brain dead x oakley factory team cgi on rock

are back on their mutant-maker grind for FW25, reviving the with for a collection that feels like a sci-fi lab test crossed with an off-grid expedition kit. This is Oakley in full experimental flight mode – weird in the right ways, functional in the clever ones.

Footwear leads the charge. The Ibex returns in fresh ‘Coffee’ and ‘Burnt Red’ builds, doubling down on its hybrid DNA: part approach shoe, part tech-trekker. Synthetic suede, ventilated mesh windows, and those flow-moulded cages give it that unmistakable Oakley silhouette – like something you’d find in a desert research bunker. The Flesh Warp twists an early-2000s icon into a modern creature feature, swapping symmetry for swag with full-grain leather editions in ‘Sequoia’ and ‘Blue/Black’, plus a hairy-suede ‘Triple Grey’ that looks like it hatched in outer space.

Eyewear gets just as freaky. The Plantaris is a biomechanical flex, with translucent silicone temples revealing vein-like titanium cores, a removable nose-cone, and a limited Sepia treatment straight out of a nature-coded fever dream. The Straight Jacket 99 resurfaces in X-Silver, flame-etched and futuristic, fitted with Prizm Ruby lenses for clarity that cuts through whatever planet you’re standing on.

FW25 is Oakley going full strange in the best sense, blending wild organic lines with engineered precision. The full collection lands November 14 at via wearebraindead.com, Oakley.com, Oakley stores and select stockists.
