Brain Dead's Oakley Factory Team has unveiled another new collection that features three vintage shoe designs, each of which borrows elements from the brand's archival sneakers: the 'Flesh,' 'Flesh Sandal,' and the 'Chop Saw.'
The seasonal collection reinterprets Brain Dead's 'Flesh' shoe, as well as its 'Flesh Sandal' via new colorways and design elements. For example, the reimagined Flesh sneaker features contemporary characteristics such as all-black, ostrich-style leather uppers. Meanwhile, the new Chop Saw silhouette revives a vintage design from the early 2000s and features a sole with a unique saw tooth structure.
For those interested, the new Factory Team Flesh Pack is set to drop on November 17. However, the Brain Dead x Factory Team Chop Saw won't be abe available to purchase until December 13.
