Pretty sure that's the Soullive guy who runs a brand that "copies" a lot of Visvim.

You're thinking of kekkovogue, used to be obsessed with visvim, then in the last year it was fear of god (he literally looked like a clone of jerry lorenzo with dreads and all), and now its rick owens / acronym. He's taken on crossfit so its mainly posting around that. Guys a weird dude for sure

Funny thing is that during his vis days I don’t think I ever saw his eyes, so I always thought he was asian

I think thats part of the problem tbh- hes on the shorter side and outgrew visvim in the arms. Some of his last vis posts were hilarious, **** clearly didn't fit in the arms. Kinda same thing happening for me, but im not as focused on fitness- vis stuff is just cut soooo slim in the shoulders and arms hard to fit westerners. Not to mention trends changed and the hip-hop streetwear aesthetic blew up in the last 2 years.

Yeah, I don’t own much vis wear anymore, mostly shoes still. Sold all my other stuff except for my Yukata. I might pick up a ruunpe since that’s also oversized, but even at 5’9 the arms are never super comfy on me. I may pick up an albacore or granger shirt but otherwise I stay away these days.

thats racist!

Hah, well if you saw his photos it was insane how closely he looked to hiroki sometimes. It was always hilarious when he got posted and a million people would say THATS NOT HIROKI

Feel like narrow shoulders is a prob with a lot of Japanese brands and sometimes it doesn't lead to the most flattering silhouettes
