Visvim F/W 11.12

[akuma no uta]

I was heavily considering the new kiowa FBT's, which are so dope, but the leather is stiff like the new Lauda's.

But now....

My dreams have been answered. Kudu leather ones.

[pennyoka]

those looks very nice... does anybody know when the patchwork FBT's are going to drop?

[Yom]

got the denim already man,

just confused why it says pre-release on the site - it mentions a one wash and damaged (which were the old ones) along side the other three indigo and corduroy releases..

so that would be great Flex - thanks.

went to my store today

Sendai has them all this weekend (pre-release)

they will be all stores next week

[winstonrodney...]

thanks - so that's the old denim versions re-released and the indigo and cord versions?

You are a gentleman and a scholar - thank you!

[akuma no uta]

Working on contacting proxies to get the new kudu FBT's. Anyone in japan that could even go try them on for me and let me know the sizing?

Did i read the price of YEN 176,400 correctly on the blue virgils in the Sense Scans ?

[striketheclocker]

these are actually true to size. I could have done a sz10 in these. Went for the 10.5 just to be sure, they fit, just a tiny bit roomy. I am a sz11 in all Folk including boots. So, if anything, true to size or a half size big.

how do the veritus fit? true to size ?

MASTERMIND JAPAN x VISVIM – GILA MOC – NOW AT REVIVE

http://revivemi.com/updates/?p=6677

I believe we are the only store in the USA to carry this project. Let me know if you guys are interested! My name is Michael, store manager at REVIVE.

[ruco]

Hey Micheal! Thanks for the spam!

Great deal on those shoes yea? Too bad they're $400 cheaper (w/ proxy+shipping) here. Oh damn - they still have 11's! Maybe you should buy those up.

[akuma no uta]

Yeah, $1,500 is a bit high, considering the normal Gila mocs are only ~$750/ish

[ruco]

Those Birmingham rents aren't going to pay themselves.

[Shortypop.]

I need those Kudu visvim fbts. Anyone know how the sizing is and best proxy to use for these?

[winstonrodney...]

I know i'm going lhamo mad.....

but is this the sendai special (the super expensive one) looks diff to previous pics and like a cross with the denim one?

[akuma no uta]

Theyre all different. It's a vintage African indigo dyed fabric

[emixam]

the FIL Sendai looks gorgeous

Thanks.....bit of a lucky dip if one is proxying then.

[flex]

I've the one-wash.. i had the that vintage African lhamo on my hand once.. it looks nice, yes, is it worth it? no!

[flex]

thanks - so that's the old denim versions re-released and the indigo and cord versions?

no denim version Lhamo in the FIL store. was told that they were all sold out very quickly..and some were sold exclusively to some local celebrities (before they were sold to public)? not sure if it holds true, take it for what its worth.. I got that from the sales person.

my one-wash has become so collectable (lol)

[nomnomnom]

Found a pic on flickr that might add to the lhamo discussion

well?

[SelfEXplanatory]

how do the veritus fit? true to size ?

no idea. should arrive by the weekend, since they are folk I went with 11, and because I hear they folk sizing in footwear is cut a bit smaller/narrow this season...

[Vinneus]

hahahaah! shit... you gotta style that technie colored dream coat!

[kvc06]

technie colored dream coat!

lol this is seriously how you think this phrase is spelled out?

[ruco]

For sure but I always start with a template - grey shirt and jeans. If a piece can get on with that then we're looking good. With that in mind I doubt I'm gonna keep this.

[Vinneus]

hrm... damn u iPhone auto correct for not knowing about that timeless classic. fuckin Steve Jobs.

[lilldavid]

so i guess this is slightly off topic but I'm in the midst of purchasing a pair of bearfoot's. thing is they're sz 8 & I usually go for a sz 9. My other fbt's are sz 9 & they're kinda roomy so i guess i could've gone for an 8 & they'd still be comfortable.

Anyway I recall seeing some comments re. fbt's from the folk line about them running smaller than usually..

So this is my question: If I'm usually a perfect sz 9 in logan's & yucca's, qould I be able to wear a sz 8 bearfoot shaman?

thanks.

[akuma no uta]

No man, opposite for the bear foots. They fit just a bit on the small size. I'm an 11 in almost all visvim, but an 11.5 in the bear foot would be perfect. And that's why I don't own them.
