Don’t Sleep on the Oakley Flesh Sandal

During the middle of 2022, news broke that – with the help of multi-disciplinary creative entity Brain Dead – Oakley would relaunch their Factory Team. The goal was to create experimental and innovative products, with Brain Dead acting as the R&D wing of the conceptual sub-brand, and to look for archival silhouettes to resurrect with new and unorthodox solutions. Right off the bat, the team resurrected the sought-after Flesh – a silhouette trending among the social media archival fashion community. Ever since, both the Flesh and Chop Saw have become Oakley’s bread and butter, reinterpreting the Y2K builds in a swathe of different builds. The latest has been dubbed the Flesh Sandal, which is out right now and selling fast.

This Flesh Sandal iteration boasts a similar construction to its OG Flesh producer, albeit hosting a slightly different construction and material composition. The upper has arrived in a broader mix of materials, housing mesh, leather, suede and other synthetic fabrics alongside a sandal detail that sees the middle part opened up. Two colourways of the Sandal have launched already: a full grey and a blue/black iteration – both boasting black midsoles and the usual Oakley branding.

You can cop both colourways of the Oakley Flesh Sandal right now from retailers like Sneakersnstuff.
