With the third and final drop of FW24, Oakley Factory Team introduces the all-new Ibex silhouette and fresh colorways of the iconic Edge Boot and Flesh Sandal. This latest collection continues the innovative collaboration between Oakley and the creative collective Brain Dead, known for pushing the boundaries of conceptual design and experimentation.
The Ibex is a standout addition to the Oakley lineup, showcasing a futuristic approach to outdoor footwear. Its design features a unique nylon lacing system integrated with a flow-molded exoskeleton that frames the upper. This construction creates a layered texture that provides both structural support and a distinctive aesthetic that sets the Ibex apart from conventional designs.
Performance and functionality are at the heart of the Ibex’s engineering. Featuring Oakley’s signature O-Grip” outsole, the shoe offers exceptional traction on a variety of terrains for adventurers and urban explorers alike. The Ortholite sockliner, combined with a sculpted midsole, enhances stability and comfort, allowing wearers to embark on their journeys with confidence and ease.
