The Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead: A Collision of Design Rebellion and Technical Mastery
The Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead are back this season with another explosive collaboration. This time, they’re blurring the lines between performance gear and art objects with their FW25 collection. Powered by Oakley innovation and conceptualized by Brain Dead, this collection pushes the boundaries of design with experimental silhouettes and cutting-edge materials.
Footwear: The Icons of the Collection
Leading the drop are two iconic styles: the Ibex and the Flesh Warp sneakers. The Flesh Warp boasts a sculptural form and asymmetric lacing system, giving it a warped and organic feel. Its supple leather upper hugs the foot like a second skin. On the other hand, the Ibex redefines outdoor footwear with its molded cage structure, reinforced cording, and Oakley’s O-Grip traction. These shoes are perfect for explorers who refuse to be confined by the boundaries of streetwear and sport. Both styles come in autumnal tones like Burnt Red, Coffee, Triple Grey, Sequoia, and Blue/Black, reflecting Brain Dead’s unique color instincts and Oakley’s performance DNA.
Eyewear: Cult Classics with a Twist
On the eyewear front, two cult classics have been given the Brain Dead treatment. The Straight Jacket 99 returns with flame-etched temples and bold Prizm™ Ruby lenses, paying homage to Oakley’s irreverent Y2K era. The Plantaris takes a more surreal route with its amphibian-inspired design and modular construction. Its Sepia frame and Prizm™ Tungsten lenses blur the line between creature and creation. Both styles feature the Brain Dead logo etched on the frames and come packaged in custom sleeves, solidifying their status as collectible pieces.
A Partnership of Experimentation
For Oakley and Brain Dead, collaboration is all about pushing the boundaries and experimenting. This partnership has evolved into its own unique design language, fusing Oakley’s technical heritage with Brain Dead’s subcultural chaos. The full lineup is now available at wearebraindead.com, Brain Dead retail stores, Oakley.com, Oakley retail and franchise locations, and select global retailers. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of this rebellious and innovative collection.
