Looks like a 45rpm lookbook

Well, the overall look is a lot softer and agrarian than past collections, which have drawn a lot more from streetwear. Just part of the current trend of soft colors, shapes, and inspirations. I think that I'll stick to pieces with streetwear and soutwestern influences, and that are a bit more agressive in tone.

I've never really liked any of the moccasin sneakers that Visvim does, they just look goofy on me but I've been tempted by these for sure.

The look book's models are mostly Visvim staff (and their actual family?). I recognize a bunch of people from the LA and Tokyo stores.

@shopcanoeclub - I have just seen your unboxing video for the UTE Moc... what's the sizing like on them? I remember the first iteration being very narrow. Is that still the case?

I now have both. The new mids are way more comfortable than the old los, There is considerably more volume through the forefoot, especially, which is great, and because they are laceup, you can vary the tightness at the midfoot and ankle. I can see thesel becoming summer go tos, and well into the fall.

What do you wear this with?

Tapered black jeans? Black tee? A belt and some Good Art Jewelry? Pretty standard stuff.

 

[shopcanoeclub]

yup i'd say anything black or olive would pair well with those.

What is your height/weight? Is the 2 a pretty slim fit on you?
