Knockaround Classics Polarized Sunglasses
The Knockaround Classics are the frame that put the brand on the map: a clean wayfarer-inspired silhouette with polarized lenses, sold at a price that makes you actually want to wear them in the water, on the sand, and everywhere in between. At $25, these are not a backup pair you hide in the glovebox. They are the pair you reach for every day.
Polarized Lenses Built for Glare-Heavy Environments
Polarized lenses cut horizontal glare reflected off water, wet pavement, and sand. For anyone spending time on the water or at the beach, the difference is immediate: the surface of the ocean stops blinding you and you can actually see. The Classics use polarized lenses that block reflected glare without distorting color, making them a practical choice for paddling, fishing, driving to the beach, or walking out the door on a bright South Florida day.
The Classics Frame
The frame follows the proportions that made the wayfarer silhouette a staple across decades: a slightly squared lens shape, medium coverage, and temples that sit flat and stable without pinching. The lightweight construction keeps the frame comfortable for all-day wear. The Knockaround "K" logo is embossed on the temple, and the Knockaround script runs along the inner arm. Everything about the design reads clean and unfussy.
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Ace while he was a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego. The brand came out of a straightforward idea: merge East Coast prep style with a SoCal laid-back sensibility and make sunglasses that are both practical and stylish without charging a premium for the name. The Classics are the direct expression of that idea.
Who the Classics Are For
The Classics work for anyone who wants reliable polarized eye protection without treating their sunglasses like a fragile investment. They are the right call for beach days, boat days, surf sessions where you want something you can lose without regret, festival crowds, road trips, and everyday outdoor use. The price point removes the hesitation that comes with more expensive frames. Wear them hard.
