Why Shred Shades?
Step into the thrilling journey behind Shred Shades, a vibrant company born from the fiery spirit of a skater, snowboarder, and adventure seeker. With an unwavering love for action sports and the great outdoors, I embarked on this exhilarating path after experiencing my fair share of ups and downs in the world of clothing companies.
There were moments when I contemplated giving up, even when it came to our very own sunglasses. But deep within, I knew that my destiny was intertwined with the action sports industry. So, I persevered. As a small-town kid with no prior business knowledge, I started the slow and steady climb towards shaping Shred Shades into the incredible brand it is today.
In the beginning, sunglasses were merely a means to make a quick buck by reselling affordable shades. However, it didn't take long for me to realize the crucial role sunglasses played in protecting our eyes from the elements. Memories flooded back of my snowboarding days, when I never wore goggles or sunglasses, despising the way they felt. Consequently, I suffered from sunburnt eyes due to the relentless snow glare, and even on cloudy days, my eyes were left scorched.
The epiphany struck me like a bolt of lightning—sunglasses were more than just a fashion accessory; they were vital for eye health. That realization became the fuel that kept us going, refusing to stray from our mission. Shred Shades became synonymous with unrivaled eye protection, ensuring that adventurers and thrill-seekers could pursue their passions without compromising their vision.
Our journey continues to be driven by this unwavering commitment. We remain dedicated to crafting top-tier sunglasses that not only shield your eyes from harmful rays but also elevate your style to new heights. We know firsthand the importance of preserving your vision, and that's why we pour our hearts and souls into every pair of shades we create.
Join us on this never-ending adventure as we push boundaries, explore uncharted territories, and redefine the very essence of eyewear. Together, let's celebrate the union of thrilling action sports and uncompromising eye protection. With Shred Shades, we'll keep pushing forward until our passion knows no bounds.
