Brain Dead has mastered collaborations. It's that simple – time after time, the global collective has proved its metal, delivering some of the best co-creations that the industry has to offer; and it's showing no signs of slowing to a halt. Next up, it's tapping back into the Oakley archive for a four-piece eyewear banger of a collection.

The coming together of Oakley and Brain Dead might be the best thing since sliced bread. We have no idea where their knocking of heads came from, but we're deadly glad it happened.

Slipping under the guise of Oakley Factory Team, this duo has made archive surfing an art, digging through the crates to revive the 90s. We all love nostalgia, and these two have nailed tugging on it.

While we've become accustomed to their footwear efforts over the past few months – a category that Brain Dead seems incapable of failing at, as per its recent ASICS team-up – the narrative changes as we approach Spring/Summer, as the pair focus on eyewear.

When you think of Oakley, you think of sunglasses, and the next drop from Brain Dead x Oakley is performance sunglasses at their absolute peak.

Conceptualized using two of the baddest frames in the Oakley catalog, the Radar EV Path and Plazma, the "Rare Metals" team-up is dosed-up on color, resulting in four statement pieces.

Available online from March 14, the four-piece drop includes the Plazma Green with Prizm Sapphire, Plazma Orange with Prizm Violet, and the same two treatments on the fan-favorite Radar EV Path. Pure class.
