I should've proxy'ed I guess. Owell.

Anyone else have absurdly long tassles on the FBT Elks? Im probably gonna have to cut mine a bit on one shoe since I keep stepping on them, they drag an inch on the ground. I own FBT JP as well and never had this issue

Interest check, I have a brand new pair of black elk FBTs (still in box), size 10us

Mine were a little long, but I just knotted them up again

Picked up some new black suede Virgils for a crazy good price (thanks to Zenmarket

), any details on the leather used, 11 F/W season?

 

[magnumtobaggan]

is it waxed suede? Could be a kudu upper

 

[MaiLam]

Nope, just standard suede, not too well versed in Visvim though so was curious for extra details

 

[magnumtobaggan]

Hmmm, its hard to say then. You are sure its f/w 2011 (blue white striped tag)?

Any pics?

 

[MaiLam]

Not my pic but yeah they're these:

Does anyone know visvims restock patterns for their web store? Like the SS16 suede shaman folks are sold out now, so is that it for this season? Should I be waiting for FW16 to see the next batch of them? I need to know because I'm planning on buying a pair of shamans pretty soon, so I was wondering if I should wait for a restock or shoot for a nice resale pair...

Webstore doesnt restock- occasionally they might rotate old stock and a couple pieces may pop up but its unlikely. Webstore updates every monday at 8pm pst

 

[jyoonie]

Well, the $700 leather shaman folks that I saw on there awhile ago but then sold out, have just recently been put back up. And I've seen the normal suede shaman folks sell out and then come back up later on the site in the exact same colors, multiple times. So I assumed that they did periodic restocks on FBTs, which makes sense as it is their most popular model.

 

[Fycus]

As i said they rotate stock, its not a restock, they shift allocation from web to retail and vice versa to sell stuff. They also periodically sell old releases randomly to keep demand above supply. Tldr, you will have several other chances to get shamans in the future, scope instagram before releases they usually post lists under visvim hashtag
