Imperial Mai Tais
Purple has often been associated with royalty, and that’s certainly how you’ll feel in our Imperial Mai Tais. Glossy translucent purple frames are set against polarized smoke gradient lenses and are a clever mix of beach casual and pinky-up sophistication. Mai Tais are instantly recognizable from their rounded silhouette that suits square and heart-shaped faces, and they’re just as unique and desirable as their namesake. Safety is always included in Knockaround sunglasses; enjoy UV400 protection and impact-resistant lenses.

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 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!

Who we are
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!
Committed to Sustainability
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.

This is my second pair as I misplaced my last one and they are my favorite! There's enough color to not be boring black but not so much that they clash with my fits.

My friend has these and I asked where she got them. She told me about your site and I ordered them. The color is what first attracted me, also that there polarized and light weight. Glad that I got them.

These are my fourth pair of Knockaround sunglasses. I still have all 4 and switch off. They are so well made and really work well shading the sun.
