The Oakley Factory Team has released its Fall/Winter 2025 assortment, which includes new color variations of existing footwear models and a collaborative line of eyewear. The collection is the product of a continued partnership with the design collective Brain Dead. As such, the capsule boasts an aesthetic that merges technical performance with surreal and nature-derived visual themes.
In terms of footwear, the Oakley Factory Team Ibex model is returning in two new colorways — Coffee and Burnt Red. The Flesh Warp silhouette is also making an appearance with its reimagined "asymmetrical lacing system that delivers a snug fit and modern edge."
The eyewear releases for the Oakley Factory Team include the Plantaris and a reissued Straight Jacket model. These models are paired with a proprietary lens technology — the Prizm™ Tungsten lenses and the Prizm™ Ruby lenses, respectively.
