These are some new products from Visvim. As you can see one of their products for the winter is a hooded 3/4 coat. The detailing on the inside is amazing with emphasis on inside pocket placements and lining. Visvim also has a Windbreaker jacket called the Gore Windstopper. Judging from the name, these jackets are made of Gore-Tex material, which also comes in colors of black, olive, and beige. And last but not least, is some new footwear. These kicks are reminiscent of Converse Chucks, but knowing Visvim, they have they’re own high quality and creative twist to it. Check out the writing on the toe part of the sole.
