Visvim 2008 Fall/Winter Serra Collection


More so then ever, Visvim’s mountaineering-inspired Serra falls nicely in the current hiking boot-movement. And much like some of the Hockney’s seen earlier this year, the Serras are injected with a bit of flare thanks to a relatively wider range of colors on the leather boots. If the blues, yellows and purples are not to your liking, the trustworthy black is also available. However the boot’s release is limited only to FIL locations in Japan and Hong Kong as well as Isetan.

Neighborhood X Visvim Mowat


Neighborhood and Visvim both represent a different segment in Japanese fashion. On one hand, Neighborhood is all about the rockabilly biker style while on the other hand, Visvim’s style is influenced by the natural surroundings around us. As two contradicting forces collide, we are left with this newly released Neighborhood x Visvim Mowat Moccasin. The black colorway of this Mowat Moccasin gives the shoe a heavy duty look which contradicts the natural mentality of Visvim.
