*** Visvim thread: Dissertation on a Japanese Holy Spirit ***

[grs]

they're chunky but I wouldn't say they look like clown shoes. I think wide pants look best but I wear them with social sculptures and they look fine. Here's a pair of the painted green Hi's

I actually tend to own larger pants like EG FA Pants and some TNFPL field pants. Maybe these are worth the pick up. I am an 11.5 in most shoes, can wear an 11 too but I like the width 11.5 gives. Would you get an 11 or 12?

I asked visvimjapan how much he was selling a 4 for... 5k.

Absolutely taxing. When they first released, he was charging 4500 before shipping. I recently asked him the price for the used AW22 deck jacket in a size 2 and he said $2700 USD. Crazy stuff.

On another note I spoke to the owner of a store who Visvim approached to sell their product about the wholesale pricing and why U.S. gets such a price hike. Apparently Visvim uses same distributor as Needles once did (When their track pants were 400 dollars in US). The distributor takes a cut off the top (the mark up). Has nothing to do with US-Japan trade agreements, or Visvim knowing Americans will buy more $$$ clothing. He passed on Visvim for the moment because of the steep mark up, but suggested that with the Torrance HQ now establishing itself they may start doing their own distribution which could help fix pricing, the same way Needles is now priced more reasonably in the states.

Generally used prices seem to have gone insane but at the same time nobody is buying my stuff for less than it went for a couple years ago. Something is fishy

As someone who shops for size 4/5 and size 11 footwear. It is so much $$$$ for used stuff. Can't find any used boots besides beat virgils for under a grand.

Lot of stuff sells for lot less than you think it would. For example if you filter Grailed by sold items. The sale price of lot of Visvim stuff lot lower than what it was originally listed as. Seen stuff go from $2,000 to less than $1,000

Not always the case of course but so many times I’ve seen price stuff sold for and thought ‘why the hell didn’t I offer that’ haha

Man the jump from 10 to 11 such a pain. So many Grizzly’s and Brigadier boots in 10 I’ve wanted but held off knowing will be too tight. If they come up in 11 either crazy price or never come up at all.

I would go for the 12

Same here. It's partially size scarcity. I'm in the size 12 camp on Vis shoes.

For my big-footed brothers - if anyone wants a pair of FW22 g cords skagway lo’s (not the aforementioned g patten) in an 11 please let me know. Selling my pair. Only worn a couple times. They’re the olive colorway.

Anyone know what day the ICT Brigs come out? and what time if they are on the webstore?

Looks like 4/1. Usually will be on the web store by 10AM (unless they pre-sold out to other buyers beforehand).

Also, wow 1.6k! I remember when I bought my first brigs for <$600 at full US retail.

I can barely find any boots in 12, let alone slightly affordable ones

They looked nice in the stock photos but I wasn't really into them when I saw posts out of the box. Still chasing the 20/21 kangr pair
