SAN DIEGO, CA (June 11, 2018) – Knockaround, a San Diego-based sunglasses company, is excited to announce the release of this year’s official 2018 Shark Week sunglasses. This is Knockaround’s 4th installment of their annual Shark Week collaboration with Discovery. A portion of proceeds from this years’ release will go to Oceana, the leading international conservation organization focused on protecting and restoring the world’s oceans.
.
This year also marks the 30th anniversary of Shark Week, the massively successful week-long programming block on the Discovery Channel, dedicated to the mysterious marine animals. Such a special year for the network demands an equally celebratory design for the limited-run sunglasses. Built on Knockaround’s durable and high-quality Fort Knocks frame style, the 2018 Shark Week sunglasses feature a translucent breakwater blue frame with Great White jaw graphics, silver hardware, and polarized predator red lenses. Every pair comes with a shark tooth microfiber protective pouch and Shark Week 30th anniversary commemorative packaging.

“Partnering with a program as popular as Shark Week to create a unique, fun pair of shades is always a highlight of the year,” said Adam “Ace” Moyer, founder and CEO of Knockaround. “Naturally, as a company based less than a mile from the Pacific Ocean, we jump at the opportunity to help preserve the marine habitat we all share by donating to Oceana.”
.
Matt Littlejohn, SVP Marketing & Communications for Oceana added “Sharks are critical for our seas and marine ecosystems but many species are in trouble and need help. We are grateful for Knockaround’s support of Oceana and our campaigns to help protect sharks and oceans around the world.”
.
Starting Wednesday, June 13th, the Shark Week sunglasses will be available to purchase for $35 on Knockaround.com with $5 from every pair sold going to Oceana. To date, Knockaround has donated over $30,000 to the non-profit to help fund science-based ocean research. Tune into Discovery starting July 22nd for Shark Week 2018, featuring eight days of shark-centric specials that aim to educate about the powerful predators of the sea while clearing up misconceptions.
