The college football quarterback will support the brand’s mission to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY) (the “Company”), a lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, today announced a three-year partnership with Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning.

A glasses wearer since age three—and Warby Parker wearer since middle school—Manning has long depended on prescription eyewear to help him see. He embodies the company's forward-thinking mindset and belief that seeing clearly empowers people to live with confidence. With this partnership, Arch will sport Warby Parker’s stylish, high-quality eyewear that fits his lifestyle, both on and off the field.

“As someone who spent their entire life wearing glasses, teaming up with Warby Parker felt like a very natural fit,” says Arch Manning. “They’ve always been my go-to glasses—I have a pair for every part of my life—and their Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program really resonates with me.”

During the Texas Longhorns' first game of the season and Manning’s debut as starting quarterback, Warby Parker will premiere a new commercial and content featuring Manning and his father, Cooper. Over the next three years, this partnership will feature the introduction of new eyewear collections, local Austin initiatives with Warby Parker’s school-based vision program, Pupils Project, and more.

“Arch is an exceptional athlete whose great vision extends beyond the field,” adds Warby Parker co-founder and co-CEO Neil Blumenthal. “He’s been a customer for years, and now we’re excited to officially have him on our team. I can’t wait to see what we accomplish together.”

This is a first-of-its-kind partnership for Warby Parker, and Manning’s first in eyewear. For more information: warbyparker.com/arch-manning.
