In the world of hype drops and limited releases, some streetwear and sneaker brands fly under the radar while consistently delivering the bangers. Brain Dead, Palace, and Oakley aren’t always topping resale charts, but they’ve been shaping sneaker culture, streetwear trends, and collab history in big ways.
Brain Dead
Known for bold graphics, experimental sneaker collabs, and art-driven streetwear, Brain Dead is a must. Their Fairfax flagship store is just a five-minute walk from Solestage Fairfax, making it an easy stop after you check our latest drops. It’s a go-to destination for exclusive apparel and rare sneaker releases.
Palace
This UK skate brand has been in the game for years, dropping premium hoodies, tees, and sought-after sneaker collaborations with adidas, Vans, and Reebok. Palace’s consistent quality and creativity keep it a cult favorite.
Oakley
More than sunglasses—Oakley has dropped innovative footwear and high-fashion collabs with Brain Dead, Piet, and Vetements, blending performance tech with street style.
These brands prove real sneaker culture isn’t just hype—it’s history.
