Oakley has never shied away from pushing boundaries, but its latest collaboration goes one step further. The brand has partnered with newly appointed Chief Visionary Officer Travis Scott to resurrect one of its most distinctive designs: the X-Metal Juliet.

Originally introduced in 1999 as one of Oakley’s most radical X-Metal creations, the Juliet quickly became known for its alien-like silhouette and titanium construction. The new MUZM edition doesn’t simply revisit that legacy. Each pair uses a 25-piece assembly of X-Metal, which is a liquid-metal titanium alloy forged under extreme conditions to create a skeletal frame that naturally conforms to the skull. Adjustable temple shocks, interchangeable nosebombs, and contoured orbitals return, now paired with Oakley’s latest Plutonite Prizm Polar lenses for maximum optical clarity.

As part of Oakley’s MUZM programme, which revives archival designs with modern innovation, the Juliet arrives as both a design artefact and a piece of wearable sculpture. Scott personally selected the model as his first official contribution to Oakley, a move that underscores his affinity for bold, technical aesthetics. Each pair includes a serialised collector’s coin and comes in a metal box to reinforce its rarity.

The Prizm Ruby Polar edition was limited to 100 units, available exclusively through a launch-day raffle at Oakley’s Shibuya flagship in late November. Two Cactus Jack versions, finished in Prizm Violet Polarised and Prizm Snow Black, are being distributed only through friends-and-family gifting to mark Oakley’s Tokyo takeover and Scott’s new role. While these may now be found only through resellers, given the momentum, more striking recreations are likely on the way.
