Jassim Basaria: Meet the Man Behind Ryan Lochte’s ‘REEZY JEAH!’ Glasses

Jassim BasariaThe world quickly learned just about everything there is to know about Ryan Lochte during the Olympic Games in London this summer. On top of being a gold-medal swimmer, he’s a heartthrob, a goofball and his fashion sense is very unique to say the least.

Take for instance the colorful plastic glasses going for $14.99 a pair on his website that have phrases on them that read “LOCHTE 2012,” “REEZY JEAH!” or “LOCHTE JEAH!” The swimmer wasn’t allowed to sell them or promote them during the Olympics per Rule 40, but they were hot items for fans before The Games, and are even more in demand now after racking up five medals this summer.

But where did these funky shades come from?

Meet Jassim Basaria, a 24-year-old graduate from the University of Central Florida.
