Visvim F/W/S 2006-2007

[callmecarlito]

I don't like the neon too much, but man I love me some suede.

[jaspar]

Those look great. Dose of color is a nice variation on the classic FBT style. Is the Neon G-Line or Jpn?

[hahnstch]

I like them ok. They look pretty much the same as the other fbts, cept for the soles, or am I missing something else?

Hahn, what turns you off so much on these vs any other fbt?

the sole color. they're going into flashy colors direction, which is a no go for me. rather save my money to get a pair of june 13th

[hamham3001]

only the purple soles is interesting.. but shit.. sand and brown is ugly with those soles.. and where's the beeds on the fbts?

damnit.. is visvim gonna go all flashy shit with their patient leather and neon soles..

[hahnstch]

plus there's nothing new on that neon fbt in terms of design. it's just plain fbt with colored sole. i was wishing for something innovative like the old coyote, or UC fbt, or unrivaled FBT, or even taa dine.

[hamham3001]

i still think the best design for fbt is the shaker.. that patchwork design is very creative, not to mention looking so good..

like the last fbt (white pack).. i had a bit of dissapointment.. and now this... where did the creativity go?

I've been after a pair of the coyotes for sooo long, they never come up in my size (11), not sure if they even went up that big back then.

I'm surprised you're turned off by the colors on that one, but you like the june 13ths, they're the red, white and green ones, right?

Weird. I don't think conventional leather with a barely-visible neon sole is any more flashy than bead work and beaded hanging fringe that everyone is so lamenting...

yea, but they're done for special reasons ie. that's parla's (the tagging) and romanelli's (the patchwork) signature work. whereas for the neon, they can do better/ be more creative than that...

[cersepn]

omg, why didnt they have one in black with a red sole.. not feeling the purple sole

because that will be equivalent to a poor man's version of undftd fbt

hahah i was gonna chim in on that.

yup i hope they don't even though i can't afford a pair of Undftd. just dont like seeing company butchering limited releasese like that.

[Louche]

disgusting fbt... same goes for the reflector tees...

The Nez-Perce or the 5-Nations?

Japanese..

Just got an email from Union this morning about them getting in "Visvim camo butters":

Good for you, we got the new Visvim butters.

At "the Onion" today we put out the New Visvim G line Camo Gortex Craze!

What the hell?

Anyone know what they're talking about?

This possibly?

[Westbrook]

Yikes. Bape fears confirmed.

[englandmj7]

Hmm. Maybe.

didnt the udftd version use all sorts of smooth leathers? i prefer the material of the ones posted above. although i dont know what to call it.

[Egpt]

holy shit that m65 is ridiculous....

bape fears confirmed indeed...guess they really wanna hit the US market hard.

can't blame them though, cash is king.

R.I.P. Visvim

It was good while it lasted....

[louie]

i think that's just some camo version of the bickle coat.

but yeah, that made me cringe.

I'd say that's somewhat of an overstatement. They're still making plenty of very nice stuff, and I'm sure they'll continute to.

[docnbhd]

Wow... I'm glad I picked up a Ballistic pack before they screwed that up...

[Demronick]

Just wondering if any stores in us still have fbt ancestor in snow/beige colour in 9.5 -10 us size?

Anyone checked recently? might need a hook up

[Demronick]

. double post

[Westbrook]

they might have them at St. Alfred in chicago. If you call them and figure it out, I'll grab them for you. they're a fortune there, though.330 i think.

Hey Westbrook, do you think you could pick me up the new patent leather hockneys at St. Alfred? And do you know by chance how much those are? Thanks.

[Westbrook]

I dunno how much they are, but if you find out I'll be happy to grab them for you. Call em up and figure out if they have your size, and the price. I'll get em for you for the price plus shipping and paypal fees.

That Visvim jacket has been shown in this piece from September last year:

http://supertouchblog.com/?p=298 surprised all the big (ex-)Visvim fans hadn't seen it.
