Article One is an independent eyewear company founded in Flint, Michigan by former collegiate runner Wes Stoody. As the principal designer since the first collection launch in 2016, Stoody centers fashion at the heart of his creative process – constantly challenging traditional aesthetics of the performance category.
Article One hand selects independent artisans from all over the world to create its timelessly-styled, innovative optical and athletic transfer collections.
With high-quality materials and high-performance innovation, Article One’s ACTIVE Collection has earned several awards for style and sport function. In 2023, Article One launched its unique partner program, sponsoring professional athlete-advocates and lending decision-making power as a way to support a diverse variety of philanthropic efforts.
