Highlights

The 1st American Volunteer Group (AVG), nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was comprised of pilots from the US Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marine Corps. Consisting of three fighter squadrons known for their innovative flying style and tactical victories, the Flying Tigers’ shark-faced fighter planes remain among the most recognizable of any individual combat aircraft in World War II.

Our new Limited Edition Flying Tigers Fort Knocks pay homage to this revered fighter squadron. Only 500 pairs rolled off the assembly line featuring matte grey arms and frame, silver-mirrored lenses, silver hardware, yellow accents on the nose-bridge and tips, US Air Force-inspired insignia on the arms, and of course, the Flying Tigers’ signature shark face on both temples. Each pair comes protected in a pouch with an all-over cloud print, and a Knockaround / Flying Tigers balsa wood plane completes the set.

sustainability

In 2022, Knockaroud officially became Plastic Neutral—for every pound of plastic we use, we remove one pound from the environment elsewhere. But that’s far from where our sustainability efforts end. We’ve also implemented minimalist, recycled packaging, eliminated single-use plastics, and included recycled materials in our products whenever possible. There’s always more progress to be made, but we’re committed to putting in the work.

Who we are

Sun and San Diego

Born, raised, and bathed in San Diego sunshine, Knockaround is the original, affordable sunglasses brand. Since 2005 we’ve committed to making durable shades that are both practical and stylish. Our stellar customer service and ever-growing selection of high-quality eyewear have made us not just hometown favorites, but go-to’s across the globe!

Plastic Neutral

KNOCKAROUND IS PLASTIC NEUTRAL

Making high-quality shades is the core of what we do, but inevitably that means we contribute to excess plastic byproduct. The idea of being a net drain on the environment doesn’t sit well with us, so we partnered with 4ocean to maintain plastic neutrality and work further to improve the environmental friendliness of our process.
