OAKLEY® AND PATRICK MAHOMES II LAUNCH NEW VIDEO SPOT DEDICATED TO HIS DAUGHTER AND THE NEXT GENERATION OF ASPIRING ATHLETES

Today, Oakley® and Patrick Mahomes II announce a new video spot in tandem with the brand’s fourth season as the official on-field partner of the NFL. While previewing his upcoming Signature Series Collection, MVP Patrick Mahomes stars in the campaign video, alongside his daughter Sterling, as he encourages the next generation to follow their dreams and Step into the Spotlight.

The short video begins with Mahomes reading to his “#1 pick” and showcases never-before-seen footage of Sterling, Mahomes’ daughter, as she is featured in her first video campaign. As the Kansas City Chiefs’ quarterback gives a new meaning to story time, he offers fans and aspiring athletes advice on how to stay true to yourself and Be Who You Are. Focusing on grit, loyalty, and passion, Mahomes is not only speaking to his daughter, but also the future stars of sport and telling them to go after their dreams and to Step into the Spotlight.

The video spot can be viewed HERE.

“Shooting this commercial with my daughter, Sterling was an extremely memorable experience,” says Mahomes. “It’s rare that I get to bring her to work with me, so having her be part of our story with Oakley is something I’ll never forget. Not only is this project meaningful because Sterling is included, but I am also able to share my message to her with other future stars - including my sister Mia who is also featured in the spot.”
