC™ Prismatic Polycarbonate lenses, Trident™ Polarized lenses, and the patented Scoop™ frame design clearly set us apart from the competition.
Unlike many other sunglass brands who shoot out their frames hundreds at a time on conveyor belts in China, Spy Sunglasses styles are designed in California, genuinely hand-crafted in Italy, and undergo an elaborate manufacturing and quality control process. Every color fade on Spy Sunglasses is hand-painted by an Italian artisan. In addition, every logo on an optical product is hand-painted or hand set as well. |
