Oakley has unveiled the newest chapter of its Players Collection, placing Boston Celtics<\/a> star Jaylen Brown<\/a> and Real Madrid standout Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> at the center of the company\u2019s latest eyewear and sportswear campaign. The collection officially launched Tuesday through Oakley\u2019s online store, select retail locations, and global partners.<\/p>\n The campaign pairs two athletes who continue to expand their influence beyond sports. Oakley described Brown and Mbapp\u00e9 as figures who help shape culture through performance, identity, and community impact.<\/p>\n Brown\u2019s collaboration marks Oakley\u2019s first full sportswear collection tied to the Celtics forward. The NBA<\/a> champion appears in a complete cocoa brown lineup centered around the Oakley Highland Jaylen Brown Signature Series eyewear frame, which includes the company\u2019s trademarked Prizm Ruby Lenses.<\/p>\n The apparel collection includes the Latitude Soar Parka, Reserve Momento Vest, Latitude Veil Tee, Reserve Momento Cargo Short, Reserve Spacer Pants, Meridian Low Ext footwear, Latitude Solar Cap, and Reserve Utility bag. Oakley stated that the collection was designed alongside Brown with a focus on versatility, modular layering, and functionality across both urban and outdoor environments.<\/p>\n \u201cFor me, everything is connected: performance, creativity, identity,\u201d Brown said. \u201cIt\u2019s how you prepare, how you think, how you show up.\u201d<\/p>\n The eyewear retails for $213, while the apparel ranges from $90 for the T-shirt to $470 for the parka.<\/p>\n Oakley Collection Highlights Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s Roots<\/p>\n Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s contribution to the Players Collection centers around his Signature Series Permian eyewear. Oakley designed the glasses with a bold deep-set lens construction and Prizm Road Lenses while also incorporating several personal touches connected to the French soccer star\u2019s background.<\/p>\n The frame includes Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s personal logo embedded directly onto the lens. Oakley also etched the coordinates of Bondy along the temple, referencing the Paris suburb where Mbapp\u00e9 grew up and first developed his soccer career.<\/p>\n \u201cStyle is a signature. These glasses are more than an accessory, they carry my roots, reflect my journey, and define how I move<\/a> forward,\u201d Mbapp\u00e9 said per WWD. \u201cIt starts before kickoff: the way you arrive, the energy you bring, the presence you carry.\u201d<\/p>\n The release continues a growing trend of athletes becoming heavily involved in product design and branding partnerships rather than simply serving as endorsers. Brown\u2019s collection, in particular, places his personal logo across several pieces while maintaining a consistent visual identity through the exclusive cocoa brown palette.<\/p>\n Viral Mbapp\u00e9 Petition Gains Attention Online<\/p>\n The Oakley launch also arrives during a difficult stretch for Mbapp\u00e9 off the field. Over the last several days, a viral \u201cMbapp\u00e9 Out\u201d petition has circulated widely across social media, with reports claiming millions of Real Madrid supporters have signed calls demanding the star forward leave the club.<\/p>\n Some online estimates have placed the total above four million signatures<\/a> in only a few days, Yahoo reports. Still, the numbers remain difficult to verify because the petition website reportedly lacks strong verification systems, making duplicate submissions or bot activity possible.<\/p>\n Despite those concerns, the petition reflects growing frustration among sections of the Real Madrid fanbase after a disappointing finish to the 2025-26 season. The backlash has dominated online discussion surrounding Mbapp\u00e9 in recent days, creating a sharp contrast between the negative attention tied to Madrid and the polished global campaign surrounding Oakley\u2019s newest Players Collection.<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tBurtland Dixon<\/a> Burtland Dixon is a sports journalist covering the NBA and athlete culture for Heavy.com.
