Classic Style. Real Polarization. Knockaround Price.
The Knockaround Seventy Nines take the most enduring sunglass silhouette in eyewear history and make it accessible without compromise. Wide rectangular frames, bold front profiles, and slim temples keep the look timeless while polarized lenses do the real work: cutting surface glare so you can actually see on the water, the road, or the beach.
About Knockaround
Knockaround was founded in 2005 by Ace while he was a graduate art student at the University of California, San Diego. Merging the classic East Coast prep style of his Virginia upbringing, his passion for design and fashion, and a newfound love for the perpetually sunny, laid-back lifestyle of Southern California, Ace built a brand centered on sunglasses that are both practical and genuinely stylish. The Seventy Nines carry that founding spirit forward.
Polarized Lenses Built for Bright Conditions
Polarized lenses filter horizontal light waves, the kind that bounce off flat surfaces like water, sand, and wet pavement, to eliminate the intense glare that causes squinting and eye fatigue. The Seventy Nines ship with polarized lenses standard, not as an upgrade, making them a capable everyday performer at a price that does not punish you for losing a pair on the beach.
Frame Design
The Seventy Nines wear a wayfarer-inspired silhouette with a structured rectangular front and gently tapered temples. The combination of a bold front frame and contrasting arm finish gives the frame a two-tone character visible from across the room. Knockaround branding appears on the temple in a restrained script logo. Construction is lightweight plastic, keeping the frames comfortable through full-day wear without the pressure of heavier acetate builds.
Who the Seventy Nines Are For
These are an ideal first pair of polarized sunglasses and a reliable backup for enthusiasts who already know the value of glare reduction. At $35, the Seventy Nines let you wear a capable polarized frame to every activity without the anxiety of a high-investment piece. They suit daily commuting, beach and waterfront use, casual sport, and any situation where you want real sun protection without looking like you raided a gas-station spinner.
Care
Wipe lenses with the included microfiber cloth or a clean, lint-free fabric. Avoid abrasive cleaners and paper products, which can scratch the lens surface. Rinse with fresh water after salt or chlorine exposure to extend lens life.
