For clarity, it fits like the Iris Liner or Iris Liner Jkt?

Slightly roomier than the old liner - way more fitted than jkt. Assuming there's this ( Liner Jkt. ) and Jkt.
Recall the Jkt fitting very roomy, especially the sleeves. This is nothing like that.

Was someone state side wanting the black virgils in a 12?

Zephyr's are amazing irl, but, as I said to @Retlas, I think they are wearing me. Less Visvim, more Rick Owens. Let me know what you think but I will likely back them. Definitely 0.5 small in toebox too. I backed the black lambskin Virgils too as I think, other than the leather, they are not making me think...

Love those, in particular the white colorway but I'm so over the vulcanized sole they use on those and the g.patten. Mine are already falling apart- total joke.

 

[Retlas]

I love them... but not a glowly review there @Fycus

Adhesion between layers is ass- the fabric impregnated rubber strips fall apart, not sure why they keep doing that. Even vans last longer in my experience.

The part I've had go is the heel counter. The rubber/plastic has snapped and completely lost its shape on one pair of skagways I have.

The front of the midsole on my g patten broke and turned into a rubber flap lol

You would think Vis had a few employees wear the design for 6-12 months to see how it holds up before releasing it. I’ve seen several instances of G patterns falling apart. Yet they are still pumping them out for SS23 lol.

Speaking of worn out items, there’s a new old visvim never dies dissertation https://www.visvim.tv/dissertation/philosophy/old_visvim_never_dies.html


Always enjoy looking at the several years old items. Some of the indigo dyed/ND items look really good. And the 101 IT color is so rich. Might even look better. Maybe one of you guys can submit your g pattern to present in the article 😅

All their skgways construction has been the same for 10+ years, falling apart within months and nothing being improved. Converse will last you longer.

New skags never last.

I know it's not a 1:1 comparison but I own drkshdw Ramones that look almost new after 6 years of wear and low maintenance. I know cup sole vs / taped sole, but how they can't figure it out with 1k sneakers is mind boggling

It's called "deep quality"

 

[Hanto]

I saw on another forum that cons do a custom sole with a g. pattern style sole. Will find a pic, but is an option I guess.

This is great...
