Stephon Marbury focuses on brand marketing with Chamelo Eyewear
Former NBA star Stephon Marbury is now chief brand officer for Chamelo Eyewear, bringing his marketing savvy to the eyewear industry. Marbury, known for his basketball career and triumphant ventures like the Starbury footwear brand, aims to elevate Chamelo’s profile with unique, tech-forward sunglasses.
Chamelo’s eyewear stands out with its Prismatic lenses, offering users the ability to shift between four diffrent colors in under a second. This technology, coupled with Marbury’s brand marketing expertise, positions Chamelo as a disruptor in the market.
Marbury connected with Chamelo founder Fenghua Li in Hong Kong and quickly recognized the potential. “Within the first five minutes, he showed me the glasses, and I was like, wait — do that again,” Marbury said.
Marbury’s role involves creative marketing initiatives, including a “Knicks Aura” collection and partnerships with figures like former New York Mets star Jose Reyes. Reyes is collaborating with Chamelo on a signature sunglasses line set to launch in 2025. “Their style and lens color-changing technology reminded me of how I used to play,” reyes said.
Marbury’s previous venture, Starbury, offered affordable footwear but faced challenges when its retail partner went bankrupt. He learned the importance of maintaining control over the entire business process. With Chamelo, he plans a strategic pricing model to cater to a wide range of customers.
“What we’re doing is exciting as it’s something new to the world,” Marbury said. “We’ve got Prismatic lenses that shift between four different colors. Nobody’s ever seen that before.”
