Rapper-Backed Eyewear Campaigns

Action Bronson and Oakley Debut an International Social Campaign

Action Bronson and Oakley paired up to release an international social campaign in the form of a film. Chef and celebrated rapper Action Bronson, in partnership with the well-known eyewear brand, aims to inspire folks to believe in themselves. In celebration of self-expression, the film is titled "Be Who You Are" and highlights sporting superstars Oksana Masters, Patrick Mahomes, Francisco Lindor, Pauline Ferrand-Prevot, and Nigel Sylvester. Bronson narrates the film's encouraging words while the featured athletes are pictured performing their sports.

The short film follows the eyewear brand's recent Oakley Kato release. The eyewear is born from 45 years of disruptive innovation and engineered to shatter the boundaries of sports performances. In addition, Oakley Kato turns to gold with a Prizm 24K lens for increased quality.
