The newer ones have 2 labels like my navy one, older ones have 1

Ah, yes. This is 17AW, so between the two. Perhaps by then they had already switched to the 2 label system ...

Did anyone preorder the distressed leather 101xx for FW22? If so, please dm me.

I pre-ordered one, what's up?

Those who attended the trunk show, which colorway of the Brigs looked best in person? Vis product shots never do the items justice.

I’m getting black. The dark brown was also really nice.

What’s the leather are they using for these?

Lamb

Usually with the burnished leathers the darker you go, less contrast is visible in the finish ie black should look pretty uniform, and the light brown should be pretty contrasty- however it also depends how you'd want to match with the new sole color.

The sole colour is the only thing making me pause. Initially I was a yes but it looks pretty yellow in the look book. Saying that once you wear them in it could look great

You posted pics of the Virgils though, is that what you meant? For the Virgils I thought black looked best. I didn't order cause I already have 4 pairs.

I agree with you about the sole color, I thought the black looked best with the sole.

Yeah sorry meant to say Virgil’s. Ya’ll are starting to scare me away from getting these now ha. Might wait for the upcoming poundmakers instead.

The leather and workup is pretty unspectacular. If you don't own virgils or don't have an itch I would pass- 73 re release as well as other shoes in pipeline better

I thought these were good in Black. The lamb will be soft (although I do worry about long term wear). That being said I did pick up a pair of the Poundmakers from the recent trunk show, although I think I might be done with Visvim footwear. 2k for them doesn't make sense besides the upcoming CD re-release.

The FW22 Poundmakers are around 1,200 USD. How are the SS23 ones 2k?

 

[norigim]

¥170,000- I guess I exaggerated

Hi guys new here. I've been interested in the brand for 5 years now but only recently started purchasing pieces. Every item I've gotten so far has been amazing in-hand. I'm now looking to purchase some pants and could use some help from someone with more experience. Some questions -

1. What is CMYK denim? I couldn't find mention of it anywhere online.
2. What is the difference between https://shop.visvim.tv/jp/en/shop/g/g4548780111517/ and https://shop.visvim.tv/jp/en/shop/g/g4548780136954/ - they look identical!
3. Some pants have W30/L30 sizing and some pants have 1-5 sizing. I have a pair of SS 03d10 denim that fit well in W34. Its waist measurements is ~35". Does this mean I would be a size 2 in the numbered sizing pairs. https://shop.visvim.tv/jp/en/shop/g/g4548780128607/ - I've tried on Fluxus 03 cords in the past in a size 2 that were way too tight so I'm cautious of purchasing another size 2 pants.

Cheers, thanks for helping! I'm sure I'll have more questions in the future. Happy to find a community of Visvim enjoyers here.
