Summary

  • Oakley Factory Team’s second SS25 drop debuts two colorways of the new Flesh Warp, along with refreshed variants of the classic Flesh model.

Marking the second installment of its SS25 collection, Oakley Factory Team is introducing a new evolution of its alien-like Flesh silhouette, the Flesh Warp. Debuting in two key colorways,  Brain Dead and Oakley show that they aren’t done remixing their favorite model, now manifesting with an asymmetrical lacing system, a custom-built outsole, and a sculpted, full-leather upper.

To herald the new model, Oakley Factory Team starts with a classic greyscale duo, offering “Vaporous Gray” in a light neutral leather and “Black/White,” an all-black silhouette contrasted with the Oakley logo. While representing perhaps the most sneaker-geared design from the collaborators via the laces, leather upper, and stitched overlays, it also sets itself far from tradition with its futuristic shape and bold asymmetry. The final result evokes high-performance design found in specialty equipment for biking and football, most notably in the diagonally placed lacing system.

In conjunction with the updated model, the collaborators reprise the original Flesh with full-grain leather, hairy suede, and translucent Orbital tooling. The Full Grain Leather Flesh is offered in “Lucent White,” while the Hairy Suede Flesh is offered in “Ganache/Burgundy” and in “Sand/Blue,” and lastly, the Orbital Flesh arrives in “Ghost Gray.”

The second drop of Oakley Factory Team SS25 is set for release on June 3 at 10 AM PT at the Brain Dead web store, Brain Dead locations, Oakley’s web store, Miami Oakley Lincoln Road, Milan Oakley Cadorna, Milan Oakley San Babila, London Oakley Covent Garden, Oakley Marina Bay Singapore, Oakley Foothill Ranch, Tokyo Oakley Shibuya, and selected stockists.
