I wear mine with Jays, so the fabric of the Nike Fleece seems to have a bit more volume than those isaoras
They do kinda have the same features as the nikes though.
I kinda like the balmain ones, but due to the popularity of those, it's kinda too played out ATM. Will prolly be cool to rock em in 10 year time lol

What leather are they using at the bottom of the 20L? Not sold from the pics, as far as the material is concerned. Looks kinda delicate and less durable than the suede ones they used last year.
The varsity jacket color looks good, might pick that up as soon as there are more pics of it shown.

Yes its true HK prices for Visvim at least still cheaper than anywhere else outside Japan and cheaper than in the West.
Do they have the 20L backpack in black color, and if so how much? Im thinking of getting those.

Every third person is wearing a huge wide brim hat at the moment.
Inspired by this?:

Some proxy are 5-6% too, so it might end up cheaper than that price. Thing is, most of the popular sizes and items are bought by all these HK resellers.

Yeah, I can agree to your points. Though most of the Lambo driving guys are usually wearing LV, Gucci and shit. And the ones who are usually wearing visvim, NBHD etc are the MTR riding average folks.
Most of the resellers usually buy from FIL Japan and sell in HK it seems, considering the price gap between FIL HK and FIL JP.

In Hong Kong for 3 days if anyone needs any FIL pick ups.
How much would a christo sandals run over there?
So whats the purpose of them opening up over in HK if its cheaper to get a proxy to pick up items from Japan. HK is supposed to be tax free, but then again, a lot of brands like CH is doing the same thing, where its cheaper to get stuff in the US with tax than its in HK which is supposedly tax free.

*Increase weight, while lowering BF to 6 or 7%.
*Increase balance in bank acc, while keeping my shopping at the same rate. Hopefully even more.

My vote currently would be August Ames, since it's August now and she reminds me of Cindy Crawford for some reason, except with more tits.

I was trying to browse this thread subtley at work the other day when the whole pics of Max's start to load. Thank God my finger was quite fast to close down the window despite using a semi old, lagging in response computer. Damn Max, no offense but I think you gotta start your own thread if it means to you that much, as you can see this is only for the straight guys section. It's bade bought that I have to constantly see that annoying gif of American apparel dude in undies on the right whenever I browse sufu.

Albacore pattern looks weak this season.
And not feeling the whole classic Americana for this particular season, kinda get a 90s Replay vibe with the whole thing despite me trying not to.
Hopefully more pics and details will change my mind.

FBT
Dissertations
Moccasins are traditional slipper-like leather shoes that have been worn by Native Americans for hundreds of years. The design of moccasins varies by geographical location, tribe, and time period, but the basic construction has remained relatively unchanged. While modern-day footwear is typically made up of a separate upper material and outsole, moccasins are cut from a single piece of deer or elk leather, often brain-tanned, that comprises both the upper and outsole material, and is typically stitched above the instep (referred to as a 'gathered toe') and down the heel with sinew.Despite the seemingly primitive construction, these shoes are highly utilitarian, and helped Native Americans keep their feet from freezing during the harsh North American winters. The ankle flaps seen on some moccasins that at first glance seem superfluous can actually be flipped up and wrapped around the ankle for additional warmth. For tribes living in the coldest regions, rabbit fur or sheep skin was added as an insular lining. Although moccasins do not possess typical outsoles, tribes that lived in desert areas often used thick pieces of hardened leather on the bottom of their moccasins to protect from rocks or cacti, while tribes located near forested areas were able to wear soft-soled moccasins for use on the primarily grassy terrain.Vamps (an additional piece of leather on top of the instep) allowed for even more design freedom. Beading, embroidery, and porcupine quillwork were common techniques used for decorating moccasins, and by looking at a pair of moccasins, one could tell what tribe someone was from, a person's economic status, and even the gods that a person worshiped.Zoomorphic designs, such as buffalo or thunderbirds, were common, as well as abstract symbolic designs. Fringes on ankle flaps were seen as primarily aesthetic, although some argue that the fringes, which hung low and dragged on the ground, functioned as a way for the wearer to cover his or her tracks in the dirt.Moccasins had developed both a stylistic and functional appeal over the years that had crossed over Native American borders and spread to all corners of the globe.***
At the age of 17, I was discovering the same functional benefits and beauty in the shoes that Native Americans had worn for centuries before me. They were unlike any shoes I had ever worn before: an upper that covered the foot and wrapped around the whole outsole area, made from natural tanned elk leather that was incredibly soft and well-aged from years of wear. This particular pair that I was wearing were already modified for city life with an add-on rubber outsole; like the plains and desert dwelling Native Americans who had added an extra layer of hard leather to the bottom of their moccasins, I had learned that a rubber sole is an absolute necessity for someone living in an urban environment.There was a great deal of excitement when the FBT was released over ten years ago, but my team and I have never stopped trying to improve upon the original design. While the outward appearance of the shoe - a leather moccasin-inspired upper with a removable fringe, combined with a sneaker outsole - has not changed, many of the materials have been upgraded. The midsole is now made from polyurethane and the outsoles for certain models are custom made by Vibram. Pigment-free, natural tanned leather uppers are used to make sure that the material does not irritate one's feet, while a natural cork insole molds to the wearer's foot over time. Feet, and by extension, shoes, bear more of a daily burden than any other part of the body, so it is crucial that anything that touches the feet should be made of extremely breathable, natural materials.For us, the FBT is very symbolic. Our original goals were to make products that are long lasting, that age well with time, and that have staying power in the market. The FBT is an embodiment of all these things, but it also serves as an inspiration for my team and I to continue to pour all our energy into the development of new, groundbreaking products.Years later when I founded visvim, I wanted to introduce a groundbreaking product that the market had never seen before. What I thought of was to create a shoe with a classic silhouette that paid homage to the vintage items that had inspired me from my youth, paired with a modern, highly technical sneaker outsole suitable for modern day wear.The basic concept was fairly simple: to keep the raw appearance of Native American moccasins, but with the added functionality of being wearable in the city. Being suitable for city life entailed more than just adding a sneaker sole; I was also concerned with the styling of the shoe, and the ability to mix and match with different outfits. This is where the idea of a removable fringe was born. I spent quite some time with my pattern cutter perfecting the silhouette of the shoe, both with and without the fringe, because it was important for the new creation to be stylistically versatile. To maintain the feeling of the original Native American moccasins, I decided to use natural tanned elk hide for the upper material. A sneaker outsole, combined with EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) phylon midsoles and a TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) heel stabilizer added modern performance elements.source : visvim.tv2 -
Have you ever considered the possibility of maybe because your sales thread and posts in general is neg worthy?

Fycus, ken shinoda, emixam, I appreciate the responses. I've seen size 12s before, but again that was last fall. I guess my issue is I'm not subscribed to their mailing list. That would probably help me catch releases.
Long shot, but I guess there's no well-known Japan proxy that does in-store pickups at FIL?
There are a few HK based resellers that usually buy stuffs from FIL retail shops and sell em online like concept, human behaviour and not sure bout vision store since its pretty new. You can shoot em an email and ask.
