The MUZM X-Metal Juliet silhouette is reborn under the brand’s new Chief Visionary.
At a time when Y2K nostalgia coexists with the contemporary obsession with extreme engineering, Oakley brings back one of its most radical pieces. A revival curated—literally hand-picked—by Travis himself, who chooses it as his first step since joining the team.
Considered for decades as a symbol of aesthetic and technical experimentation, Juliet sunglasses are back under the MUZM umbrella, the line dedicated to reviving and reinterpreting the most disruptive artefacts from the Oakley archive. And they’re doing it in a big way: with a hyper-limited launch, available only at the Shibuya store.
But to understand the magnitude of this comeback, we need to go back to when these glasses were first created. Their frame is made up of 25 pieces of X-metal, a liquid titanium alloy moulded under extreme conditions, resulting in an organic, almost biomechanical structure capable of adapting to the skull with millimetre precision.
Added to all this are details that, even today, are still considered futuristic: shock-absorbing temples, an adjustable frame, interchangeable nose pads and Plutonite Prizm Polar lenses that maintain the geometric clarity of XYZ Optics.
