California-based lifestyle brand Oakley unveils its “Thermonuclear Protection” capsule collection for spring, developed in collaboration with designer and creative director Justin O’Shea. The retro lineup pays a homage to motocross and ‘90s Californian vibes. The collection offers 22 branded styles including T-shirts, fleeces, pants and outerwear. Details include graphics of cockroaches (the only insect that can survive a nuclear environment), condoms that offer maximum protection, and fiery colors inspired by Oakley’s Iridium lenses. Shot in northern Los Angeles, the lookbook enforces the “Thermonuclear Protection” drive through a creative lens on a motocross track upholding the brand’s off-road anthem for the season.

Browse through the visuals above and head over to Selfridges starting on Tuesday, January 30. The Thermonuclear Protection Capsule Collection will also be available via Oakley’s official site for purchase on Wednesday, February 28.
