Oakley Factory Team is a branch label created by the collaborative efforts of Oakley and Brain Dead -- it first launched back in 2022 highlighting futuristic footwear. Every seasonal range boasts a unique design language with an otherworldly theme. This season, the brand describes the Spring/Summer 2024 series as “An exploration of uncharted territories and vibrant palettes inspired by techno-utopian landscapes.”
The silhouettes are familiar this time around, featuring pieces such as the squishy foam miles and flesh sandals that are joined by newly made sneaker designs. Some of the notable cues for the season include the metallic overlays and pastel tonal palette. A unique material that is spotlighted this season is the use of ostrich leather.
