OUR STORY
Hey! It's Ace from Knockaround!
2025 marks our 20th anniversary! It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since I started this whole operation in a small art studio on the campus of UC-San Diego.
What began as a simple idea has grown into a global community that values creativity and adventure. Thanks to your support, we've expanded from a quirky sunglasses company run by an art student to a full-blown, global eyewear brand.
Your support—whether it was an order for your first pair a few months ago or your 80th—have shaped our journey. This anniversary year, we're excited to celebrate with Limited Edition re-releases, cool collaborations, and lots of fun.
Here's to 20 years—Cheers!"
-Adam “Ace” Moyer, Founder
we've managed to stick around by being the best affordable sunglasses company with creativity built into our soul.
