Inspired by prototypes and Y2K silhouettes, Edge Boot, Chop Saw and Team Fleh relocated in a new digital context.
Oakley Factory Team is the place where Oakley and Brain Dead project their ideas. A research room that mixes prototypes and silhouettes created by Oakley in the 2YK years.
In an AI-generated digital creation environment, FOOTDISTRICT presents a vision of the future in which Nubuck Edge Boot, Chop Saw Mule and Team Flesh mesh their gears with other possible universes.
The Oakley Factory Team Flesh represents a direct bet on the future as it was perceived in the early 2000s. A technologically advanced construction that eliminated the need for laces, a thick, corrugated sole, and a three-point fit to maximise comfort and eliminate distractions.
In its current incarnations, it becomes a subtle sandal, a Cordura hybrid that takes cues from Oakley’s first Kevlar shoe, Shoe One.
The Oakley Factory Team Chop Saw Mule‘s aggressive, punchy features have evolved into a clog from an original shoe from the early 2000s. A showcase of Oakley Factory Team nonconformism, with neoprene, rippled soles and textural play taken by mechanical projection.
The sleek grays of the Oakley Factory Team Nubuck are built from the EVA base of the Chop Saw and surround it with a structure that delivers comfort and performance on a serrated sole that grips the ground with precision.
This time, real-world experimental concepts were inserted into a manufactured contrast-rich environment. The new Oakley Factory Team collection is now available at FOOTDISTRICT.
