The evolution of Visvim's footwear growth and development has been clearly documented in their catalogs and online through blogs since their inception in 2000. The collection has taken tremendous strides as Hiroki Nakamura continues to learn and strive to make the best possible products. In the last couple of seasons we've see Visvim take aim on some of the more traditional items in American history, such as the long wingtip shoe. The Patrican last fall was done very nicely and can be spotted in our first issue of Inventory. This spring's long winged brother however is again a step up in the use of high quality leather's for the suede outer and the extremely soft liner. They come in sand, black and white and seem to have shed the ribbon-like detail that the sample adorn, which is a good decision. The shoes will probably not be for everyone, but as a fan of both the long wing and Visvim, there was never much doubt in my mind.

i think we should all talk more about the intentions of the designer in a pseudo-academic way about streetwear
haha snowape, good shit
also, hope you realize retails like800 dollas
$800 for two left feet?
@snow ape
fail to see how any of this is academic or "psuedo-academic" (I love how critics always latch on to the use of "pseudo-anything" like it validates they are in fact intelligent too but just happen to hate big words) but ya got us!!
next time we can all just say what we need to in LOLSPEAK in order to appease the people who need a dumbed down delivery.
who let the children to the grown ups table anyway?
a pair of suede brogues is streetwear?
times have changed.
how are you under the impression that this is grown up in any way?
when we are discussing the intentions of the guys behind 10 deep or crooks and castles you can chime in with your witty remarks about big words, otherwise know your place lil homie and fall back.
you didn't answer my question
lol @ buddy
you sound like part of a giant clothing related circle jerk, talking (yes in a pseudoacademic way about intentions of a designer)
10deep and c&c...HAH
yeah bro a huge circle jerk like the one you got going with your lil homie snow ape. Again, go back to hypebeast aka the kids table where you belong.
HAH
@snow ape
talking about why a designer makes his shit is what people do all the time with fashion. Sorry bro but visvim ain't streetwear anymore and its debatable if it ever was (nigas never wore visvim type shoes before visvim). it's showing its collections in paris nigga, i don't know one streetwear kid that wears suede brogues and if they did it'd only be cause it's visvim. streetwear used to be about style but now it's about brands. thats why i can't take you lil kids seriously.
^nvrmnd these is suede wingtips but whtvrs it means same thing. I aint never seen one pair of suede wingtips on hypebeast forums or on the street. it just doesn't happen in streetwear.
your posts look like a 13 year old hispanic girl from inwood's myspace.
at least try and be funny next time son, and you were saying about being grown up? oh yeah you got nothing. right.
see you at the kids table.
HAH
See what a small heel stabilizer can do! Take note visim! get rid of it or ape shall eat buddy.
