The Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead return this season with another collision of design rebellion and technical mastery. It’s one that blurs the line between performance gear and art object. Conceptualized by Brain Dead and powered by Oakley innovation, the FW25 collection continues to expand on their shared universe of experimental silhouettes and boundary-pushing materials. The result are footwear and eyewear that feel both innovative and familiar, bringing early-2000s nostalgia into a new era of protopian design.Leading the drop are two icons: Ibex and the Flesh Warp sneakers. The Flesh Warp’s sculptural form and asymmetric lacing system give a warped, organic feel, while its supple leather upper hugs the foot like a second skin. The Ibex, meanwhile, redefines outdoor footwear with its molded cage structure, reinforced cording, and Oakley’s O-Grip traction—engineered for explorers who see no divide between streetwear and sport. Each style lands in autumnal tones like Burnt Red, Coffee, Triple Grey, Sequoia and Blue/Black, echoing Brain Dead’s off-kilter color instincts and Oakley’s performance DNA.On the eyewear front, two cult classics get the Brain Dead treatment. The Straight Jacket 99 returns with flame-etched temples and bold Prizm™ Ruby lenses, a nod to Oakley’s irreverent Y2K era. The Plantaris, with its amphibian-inspired design and modular construction, takes a more surreal route—its Sepia frame and Prizm™ Tungsten lenses blurring the line between creature and creation. Both arrive etched with the Brain Dead logo and packaged in custom sleeves, underscoring the drop’s collectible status.For Oakley and Brain Dead, collaboration has always been about experimentation. This partnership has evolved into a design language of its own—one that fuses Oakley’s technical heritage with Brain Dead’s subcultural chaos.Shop the full lineup now at wearebraindead.com, Brain Dead retail stores, Oakley.com, Oakley retail and franchise locations, and select global retailers.Click here to view full gallery at Hypebeast

There’s no better time to get started on gift shopping as Jordan Brand, adidas, Converse, Nike, and New Balance have all come together to create an exciting roster of drops this week. Before we dive into which 10 releases you should have on your radar, let’s look back at which sneaker headlines caught our eye last week.Nike Basketball had two high-impact moments: a first look at the low-top version of the Nike Kobe 9 Elite “Perspective” and the unveiling of the G.T. Cut 4. Meanwhile, Jordan Brand officially presented a preview of the Air Jordan 3 “Champagne & Oysters,” which drops later this month in women’s sizing. That’s not all the Jumpman team took on, A Ma Maniére’s Air Jordan 4 “Dark Mocha” was teased while Travis Scott hosted a release event for his new fragment design x Air Jordan 1 Low OG.Elsewhere in the sneaker space, New Balance showed off its low-profile RC56 sneaker in a new “Black/Red” color combination. ASICS is back with another UNAFFECTED-led project, this time offering the Korean brand a go at the GEL-NIMBUS 10.1. Circling back to the Swoosh one last time, Converse announced a restock of Shai Gilgeous-Alexander’s Converse SHAI 001 “Family Pack.”Now that you’re up to speed on what’s been going on in the footwear space, let’s dive into this week’s most notable drops, starting with another Air Jordan 11 anniversary launch.
