Brain Dead and Fox Lab Bring ‘90s Southern California Moto Culture Into a 17-Piece Summer Capsule

Summary

• Fox Lab and Brain Dead have launched a 17-piece summer capsule collection
• The collection assigns three artists distinct graphic briefs: Antonio Aiello applies a faded ‘90s internet-era treatment to the fox head on graphic tees, Alex Petty brings cyber-inspired graphics to the long-sleeve jerseys, and Alehsy Lambo covers a cotton longsleeve in airbrushed wildstyle lettering
• Ken Roczen wore a special graphic kit from the collection at the Round 15 Philadelphia Supercross on April 25, winning the race on a mud-filled track and ultimately claiming the 2026 AMA Supercross Championship

Fox Lab and Brain Dead have launched its 17-piece Summer 2026 capsule collection. The collab applies Brain Dead’s collective of artists and designers to Fox Racing’s ‘90s Southern California moto heritage, translating the kinetic energy of that era into a punk-inspired graphic language across shirts, jerseys, padded pants, nylon twill jackets, denim pants, and washed cargo shorts.

The collection’s graphic program is its most deliberate creative decision, and it is divided across three artists whose practices are distinct enough that each piece carries a different visual register. Antonio Aiello applies a faded ‘90s and early internet-era treatment to the classic Fox fox head on the graphic T-shirts, giving the iconography a worn, nostalgic quality that reads as archival rather than retro. Alex Petty, a tattoo artist and graphic designer, brings cyber-inspired graphics to the long-sleeve jerseys, pushing the collection’s palette into a vibrant, kinetic direction that references the early digital aesthetic of moto culture’s peak era. Alehsy Lambo, whose multidisciplinary practice is rooted in street racing, autobody tuning culture, and airbrush art, covers the entirety of a cotton longsleeve with high-energy wildstyle lettering that transforms the fox head into abstract insignia. Three artists, three graphic approaches, one source material subjected to entirely different treatment by each.

The functionality brief runs underneath all of it. Ratchet closures, webbing belts, and cargo pockets are built into the collection’s construction, keeping the outdoor performance DNA of Fox Racing’s racewear present even as Brain Dead’s graphic language pulls the pieces toward fashion. Padded pants, nylon twill jackets, and breathable jerseys extend the range across conditions and contexts, giving the 17-piece lineup a practical breadth that the collection’s moto inspiration demands.

The Ken Roczen moment gives the collection a competitive history before it even hit shelves. Fox Lab had the 2026 Supercross 450 SX champion wear a special graphic kit from the collection at the Round 15 Philadelphia race on April 25, a day that saw Roczen win the race on a rain-soaked, mud-filled track and set himself on a path to claiming the full 2026 AMA Supercross Championship. The collection launching on June 12 carries that win with it. A Brain Dead Studios Theater pop-up on the same day screens Fox Racing’s Terrafirma series from the 90s, the foundational footage that documented the pioneering era of freestyle motocross, racing, and culture that the collection draws its entire visual brief from.

The Fox Lab x Brain Dead Summer Capsule is available now online and in-store.
