Product details

Description

Inspired by the legendary Fender® Stratocaster™, these Fort Knocks hit every note of cool with their guitar-neck arms and fretboard detailing. Just like a Strat bridges the gap between bluesy lows and screaming highs, these shades blend iconic black and white fronts with a touch of vintage wood grain, mirroring the guitar's timeless body. A Fender® logo on the inside of the arm celebrates the brand’s profound impact on music history. Silver hardware and the iconic Fender logo etched on the lens round at this sweet pair of shades.

Whether you're headlining a festival or just jamming out on a sunny day, these are your go-to sunglasses to rock the look. Let's face it—every music legend needs to shield their eyes from the glare of the spotlight.

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.

Black Stratocaster™ Fort Knocks

In collaboration with Fender®, a titan of the music industry whose instruments have amplified the voices of the world's most legendary artists, Knockaround has crafted a capsule collection of sunglasses that captures the essence of the iconic Stratocaster™. The Fender Stratocaster celebrates its 70th anniversary this year.

Designed on our Fort Knocks frame, these sunglasses are just like the guitar that inspired them: a blend of classic style and forward-thinking design. With sleek lines and curves reminiscent of the Strat's body, and colors that pop like a riff that fills the room, these shades aren't just a nod to music—they're a tribute to the creative soul.

Stay Glare Aware

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses cut glare by filtering out horizontal light waves, like the ones that bounce off water or the road. Without this glare, you’re left with a more gentle view and reduced eye strain, not to mention crisper, cleaner details!

Love Them!

These are my first pair of Knockaround sunglasses & I’m super happy with them. They’re comfortable and my eyelashes don’t hit the lenses. They cover really well so no sun flares creeping in on the sides or top. They are not too tight & don’t squeeze my head either. Possibly a little loose but not sliding down my nose at all. Definitely would recommend!
