  Visvim

  Thanks to a slow Saturday morning, I wondered myself (yet again) in the awesome world of eBay and Yahoo Auction. Damn it..., I found this pair of shoes...crafted with beauty and luxury. Should I or Should I? That is the question.

  I stayed away from the Japanese ura-harajuku, street-fashion, exclusive stuff for quite a while now because it had been a pretty dangerous habit. But you know how it is, every once in a while you need to embrace the dark side to get things going.

  Neighborhood had always been my favorite brand, their denims and jackets are just so sick, so gangster, so savage. Lately they seem to run out of ideas though, coming out with repetitive stuff, plus too much hype is always annoying.

  NexusVII is the G.O.A.T (Greatest of All Time), they specialize in Tees and Jackets using real quality materials and detailed craftsmanship, however they always stay low and their stuff are way too limited so I stopped paying attention to them.

  So you got my favorite jeans from Neighborhood; Tees and Jackets from NexusIIV...

  Visvim on the other hand...is hands down my new found G.O.A.T (Greatest Of All Time) in terms of shoewears, it's a Japanese luxurious outdoor shoewear company specialized in the craftsmanship, innovative designs, quality materials, and ultimate comfort of their products.

  Their products cover a wide array of mens' outdoor gears, but primarily known for their shoes. Without further ado, let's get on with them pictures...

  
  A pair of staple FBT Model. Probably one of their best known shoe model and one of their few originally designed shoes. $450+ a pop, IF you can get your size.

  
  My most wanted, but will never get a hold of...Logan Model, this is the mid type. The model closely resembles the Half-Cabs from Vans:
  
  Design aren't much of an attraction for me, because nowadays various brands pretty much steal all the classic shoe models anyway, what makes this pair so beautiful is the works and the materials, check below pics for details.

  
  Breath-taking!
  
  I remember these pictures are from two years ago, they were at least $450 a pop too.

  Fortunately, I was able to find their newest Logans - dubbed: "Lattice"

  
  This is the high-top Logan, "Lattice" series that came out in 08 Winter I think... JESUS H. CHRIST!

  It is now availible and I am reeeeeeaaallllllly tempted. It is what inspired me to write a post about Visvim shoes. Amazingly Beautiful.

  

  Butter smooth leather, Pig skin linning, Hand stiched assembly. Awesomeness.

  

  I am not sure whether the leathers are assembled strips by strips, either way they look ridiculously, stupidly, wonderfuly amazing.

  
  All leather interior lining. My stinky feet won't stink in these!

  They are going for $430 on eBay brand new in box. SHOULD I!!!??? Somebody stop me!!!

  
  Next up, the Khifer model. Which is 99% resembling the Converse All Stars. Except 1,000 times more luxirious.

  This is a used pair on eBay going for $300. Anyone?

  

  Again, butter smooth leather, leather interior, hand stich assembly.

  
  Another model made with Canvas outter material, price still going strong, at about $300 for brand new in box.

  
  Mmmm...

  
  Vellli Niiice!

  
  LOL my Nike IDs from two years ago. Why is it that Nike doesn't make Black/White dunks? It pissed me off so much, the only Black/White Nikes before 2007 were the super rare exclusive Nike x Stussy Dunk High's...

  

  Back then these go for over $500 for a brand new pair. Have them sitting in my closet in the States now, apparently people aren't exactly nastolgic about classics. SHAME ON YOU!! These were up for sale at one point for $350 and I got roasted for it. You know what? Your loss.

  Hmm...

  Back to debating whether I should make the seller an offer...

  I hate myself!
