Kylian Mbappé is the new testimonial for Oakley
After the agreement with Dior a few months ago, the French stricker will now star in another campaign
January 13th, 2022
Oakley today announced a major new multi-year partnership with French footballer and Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappé. At just 23 years old, Mbappé is already considered a generational talent, with crystalline class both on and off the pitch. But the brand founded in 1975 in Southern California has chosen him not only for what he has achieved so far on the football pitch, but for the person he is once he takes off the uniform. In fact, Kylian Mbappé will be the star of the "Be Who You Are" campaign, a new chapter in which, together with Oakley, the French star looks back at what he has achieved so far, focusing on his personality and spirit, accompanied by his Kato lenses.
Apart from footballing beliefs, Mbappé, like few other footballers, is proof that with hard work and perseverance, any dream can be realised. His talent and determination have brought him to where he is today and to winning great titles such as the World Cup he won as a star player a few years ago. But behind every cup and every personal success is a young man who has worked tirelessly, with passion and humility, to reach the pinnacle of international football, which is why Oakley strongly wanted him to join their team. These thoughts are at the heart of "Be Who You Are", a short film that tells the story of a boy born in the suburbs of Paris and driven by the dream of putting his national team back on top of the world.
