Oakley has unveiled the Damian Lillard Signature Series Enigma Ink, a new eyewear model created in collaboration with the basketball star and recording artist who performs as DAME D.O.L.L.A. This product represents the latest evolution of the athlete's ongoing partnership with the performance eyewear brand.
The Damian Lillard Signature Series Enigma Ink silhouette draws creative inspiration from the multiple meanings of ink as it relates to songwriting, tattooing, and business dealings. The frame is offered in two configurations, including a sun version featuring Prizm Brown lens technology for enhanced color and contrast, and an optical version with Oakley Authentic Prescription technology designed for all-day wear. Both iterations share a monochromatic warm brown aesthetic with refined metal accents and feature a discreet DAME D.O.L.L.A. logo etching as a signature element.
