Tho i could be wrong

[Appleseed]

^ Was in FIL Tokyo today, and those were the only Kangaroo Virgil Folks they had on display.

[seenmy]

yeah its just the FIL release of that boot which they launched at the stage event at isetan,its growing on me if I didnt have kangaroos I would be after a pair,now Im hoping they do a suede batch

[akuma no uta]

Did anyone go to the trunk show union LA did? Apparently they had the bespoke program there with hrioki doing a lot of the measuring and orders....

[halberdklown]

son of a bitch....and i missed it.

[pennyoka]

Damn, that sounds dope. Too bad I left LA two months ago.

^ Was in FIL Tokyo today, and those were the only Kangaroo Virgil Folks they had on display.

i asked one of the dudes there and he said those were leftovers from the isetan pop-up. there were heinously expensive polished boots with a captoe, not sure if those were the same...

i guess i'm a hyped size so need to cast my net outside the official FIL network - any other visvim stockists in tokyo worth checking out for footwear?

also there is another visvim in tokyo? didn't see one in the stockists list.... sorry for all the questions, i am trying to trade in supreme thread karma haha. but seriously it took me 10 minutes to find the harajuku store even though i had a map, i am just being realistic:o.

btw i liked the foley folk in theory but the soles felt like they were made out of particle board... not too dissimilar to the logans but the upper on my logans were stiffer and probably actually sized correctly so less problematic. i still want to get them though, how sick puppy am i?

[Playahater]

There's quite a few Visvim stockists in Tokyo, UDFTD around the corner from Supreme Harajuku, Blackflag (aoyama) which is close-ish by, Contempoary Fix, Cibone and Ron Herman also in Aoyama. All of which are in walking distance of FIL.

Ask the SA's at FIL to give you directions, the guys are really helpful.

[seenmy]

head porter plus and soph aslo,and of course isetan shinjuku,all depends what you want though as a lot of the 'best' stuff is fil exclusive so wouldnt be at these doors (bar possibly isetan)

[kicks79]

Head porter plus didn't have anything when i was there. Isetan had quite a good selection. Really depends on when you go.

[Playahater]

Likewise, Head Porter didn't have shit in Feb.

Seenmy is right though, FIL and Isetan are the best places although if they've sold out of something, the other stockists might have it.

FIL Tokyo isn't the easiest store to find, the sign doesn't make things easier when it's white on white.

[Appleseed]

Was by the Shinjuku Isetan and they had a bigger display than I was assuming. The Harajuku Undefeated only seemed to have a few of those shitty pastel Serra and Hockney runs from last summer. Nothing current.

[readytoignite]

thanks guys... was actually in that isetan today en route to disk union but too overwhelmed by the food court to try the men's section - will spread rep later but jet lag catching up haha

[hiatus]

Anyone have experience with FIL Hong Kong? Are the prices comparable to Japan retail?

[readytoignite]

they mark up - the retail was about the same as union in new york at the time so not a good look

[hiatus]

ouch, thanks for the info. it'll most likely be window shopping for me next month then.

[rhett]

finally pulled the trigger on a pair of the new kangaroo virgils. hopefully the sole doesn't look crazy since i have big feet should arrive saturday ill post pics, although i hope the soles last longer then my folk 7 hole soles as they have started to separate in the heel and toe area on one of the boots.

[seenmy]

thats a pretty common problem with that sole unit,i believe its the main reason behind the new sole unit on the virgil

[TheD]

after some sizing advice on 73 7-hole Folk Boots as I might be buying some through a private sale.

They are a us10 and I normally go from a 9-10 in visvim, need to know if they fit true, small, large. For comparison I am 10 in duck decoy, 9.5 in hockney, 9.5 in fbt, 10 in fbt folk. us9.5 in nike. uk8.5 in trickers.

The sole measurement of the 73 seems longer than the sole of my trickers and would suggest that they are too big but after some advice from those who may own a pair and one of the above

[rhett]

They might be a little big. Mine are 11's and fit perfect i wear a 12 in nikes, 11 in fbt, 11 in kiefer, 12 in hockneys and 12 in fbt folks.

[halberdklown]

seenmy, how would one be able to remedy this problem, if it were to occur?

[rhett]

I just used a little bit of shoe goo and its fine, i know ive read you can send them to get resoled....No clue how much that will run though. can always take them to a cobbler.

[seenmy]

yeah,basically you can get them glued by a cobbler,I have also been told of people getting them resold with vibram christys (goodyear welt allows for this and apparently the heel cup dosent affect this) although this is second hand info and i havent seen the resoled pair in the flesh and havent queeried the process but im pretty sure it was done in london and not by visvim, and by all accounts looked dope

[Double SS]

Hey, I wonder if someone can help me out. I'm looking to buy a pair of Raw Visvim Fluxus but I'm confused as to the different models. I don't want a super slim pair but not a straight cut either, want something in between, similar to the Fenom 360 cut, and would like it to be selvedge. What's the number I should be looking for?

Also, is it better for me to get a proxy from FIL stores, as I'm not sure whether they sell out quickly or not. Any help would be appreciated

[Threeseven]

I guess you will be looking for the 05 cut. The 01 is close to a levi's 501.

[NeGeurra]

Need answers to the following:

1) Where do they sell visvim in paris other than colette?

2) Is their showroom still there?

3) If it is, are they open to individual sales?

4) Where is it? (address)

[Playahater]

Colette is the only official Visvim stockist in France.

The rest i'm not gonna bother answering........

[aak]

negeurra, visvim.tv - check the overseas stockists

would hate to be coppin' visvim with them new zealand dollars!

[NeGeurra]

Sigh. yes. and even worst is that they are selling them higher than normal retail price in Nz. most likely cos of the currency. I usually need Hide-san to get em for me.

[rhett]

Just got my Virgils in yesterday. These boots definitely run true to size. Im a sz. 12 normally, my folk 7 holes are 11s fit perfect, no way i could have fit an 11 in these. Also the heel/sole is not as monsterous as the pictures previously shown.
