It features the reworked silhouettes of the OG Old Skool LC, the OG Half Cab LX, the OG Authentic LC, the OG Slip-On LX, and the OG Lampin LX in the new range. This time, the two deliver two different approaches to the classic shapes as the OG Authentic LC and the OG Slip-On LX have a reworked update of the signature checkerboard pattern along with the head logo that is true to Brain Dead.
