Oakley Factory Team AI25
A Neo-Futurist Dialogue Between Performance, Design and Experimentation
With the AI25 collection, Oakley Factory Team steps into a new chapter of radical expression. More than a seasonal update, AI25 is a statement of intent—an exploration of how performance design can evolve when filtered through experimentation, art, and cultural vision. Once again, the collaboration with Brain Dead acts as a catalyst, reinterpreting Oakley’s pioneering DNA through a neo-futurist lens that feels both organic and forward-looking.
At the core of the collection lies a continuous dialogue between archive and innovation. Footwear and eyewear silhouettes are revisited, reshaped, and pushed beyond their original function, transforming technical products into hybrid design objects.
Redefining Outdoor Footwear: Ibex and Flesh Warp
The Ibex returns in two exclusive new colorways, “Coffee” and “Burnt Red,” redefining what an outdoor shoe can be today. Designed to operate at the intersection of nature and technology, the Ibex balances sculptural aesthetics with advanced performance. The synthetic suede upper is supported by a molded structure and reinforced lacing system, ensuring a secure and precise fit. Breathable mesh inserts enhance airflow, while the O-Grip outsole delivers dependable traction across diverse terrains. An Ortholite insole and sculpted midsole provide lasting comfort and stability, making the Ibex as functional as it is visually striking.
Alongside it, the Flesh Warp evolves from an early-2000s icon into a more assertive and contemporary form. Its bold silhouette is paired with an asymmetric lacing system that merges ergonomic efficiency with expressive design. The model is offered in full-grain leather iterations—“Sequoia” and “Blue/Black”—as well as a refined brushed suede version in “Triple Grey.” Each variation speaks to a different mood while maintaining a cohesive design language rooted in experimentation.
Eyewear as a Living Structure: Plantaris and Straight Jacket 99
Oakley Factory Team eyewear continues the collection’s conceptual narrative, blending sport heritage with Brain Dead’s experimental approach. The Plantaris model draws inspiration from natural systems and organic movement. Its flowing lines branch and reconnect, creating a dynamic visual rhythm. Dual temples end in translucent silicone tips, subtly revealing a titanium core reminiscent of a delicate vascular network. The removable nose pad adds versatility, while the limited “Sepia” edition—equipped with Prizm™ Tungsten lenses—enhances color depth and contrast with exceptional clarity.
First launched in 1999, the Oakley Straight Jacket® remains one of the brand’s most iconic silhouettes. In AI25, it returns in an exclusive X-Silver edition that channels speed, rebellion, and precision. The sculpted frame features flame-inspired lines that pay homage to the original design, while the ultra-lightweight O Matter™ construction ensures comfort and durability. Prizm™ Ruby lenses complete the experience, delivering an intense, high-definition visual performance.
A Unified Vision of the Future
Across footwear and eyewear, Oakley Factory Team AI25 expresses a single philosophy: experimentation as a means to redefine performance. By merging archival references with technical innovation and cultural insight, the collection transcends conventional categories. It is not merely about products, but about process, perspective, and progression.
AI25 stands as a vision of what happens when design dares to evolve—where function becomes form, and performance becomes a language for the future.
