Visvim S/S 08

[mellowbonsai]

Lastly who wants to buy Visvim nowadays?...perhaps I'll save that argument for another time.

i feel as though im party to an infinitesimal niche market of american indians spending extra per-capita income on japanese produced american-indian styled clothing

[mellowbonsai]

and i for one will be copping our new fbt bear overlords

proxy anyone? or can i just call honeyee/union when the shipment comes?

[PHAT HEAD CAMEL TOEZ]

i'm just going by what the guy at union told me, anyone else have info on the folk FBT series

I'm not disputing the price in America/Europe, as I'm sure with shipping and import fees, the cost of the shoe will be that much. I'm just saying you might as well proxy it.

Mellow, you slept, the FBT bears have already been released last weekend in Japan and have sold out. Your best bet is JP auctions or wait for Union to get them.

I like the look of those virgil plain toes, don't think I could pull them off though.

[culturalmulatto]

any word about the sizing on the fbt bear foots? from my experience, their sizing tends to vary from model to model. any help is much appreciated.

[agentbuca]

Is the s/s 08 catalogue out yet, or any idea when it will be released?

[FrugalPlayer]

I hope union la gets the Elk FTBs cuz i can't find a size 11 black anywhere. i'd even pay plainflour's rape prices if he had one.

Visvim FBT Lhamo-Folk

[Egpt]

the siole definetly looks much better on those than ancestors or regular fbts. now if only they were elk skin...

[ringydingydingdang]

not elk? i though it was elk suede?

what are they made of? just regular suede?

[Demronick]

has visvim mastermind deck shoes dropped in japan yet?

i remembered i saw those in the mag .. but no news after that?

whats the RRP on this??

[casual_coal]

How much were the FBT bear foot folk when they dropped?

[symplex]

How much were the FBT bear foot folk when they dropped?

I believe the Bear Foot Folk and the Lhamo Folk are both 39,900 yen (~370 usd) retail.

[efujobu]

Does anyone own a pair of Llamo-folk? Just wanted to get feedback on how they differ in comfort/sturdiness from the fbts. I'm interested in picking up a pair. Thanks

[MrChery]

visvim usually fit true to ur size

[vahid]

did they completely drop the g-line? will i ever be able to get a sz 12 again?

[bloodz vs cripz]

it looks like the llamo FBTs has a thicker sole than the BEAR foot FBTs

[FrugalPlayer]

entertained the idea of copping a pair of the Lhamo FBT's from yahoo.jp auctions. price in my size is already up to $575 with 12 hours left. fucking hell. is the hype train on full steam with these or just uber limited production?

The g-line is definitely not dropped. In fact, from now on the European stores are not able to buy the japanese line anylonger. But to my understanding the g-line will be much closer to the japanese line in terms of styles and seasonal concepts from the next collection and going forward. I guess it all remains to be seen, though. The last g-line collection was tiny, and seemed to consist mostly of knock-downs and carry overs from the japanese line.

[air max guy]

Whereabouts is the FIL store lcoated in Shibuya? What stores are located around it?

Thanks.

[evanism]

Thanks for the info herpsky, on a sidenote, any idea how i can contact Visvim via email? Other than info@blabla.

[jf30]

F.i.l is not in shibuya it's in aoyama(harajuku?) underneath the tumi (luggage) store

[air max guy]

What other stores are around FIL? I tried looking for it last year when I was in Tokyo, but no luck. I followed the map found here on Superfuture.

[jf30]

go down the alley closest to dior, you will find the tumi store, the entrance to fil is around the back you have to go down stairs, there is no sign.

[MrChery]

Why anyone would want to buy Visvim at European/US prices is beyond me. $500 for a pair? When you can get it from FIL for $360-$380.

Nevertheless, with this price hike, hopefully all the 07 dick riders of Visvim (read that as "my fellow Americans") will fall off board and go back to The Hundreds and 10 Deep.

Lastly who wants to buy Visvim nowadays?...perhaps I'll save that argument for another time.

lol some one is mad....

Lhamos are at HK FIL, $3850 HKD - $494 USD

[mike lowrey]

I saw the FBT folks a couple of days ago and I have to say that they felt pretty great. the texture is really nice and they look comfortable as hell. I also prefer the sole over the regular type.
