Visvim F/W/S 2006-2007

[mr fluffernutter]

wtf, why are the new "logans" half cabs and not skate hi's? someone explain please! are the tongues fat?

it's to avoid lawsuit, if visvim keeps changing the product names vans won't be able to sue for infringment... it's one of those sneaky legal things but it's worked so far

[herpsky]

"half cab" = logan mid

"sk8 hi" = logan high

[sneakerz 101]

how much are the fbt neons in Union?

[CityHunter]

I'm fairly certain they were like $228...but long sold out last I checked.

[Felix]

pure sex...somebody hook me up

[jf30]

^ Same sentiments, does anyone know if they have been released at the Hong Kong F.I.L. yet? or if/when they will be released?

[mike lowrey]

other japanese retailers than FIL also have them, so I guess hk might have them too.

grabbed a pair of whites yesterday

[Felix]

oh my god you stupid fucking piece of shit...i hate you so much right now!!

edit: and i'm going to kick you in the nuts for that in Berlin

[jl3969]

nah, theyre not in at HK FIL yet. leather fbts are dropping on saturday this week. logan mids probably next week or maybe one more.

hopefully I.T. doesn't jack the price up too high.

How they fit compared to other vsvm models?

[corned beef]

christ those whites are delicious. slightly off-white tone is just doing it for me. Must....have.

dont get me wrong i like some of visvims stuff, but anything that seems like a direct rip

their take on half cabs, chucks and sk8-his seems like an utter waste of time and money

i mean id rather have 8 pairs of half cabs in all colors that one supposedly superior pair

im okay with the FBTs and ancesctors though

[mike lowrey]

I odnt have them yet so couldn't tell about fit, sizing or quality, but what goes the general comparison between visvim and the shoe models they're copying, I'd say they're superior in every way.

for example kiefers vs chucks, the soft leather on the kiefers mimics the soft canvas feels on converses, but feels a hell of a lot nicer. it also seems very durable, mine are black though but they look very good after significant wear, no sign of wearing out even though its extremely soft. they also feel more comfortable and slightly more sturdy than the canvas. and personally, I'd also pay for that little extra you get look wise, and well, I haven't seen anyone wear them so you get some exclusivity if that rocks your boat.

but thats really just my justification, I'm sure its not enough for many people and theres no problem with that, thats why anyone can be happy with buying chucks or half cabs and spend much less, makes sense to me.

sod off Felix

i have no experience with the half-cabs and logan mids, but i can tell you one thing, in the case of sk8-his and logans, the logans are far superior in every way.

in terms of shape, the logans have a way more longer toe box and more pointer, giving it a much much more sleeker look, which imo fixes the problem with sk8-his, their round toebox that makes the shoe look really cheap.

in terms of quality, there simply is no possible discussion, visvim is just amazing.

to me,visvim makes good shoe ideas turn perfect.

just for reference, on the recent FBT ancestor drops, "retail" in hong kong was actually higher than ebay reseller price (seller plainflour)... no joke.

That's too gay for words.

[mike lowrey]

bickle with fleece

I have a strong feeling I might need this for next winter

what is the retail price for the Logan mids?

29,400 yen

get them through a proxy from japan, will most likely end up being less then through resellers and HK retail.

[shinchrono]

Shit, right when I finally decided I would just go for it I check and plainflour is out of logan mids........guess I'll have to deal with resellers again.

More importantly, SOMEONE HELP ME CHOOSE, logan mid, 20 pack, fbt or good food for the next month?

Also, G-Line is dropping slight camo FBT's soon, I hope they'll turn out nice.(I'm pretty sure slight camo means not like the Bison but who knows.)

[darte]

yup i finally got this through a proxy and nerve wrecking one month wait, first time using proxy service

so in love with it, FBT Taa Dine

the camo fbt's are probably one of the worst ideas visvim has ever had.

there is a pic of them somewhere on this thread. G-line is total shit.

That's exactly how i feel as well about my kiefers. Most people think they're just plain chucks, but it doesn't really bother me. What my feet thinks is far more important.

It helps that the toebox is a lot rounder compared to original chucks and that looks so much better IMO
