Product details
Description
“Ground to cockpit… Clear to start… The Flying Tigers going into action.”
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.
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!

Committed to Sustainability
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.
