  1. Vinneus- there was a ton of photos from fashion week so I thought it's a good starting point. Some of these photos are much better than low-quality Sense scans we usually see

    Also- why do you think it's not happening? There were already some WMV Elms lookbook photos, it's hard to believe they wouldn't drop in menswear line as well

  2. ...and yet everyone here buys and sells them for around $750-$800 at this forum. The market determines the value.

    Master sold his for around $700 shipped if I'm not mistaken and they were the Kudu version.

    Since you were so eager to buy the Grizz for 30-40% lower price, go ahead and pull the trigger.

    I don't want to mess up this thread so I guess that's the end of the discussion from my end.

  3. Yes, this is an obvious case of discrimination against asians. Or maybe mankind altogether

    But seriously- I don't care about your pricing, but I do get it that it creams some guys' corn around here- and yes, you can buy these items for significantly less. Matter of patience..

    As for 30-40% off for Grizzly- not to look far, eyeofbeholder is selling his Grizz for around $750 if I'm not mistaken.

  4. I'd say they are legit. The color of leather patch at sole has been changing throughout the seasons, most recently Visvim sticks to undyed/tanned leather patch, but earlier there were differen't colors of it (I've seen a pair with a white patch for instance). And these are obviously quite old (patch at the tongue) so I wouldn't judge by just that leather patch.. Also some soles had the the small circular rubber parts in navy color.

    -edit- inspect te plastic heel element. Fakes usually have the same heel element for all models (and these differ, Patricians/Virgils have a different heel element than smaller shoes like yucca, hockney or maliseet; "Visvim" lettering at this element tells the story).

  5. I t hink you are referring to this one?

    That was FW09-10 release if I'm not mistaken.

    I'm after the FW12-13 one mainly because of the marble-like, uneven leather color. I'm not even sure if the FW12-13 leather differs from FW09-10 leather used for Elm, but I do know that I like the look of the FW12-13:

    More photos of FW12-13 if someone wants to take a look:

  6. Winston- any idea what will be the leather used for the Elms? Same as FW12-13 Italia A2 Elms? I think the burgundy one from FW12-13 is the best one ever, so if this is being re-released, I'm sold.

  7. Ok, it's a natural dye. If so- sorry for that, however my argumentation still holds- Kano can be Natural Dye, but it doesn't have anything to do with Visvim "signature" Natural Dye cords. They don't behave as the "Natural Dye" signatured  V cords- they don't fade anywhere as nicely as the ND ones (they fade just as any regular V cords). I've had a pair of used Kano ones and seen numerous others- the ND ones are dyed unevenly due to the nature of the dye used (Kano are uniform- at least all the ones I've seen) and they fade very easily giving unique, much nicer look (again, Kano behaves much more like "regular" cords - don't bleed that much and don't fade that easily). You used "Kano Natural Dye" name which was a bit misleading for me- and probably for others, because if you are after ND cords, Kano aren't an option and that's the point.

  8. I'm not a Vis god. I follow logic- the retail price of Kano cords is almost twice smaller than Nat Dye cords. So how on earth could they possibly be naturally dyed, which a labourious, time consuming endeavour? Not to mention they don't even look like nat dye cords dude. And if 'Kano' were nat dyed, this would mean that Kano Artifacts are nat. dyed as well, which isn't the case. I understand you want to sell push your stuff but don't BS people.
