Daily Paper x Oakley: Djibril Cissé Reignites the Gascan Legacy
Daily Paper, the Amsterdam-based fashion brand known for its diaspora storytelling, has joined forces with pioneering performance eyewear giant Oakley. The French icon Djibril Cissé fronts the campaign. This new collaboration boldly reimagines Oakley’s iconic Gascan frame — blending streetwear, sport, and Afro-Futurism into one statement drop.
For years, Daily Paper has paired looks with Oakley glasses. Now, that visual nod has grown into an official partnership, launching on July 4, 2025. This drop merges Oakley’s technical legacy with Daily Paper’s community-first approach — a bridge between past and future, calling on the next generation to lead change from within.
The Iconic Gascan, Reborn
First released in the early 2000s, the Oakley Gascan turned heads with its sharp edges and bold high-wrap shape. It was Oakley’s first lifestyle frame to ditch soft curves in favour of a fearless toric lens design.
Now, Daily Paper has given the silhouette an Afro-Futuristic spin. This new edition keeps Oakley’s signature performance DNA intact while adding Daily Paper’s visual language — inspired by community, heritage, and the global youth movement. The result? A limited-edition piece that fuses function and fearless streetwear, made for rule-breakers redefining style and identity.
Djibril Cissé Leads the Charge
Fronting the campaign is none other than Djibril Cissé — the French football icon as famous for his boundary-pushing style as for his moves on the pitch. Known for his individuality and fearless self-expression, Cissé perfectly embodies this collab’s spirit.
Years ago, back in 2006, Cissé was part of Oakley’s story. Now, he returns through Daily Paper’s creative lens, bringing new meaning to movement and confidence. He stands where sport, fashion, and identity collide — showing that heritage and innovation go hand in hand.
A Nod to Community: The RSLV
Beyond the public release of the Gascan, Daily Paper x Oakley are dropping a special surprise. A limited edition of Oakley’s bold RSLV frame will be gifted exclusively to friends and family of the brand. This wide-fit frame with its sleek cylindrical lens is designed for maximum presence and performance.
Complete with Oakley’s signature Prizm Lens Technology and Unobtainium earsocks, it promises clarity and comfort without compromise. It’s Daily Paper’s way of giving back to the community that’s shaped its journey from day one.
A New Chapter for Streetwear and Sport
Daily Paper x Oakley isn’t just another collab. It’s a tribute to the past and a bold look at what’s next. With Afro-Futuristic energy, fearless style, and Djibril Cissé leading the way, this drop shows how sport and streetwear can collide to build something new — together.
