Electric Knoxville Polarized Sunglasses: The Jason Momoa Collection
The Electric Knoxville is the signature frame of the Jason Momoa collection, born from a spirit of rebellion and rooted in the cultural heritage Momoa champions. Each pair carries his tattoo art and signature, and a portion of every sale goes to Kumano I Ke Ala, a Kauaʻi-based organization dedicated to empowering a sustainable future and protecting native Hawaiian culture.
Designed in California and crafted in Italy, the Knoxville is built for people who demand real optical performance without sacrificing character. The square silhouette is bold and versatile, the construction is premium, and the warranty is lifetime.
Melanin-Infused Lens Technology
Every Knoxville lens is built on a 6-base polycarbonate platform infused with melanin, the same pigment the human eye uses to filter light. The result is natural-looking contrast enhancement that reduces eye strain without distorting color. Polarization cuts reflected glare from water, pavement, and sand so you see clearly whether you are on the ocean or in the city.
- 100% UV protection across UV-A and UV-B wavelengths
- Up to 98% blue light blocking for reduced digital and solar eye strain
- Polarized construction eliminates horizontal glare
- Melanin infusion enhances contrast without color distortion
Frame Construction
The Knoxville frame is injection-molded from lightweight bio-resin, a plant-derived material that is impact-resistant and noticeably lighter than conventional acetate. The result is a frame that holds its shape, survives active use, and stays comfortable across long wear sessions. Premium Italian craftsmanship means tight tolerances, consistent hinge action, and finishing quality that matches the optical performance inside.
The Momoa Collection
Jason Momoa’s collaboration with Electric goes beyond a co-sign. Each frame in the Momoa collection carries his tattoo artwork and personal signature on the temple. The collection is also a vehicle for giving back: proceeds support Kumano I Ke Ala and its mission of cultural preservation and environmental stewardship in Hawaii. When you wear the Knoxville, you carry that story with you.
Glass Lens Option
Select Knoxville variants are offered with glass lenses rather than polycarbonate. Glass delivers the highest possible optical clarity and superior scratch resistance at the cost of slightly more weight. If optical purity is your priority, the glass lens variants are worth considering. The frame construction, polarization, and UV protection are consistent across both lens materials.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are the Electric Knoxville sunglasses really Jason Momoa's sunglasses?
- Yes. The Knoxville is part of Electric's official Jason Momoa collection. Each frame features his tattoo artwork and personal signature on the temple, and a portion of every sale goes to Kumano I Ke Ala, a Hawaii-based nonprofit Momoa supports.
- What does melanin-infused mean in Electric sunglasses lenses?
- Melanin is the natural pigment the human eye uses to manage light. Electric infuses it directly into the polycarbonate lens material to enhance contrast and reduce eye strain while keeping colors looking natural. It works alongside polarization to deliver clearer, more comfortable vision.
- Do the Electric Knoxville sunglasses block blue light?
- Yes. The Knoxville lenses block up to 98% of blue light, which reduces strain from both solar exposure and digital screens. Full UV protection (100% UV-A and UV-B) is also built in.
- What is the difference between the polycarbonate and glass lens options?
- Polycarbonate lenses are lighter and more impact-resistant, making them ideal for active use. Glass lenses offer higher optical clarity and greater scratch resistance at a slight weight increase. Both options are polarized and provide 100% UV protection.
- Where are Electric Knoxville sunglasses made?
- The Knoxville is designed in California and manufactured in Italy. Electric backs every pair with a lifetime warranty.
- What charity does the Jason Momoa Electric collection support?
