Visvim x Neighborhood 7-Hole Boot


After much anticipation, Visvim’s 7 hole boot collaborative effort with Neighborhood that has spanned 2 years has finally released. This boot has all the makings of a potential classic when dealing with Visvim and Neighborhood. Neighborhood branding can be seen on the tongue as well as the back heel. The classic NBHD-esque Jolly Roger is seen on the rear as well. Although many won’t buy these for it’s intended purpose as a work boot, rest assured should the occasion ever arise you will get the job done.
