Oakley Launches Future Genesis and a New Brand Aesthetic
Oakley introduces a revamped brand aesthetic and creative perspective with the launch of Future Genesis. The campaign sees the popular brand unveiling two short films that revisit the world introduced in the original 1992 film 'Max Fearlight.' The films illustrate the interplay between past and future, emphasizing a protopian stance and showcasing the transformation of Max Fearlight, representing the past, and his daughter Maxine, symbolizing a protopian future. The narrative introduces purpose-driven products, such as the virtual concept Medusa which Max is seen wearing. Medusa is "a legacy product reimagined as a digital concept to fit his pursuits in a virtual world." The films also boast the real-world 13:11 sunglasses, which are inspired by Maxine.
The introduction of Future Genesis marks the initial phase of upcoming releases, coinciding with Oakleys 50th Anniversary.
