The Spy
brand was created by the passion of a group of
over-achieving athletes and enthusiasts seeking a new
visual perspective on technical eyewear products. Our
values are not bound by tradition, but based on the core
ideals of young-at-heart pioneers, those whose needs to
express freedom and innovation are stronger than the
rules and conventions of the day.
Our Spy Brand DNA melds an action sports heritage with
an affection for fashion-forward styling. Constantly
evolving the relationship between material, function and
design, our DNA generates an obsession with progress.
Spy finds itself at the intersection of retro-futuristic
design and optical innovation, while at the same time
expressing it's identity through the iconic minds,
bodies and vision of the world's greatest athletes and
artists.
Born and bred in North County San Diego, Spy Optic's
heritage is deeply rooted in action sports. Legendary
surf breaks, world-renowned skate parks, and nearby
mountains make our backyard the definitive product
testing ground for our employees and world class
athletes. Our team riders dominate their respective
professions; surfing, snowboarding, motocross,
skateboarding, wakeboarding, and skiing. Spy mixes
eclectic, organic and technological elements of design
with action sports and pop culture to produce a product
line and lifestyle that is unrivaled.
All Spy sunglass lenses meet the highest optical
standards, protecting the wearer's eyes 100% from UVA,
UVB, and UVC rays. Spy's strategic commitment to
technology is unwavering, exemplified by breakthrough
optical engineering advancements such as ARC(r)
Prismatic Polycarbonate lenses, and Delta
Photochromic(tm) lenses. Proprietary Scoop(r) venting
frame design in both sunglass and goggles, Gemini(r)
snow goggle lenses, and interchangeable Selectron(tm)
foam in our moto goggles have all exceeded existing
standards in performance eyewear. Spy is protected by
over 40 design and technology patents pending worldwide
and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Orange 21 Inc.
