Rare vintage Oakley Teeth slip-on sneaker in soft grey and mint colorway. This iconic piece represents Oakley's bold foray into footwear design during the late 1990s, combining the brand's signature aggressive aesthetic with innovative construction. The distinctive sculptural upper features flowing, organic lines in a two-tone grey and pale mint green palette.
The most striking feature is the aggressive outsole with signature yellow tooth-like lugs that give the Teeth line its name. These chunky, conical studs provide exceptional traction while creating an unmistakable visual statement. The slip-on construction features an elastic toggle lacing system for easy on/off and a secure, customizable fit.
Crafted from premium synthetic materials with a smooth, almost neoprene-like finish, the upper wraps the foot in a sock-like construction. The padded collar in charcoal grey provides comfort and support, while the yellow pull tab at the heel adds a functional pop of color that echoes the outsole detailing. Subtle Oakley branding appears on the tongue and side panels.
The chunky, sculptural midsole in grey provides cushioning and a distinctive profile that bridges athletic performance and avant-garde design. These represent a pivotal moment in sneaker history when sport brands pushed boundaries into experimental territory.
