For those that might be interested in the commodore, I found a good deal in size large on yahoo japan. I would have bid if I didn't order mine last week for full retail.

Does anyone know if the new Visvim Virgil in the light brown colorway is the same as this, which was released: http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-lw8sKIh620/TQDVJ7rv_rI/AAAAAAAADIA/m7l3CQz--CY/s1600/visvim-folk-fil-kyoto-virgil-closer-look-1.jpg

Can't really tell from the pics.

Thanks in advance!

No, it has a different sole, or do you just mean the color?

By the way, Yom, did you get the current issue (Feb) of "GQ JAPAN" mag? There's an interview with Hiroki Nakamura and the preview of some 11ss items.

[Yom]

[Playahater]

Fuck yeah Yom!

[Yom]

no probs

its not much im afraid

boots back right and middle back look nice

[Playahater]

Better than nothing.

Looks solid although bright orange boots is weird.

Btw if anyone is looking for some FBT Classics, Sand, size 9.5 (although they fit anywhere between a 10 - 11) drop me a PM.

[narutofan]

props yom! you always have us covered with scans, haha

when I looked at that ad, I instantly thought of ordo's montages. I love ordos work, but that ad looks a bit out of place..

I really hate the way visvim is being presented of late in japan,there is this odd JP obsession with western models and it just dosent sit right,they all look like they are in costume,for me its a dis service to the time and effort that is placed in to these products. it makes the line look like something form any number of 'poppy' jp/euro brands it never feels luxuary.Visvim looks its best presented on Hiroki as simply he communicates his vision 100% or shot neatly as still life where the product is the focus of the image.

[Yom]

Gotta agree ^^

the guys that work at FIL make visvim look sooooo much better than any of these guys

[Peter North]

That suede bomber is pretty nice looking.

[8Figures]

Damn.. so did Hiroki raise the prices again?

[Yardsale]

[FrugalPlayer]

i'm liking the chukka type boots in the front but why do they have to stick on that stupid tassle like thing on the back? totally kills it for me

[halberdklown]

Would anyone know where i can find info, like detail pics, leather info, etc on the elmendorfs? So far I couldn't find anything more that stock pics and what I found on rirawin's blog. If anyone can find anything on that burgundy one, too that would be great!

replace "models" with "culture" and you pretty much have japan down. it probably doesn't sit right with you because you're seeing western culture refracted through the rose tinted glasses that people with a yen (ha) for other cultures always have.

I agree 100 percent with this. The products are being represented to the point of parody — it feels as though its utterly antithetical to everything that stands behind the products as well as what is even evident at quick glance.

I can't understand the retarded models either. Makes no sense, aesthetically and for brand identity.

Ok he ain't doing what many 'streetwear' brands do and use the shop staff for modelling - NBHD, BlackFlag, Tenderloin, Supreme. But atleast do something that relates on some level - Kapital, even Bape.

All those guys look like shit. Hiroki looks lost in that photo.

I wasn't even happy with the Sense shoot from last season but it grew on me.

Was sayin' to a homie they should just do an entire shoot with Eric Clapton and be done with it.

[NeGeurra]

^^like the eric clapton idea.

Agreed 100%.
