Fresh off their first drop of the season, Oakley Factory Team and Brain Dead reunited for a second collection, introducing new hues for their new iconic Flesh Warp model. As a successor to their first drop, this latest release continues the style’s innovative shape and unexpected twists. In the past few seasons, Oakley’s releases have been deeply set in constant innovation, introducing new silhouettes that push the boundary of what you’re used to seeing. On the other hand, Brain Dead has contributed its unique style to collaborations with other footwear brands like Adidas. For this second release, the brand has introduced two versatile, contemporary, and timeless shades for all your adventures.

The Flesh Warp, crafted in a full-leather upper and custom-built outsole, is a one-of-a-kind design for the brand that incorporates unique details to the shoe that help it stand out from the rest. The shoe has an asymmetrical lacing system and has hairy suede and translucent Orbital tooling. The two newest shades, Vaporous Grey and Black/White, add versatility to the design that will go with any look and journey. Vaporous Grey is composed of a soft light grey leather, while Black/White sees a full-blacked out colorway for a sleek design with the contrast of a white Oakley logo. The newest shades will hit Brain Dead’s website and retail locations on June 3. The colors will also be available on the same date via Oakley’s website, select Oakley locations, and select third-party stockists.

The Paulin Mara

Independent horology is often times where the most innovative and creative designs are born, and Paulin Watches is one brand that has made the bold decision to redefine the boundaries to leave their own unique take amongst watch aficionados. The Edinburgh-based watchmaker is known for delivering minimalist timepieces that serve up mid-century modernity, but with their latest release, Paulin has made a triumphant deviation from the expected that has surprised insiders and exceeded expectations. The Mara has the privilege of being the first dive watch produced by the brand, a versatile timepiece that walks a steady but fine line between rugged cool and refined elegance. Watch enthusiasts will still find Paulin’s architectural mastery in top form in this model as it lives up to their own high standards. The Mara (Scottish Gaelic for 'of the sea,') is dynamic, robust, and visually stunning – continuing the brand’s evolving narrative and building upon their already illustrious history.
