REALLY GOOD LOOKING AND MADE TO TAKE A BEATING
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Adam "Ace" Moyer during his time as a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego.Merging the classic East Coast prep style of his Virginia upbringing, his interest in design and fashion, and a newfound love for the perpetually sunny, laid-back lifestyle of Southern California, Ace created a company centered around a sunglasses line that was both practical and stylish.
AFFORDABLE SHADES SINCE 2005
Growing up, my dad had a pair of sneakers in the garage that he’d wear when he mowed the lawn. He called them his ‘knockaround’ sneakers—he could count on them, they were dependable, and he didn’t care if they got beaten up.So, I just applied that idea to sunglasses. I wanted them to be affordable, if you lost them or broke them, no big deal. The Knockaround name seemed like a natural fit—like, I’m just going to knock around this pair of sunglasses.
KNOCKAROUND IS PLASTIC NEUTRAL
That’s right—for every pound of plastic we use in production, we remove a pound of ocean-collected plastic from the environment elsewhere! To coordinate this massive collection goal, we work with 4ocean to employ captains and crews all over the world who work around the clock removing debris from oceans, rivers, and coastlines. 4ocean audits the collection amounts to ensure our status as Plastic Neutral is accurate and verified
