Visvim and SOPHNET. have joined forces once again in a series of items aptly titled the Black & White collection. Spanning the Logan, Gutter belt and Homer Tote bag, the collection involves two colors of each item in black and white, satisfying the legion of minimalist fans each brand has catered to in the past. The items will only be available as SOPH. SHOP exclusives releasing this Saturday, May 3rd.

In what started out approximately three years ago, honeyee.com has quickly become an important online destination as it represents a community for innovative ideas from some of the world's most creative and influential talents. The trifecta of honeyee.com founders include such familiar names as Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design, Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim and Hirofumi Kiyonaga of SOPHNET. Together honeyee.com has created a small collection of items in a close knit affair including a honeyee.com x Visvim Folk Foley and honeyee.com x SOPHNET. short sleeve shirt. The items are minimalistic with little honeyee.com branding. Both will be available through the honeyee.Store.

A comprehensive look into Original Fake's 2nd anniversary collection has been released. No stranger to big time collaborations, the items include a t-shirt with Kate Moss and Supreme, a Ballistic V-Bag with Visvim, denim with Levi's and frames with Stussy. Each product is not without Original Fake's strong branding including Chomper and Bendy designs. Source: Honeyee

The Visvim E-Cat line of messenger bags originally presented some slight proportion issues when first released due to the overwhelming size of the bag. However, the scaled down Ballistic E-Cat 18 features a more user friendly bag which created a better look then the aforementioned OG release. Like the backpacks seen last week, the E-Cat 18 follows a similar trend with set color combos. Available now at Re In Force

Visvim has released some new pieces from their 2008 spring/summer collection. Many of the pieces feature one of Visvim's most prominent fabrics in Giza45 cotton, known for its soft feel and desirable properties. The 5-Nation button up seen here follows up on Visvim's ongoing homage to Native American culture. Source: Re In Force

Visvim released some new shoes, Logan Deck Lo's, for their 2008 S/S Collection. The shoes come in multiple colorways, all are very complimentary colors such as beige, black, and white. The styling of the shoes are also very classic, with details such the red handwritten Visvim logo on the back of the sole. Another classic from Visvim! Source: Chapter World

Neighborhood and Visvim both represent a different segment in Japanese fashion. On one hand, Neighborhood is all about the rockabilly biker style while on the other hand, Visvim's style is influenced by the natural surroundings around us. As two contradicting forces collide, we are left with this newly released Neighborhood x Visvim Mowat Moccasin. The black colorway of this Mowat Moccasin gives the shoe a heavy duty look which contradicts the natural mentality of Visvim. Available now at Cliffedge.

The always popular line of Visvim backpacks have been updated for the 2008 spring/summer collection. The majority of these bags are created in low-key understated colors albeit with attention garnered by the use of colorful zippers. Both the Ballistic 20 and Ballistic 25 (formerly know as the K Pack) are available in black/blue, green/orange and tan/yellow. Available now at select Visvim dealers including Re In Force.

A new series of features are embedded in the newest Kiefers, known as the "Patala". Colors on the domestic versions are always subtle but there have some brighter insertions as you can see on the heel cap of the dark green model and on these really cool front zips. We've seen the side apertures on the Masterpiece collabos, later borrowed by Cause and even Wings & Horns, but Visvim is using their own original idea for this release. It's a definite hit, and though brightly colored, it is revealed mainly to the wearer exclusively, since the zip is camouflaged by the laces. The toe cap is an EVA pylon material, and the vulcanized overall structure of the shoe provides lightweight and comfort technology. Source: Re In Force

Visvim will be releasing a pair of new sandals in the coming months at F.I.L. stores in Japan. Included in this drop will be the Visvim Mayan Christo which is influenced by the Mayan Civilization. If you're looking for a pair of sandals to battle the upcoming warming weather, these might be for you. Also, shown here is the Jokhang Christo which has already been released at F.I.L. Also, "F.I.L. at stage" which was a section in the Isetan department store has come to an end. For those who aren't in Japan, you can check out what the shop looked after the jump.
