Visvim F/W/S 2006-2007

Anyone else experienced this?

Double tones purchased from Slam Jam.

I've had them for about 6 months now, and have been wearing them 2 to 3 times every week. Regular use (no skateboarding, soccer, I do ride my bike daily but it's not fixed so no cages),

yesterday I was walking around town the whole day and covered quiet some distance, at the end of the day I noticed that the thread broke and it started coming apart quite quick. Something has to be done about it otherwise the whole shoe will come apart.

I could probably repair it myself but am thinking about contacting Visvim about it since this shouldn't happen this quick especially not to shoes this expensive and that are considered to be of very high quality.

Not cool!

oh shit the exact same thing happened to my double tones. weirdly it never happened to my shakers though. i took them into hideout who sent them back to japan to be fixed. i basically had to pay the shipping and that was about it. i did try and take them to a few really good cobblers and they saw em and freaked out! the only way to fix em proper is remove the stitching and start again

thanks for the reactions so far.

Could it maybe be that it happens to the 2-tones since the white leather is alot stiffer?

@ sayword: i'll post a fit pic soon...

FUCK.

So nice.

Got the white... but I'm a sz.11 and the laces are maaaaaaaaaaaaaaad long... wish I could tie 'em off like the way you did... so much better... I need to go up an extra hole...

wack!!

hahaha

thats because he wears his shoes practically open, dude decided to re-do my laces and every time I took a step a shoe flew off.

so yea the laces are long for me as well. you can always buy shorther ones though, but might be hard to find the slightly off-white color.

Happened to two of my pairs. One pair I sent back to Visvim and got them fixed the other (black ones) I had repaired at a local cobbler - hardly noticeable. With the two-tones it will be more apparent if not done 100%. Contact Visvim - and send them back. It is a weakness in the construction of the shoe - basically Visvim's fault - so I wouldn't pay for shipping.

Actually what I found with the Hockneys and FBTs, if you tuck the elasticated strap which goes across your foot underneath the innersole it makes the shoe 100% more comfortable. Worth a shot.

Tip works perfect.

Now if I can only get past the fact that I no longer like my Polke 2's.

No problems with my Ancestors or Zahras. Would love to get some black Logans.

Yeah buy the backpacks now, as A/W 07 doesn't look promising at all

The messenger bags with the wavy stitching on are good though...

[witts]

wore my logan patent mids for about 12 hours on saturday rubbed my right little toe to death, feel inside them the seams around the toe box and they have grooves in... same thing happened with my keifers, any ideas on stopping them rubbing? ive got an extra insole from my FBTs in em so they fit snug

Herp - I'd still love to see these Cloak-like boots from Non-No you mentioned. Any chance of some pics?

[herpsky]

i got rid of the mens nonno issue that had the pictures

ask mike b lowrey.

[mike lowrey]

they were in the current issue? I didnt have time to browse it very thoroughly yet so will have to check again.

[herpsky]

there's a 5-6 page feature on F/W Undercover collection.

All the shoes worn by the models are visvim x UC that are supposedly being released on the 28th.

[englandmj7]

I got two Non-no's at Kinokuniya a few days ago and neither of them had them in there. Don't know if Kinokuniya has the most current issues though...........

[herpsky]

August issue. Orange-ish / yellow-ish cover with some gay boy pictured on the front cover.

I think they all have that on the cover. Unfortunately, my two issues don't have anything about Undercover in them..........damn.

Word up.

Those look so good too btw, esp. the white laces set them off

[graydot]

anyone interested in logan mids? i just purched a pair of sz. 9 creams from kiya and unfortunately they are too big. looking to get what i paid (300$ shipped within north am) unless someone has a size 8 or 8.5 they want to trade. they come with everything except the box. PM me. otherwise they will be up in supermarket soon enough.

yup found it when browsing it again last night.

some bad pics:

should be interesting. the other ones look like rubber boots or "rainboots", or whatever they're called in english, the type you wear when working on a farm

might be just what I need for the winter over here..
