I dont know if anyone here has any, but they look really sick, and are really cheap. I read some reviews, and apparently theyre a bit flimsy, but have good UV protection and scratch proof lenses. Im gettin a pair today, and not to mention theyre really stylish!

Yeah I have a few pairs...I used to buy Oakleys but after losing 2 pairs in a few months decided that I wasn't responsible enough to own expensive sunglasses. Knockarounds are really good value for money, they look great and offer good UV protection. I have owned mine for a few months now and they are still as good as new, I just put them in the bag they came with after each use. Definitely worth the 15-20 bucks for a decent pair of sunglasses.

I got those ones a couple of days ago and they're so epic. They're super sturdy, stylish, and the lenses are dope as hell.

I've had a pair of those, they were great, till the first one got dropped to the bottom of a lake by my ex gf, so I bought the second pair, which later got ran over by my car.

Then I was okay I thought cause I had some EC Holcombs, well those got eaten by a friends dog

so now i squint when i drive

I have two.
Don't bother getting the more expensive pair, they're not as cool as the $14.00 ones.

Glow in the dark sunglasses? Really? Do they come with a flat-brim hat, tanktop with oversized type, and a four loko?

so you killed your girlfriends dog causing her to dump you and while you were leaving her house you ran a pair over only after you realized your ex had the glasses and then she dumped them in a lake?

uh wat

no the first pair i bought, i let her borrow, she lost them. bought another pair, cause I loved them along with some holcombs as a backup, holcombs were way dark so I always used my knocks, they are really good glasses for the price. Then Dropped them by accident without noticing, later running said glasses over in my car. The Holcombs I used for a bit, but my friends dog later ate them, so I decided to not invest in sunglasses.

you should wear sunglasses that fit your face. not because you think they look cool. that comes second.

keep on looking like a dork though.

honestly im pretty disappointed with the shades that just came from these guys.  20 bucks after shipping but they suck, the quality feels like shit, ec head wear feel a lot sturdier for what they cost, and so do most other companies, the 10 dollar pair of vans I had were 5 times better, the fit is a little of on these...end rant sorry for that

if anyone wants a pair of brown brand new shades get at me or I'm going to return them.

It seems that they do not accept returns. From their site:


What is your return policy?
Sorry, Knockaround does not currently accept returns

My boyfriend recently bought two pairs of knockarounds, glow in the dark and black. the lenses are nice, but the frame quality reminds you that you've only paid 14$ for them.

they'd be something i'd purchase if i hadnt purchased a pair of surprisingly high quality frogskins, on the street during a school trip to France, for 4euros.

I have the frosted cobalt/smoke, I really like them and they haven't broke yet (I got them a few weeks ago), the lenses are dark and good uv protection, the only thing ^^ this, the frame quality looks kinda cheap, but hey, they're not that expensive to begin with

I have those, they're sick. You can see me wearing them here

Super high quality. I own the black/moonshine and these are definitely way better build quality. The frames don't feel flimsy at all, and I can wear them inside at night without looking like a huge douche. I definitely recommend them

Yea I have a couple pairs of them you really cant beat the price and they are impossible to break!

You cant really use them as party glasses tho, people can see right through them.

Yeah, I'll be honest...These are probably just as good as frogskins minus the oakley lens and logo. Everytime I wear my frogskins I wonder how a $120 pair of sunglasses could be so flimsy. Knckarounds are definitely worth it if you don't mind not having the oakley script on them.

I have the glow in the dark ones. I mainly have them because I drink too much with sunglasses on and sometimes forget about them at night (I know, it's a small problem).

But mainly I always wanted the Trevor Andrews Frogskin that glow in the dark but it was discontinued....
And since I wanted a cheap pair of frogskin knockoffs why not get them where the glow in the motherfucking dark?
