Oakley Factory Team

What happens when you mix one of the most exciting art and fashion collectives on the scene today, with one of the most impactful sport and lifestyle brands of all time – you get magic. Debuting back in 2022, Oakley, and art collective Brain Dead came together to create Oakley Factory Team, a cutting-edge R&D division focused on operating within the highest layers of conceptual design, and experimentation. For their first release, the secretive sub-label dove deep into the Oakley archives to return the Suede Flesh, a novel sneaker that blends luxe leather with a fitted neoprene bootie for a trail-ready, striking look. As its brand identity continued to find its footing, the team continued to revamp classic Oakley looks through a distinctly Brain Dead creative lens with novel materials, and colorways.
