With the 2022 FIFA World Cup taking place in just a few days, Oakley presents its new collection made with the help of athlete Kylian Mbappé. The new Kylian Mbappé Signature Series Deadbolt marks a stylish and radical design that highlights his birth year, which is notably the same year that France had hosted and won the World Cup.
Now, the collaborative design is available for purchase and it has a limited-edition range of only 1998. It boasts an everyday style that is detailed with a vintage flair due to the touches of gold seen on the edges of the lenses. Elsewhere, it has black lenses and blacked-out frames as well for a sleek and stealthy look.
