Summary

  • The iconic silhouette returns in a 25-piece titanium alloy construction
  • Travis Scott curates the hyper-limited release complete with a serialized collector’s coin
  • Available exclusively via an in-store lottery at select Oakley stores on July 24

Oakley has officially announced the return of a legendary archival silhouette: the Oakley MUZM X-Metal Juliet Prototype. Hand-selected by Travis Scott, the limited-edition reissue bridges the brand’s early-aughts design ethos with today’s material innovations, dropping exclusively at select Oakley stores on July 24.

Through the MUZM program, Oakley has continuously celebrated the most disruptive designs in its history, elevating them from performance gear to collectible, wearable art. The Juliet, originally a staple of late ’90s and early 2000s techwear and cinema, defined a distinct era of futuristic eyewear silhouettes. Partnering with its first-ever Chief Visionary, Travis Scott, the brand fulfills its pursuit of performance eyewear with Scott’s distinct artistic influence, bridging the gap between archive lore and modern hype.

The physical object is Oakley’s latest initiative in heavy-duty optical engineering with a frame constructed from a 25-piece blend of liquid-metal titanium alloy, forged under high heat to create an adjustable structure that fits comfortably around the skull. The chassis is loaded with technical hardware, including temple shocks and interchangeable nosebombs, while the contoured orbitals house pure Plutonite® Prizm™ Ruby Polarized lenses designed to retain the precise geometry of XYZ Optics®.

Adding to the allure of the special release, the packaging matches the industrial feel of the specs. Arriving in a custom Limited Metal Box, each pair is serialized and accompanied by a matching collector’s coin, cementing its status as an rare piece of eyewear history.
