NFL athlete Patrick Mahomes works in collaboration with Oakley on a new collection of eyewear that is showcased in a special campaign video. The upcoming Signature Series collection and campaign are dedicated to his daughter along with the upcoming generation of athletes. The video sees the athlete offering advice on staying true to oneself by focusing on loyalty, passion, and grit, encouraging those to follow their dreams and "Step into the Spotlight."
Speaking about the new campaign, Mahomes states, "Shooting this commercial with my daughter, Sterling was an extremely memorable experience [...] It’s rare that I get to bring her to work with me, so having her be part of our story with Oakley is something I’ll never forget. Not only is this project meaningful because Sterling is included, but I am also able to share my message to her with other future stars – including my sister Mia who is also featured in the spot."
