Visvim has just released their catalog for their 2007 Fall/Winter collection which is called “Dissertation on Geographical Relevance in Rational Product Development.” This beautifully put together catalog gives buyers a look at Visvim’s concept of how different geographical locations ties into their products using spectacular photography. The catalogs are now available at F.I.L. stores across Japan.
In addition to the catalog, Hiroki Nakamura, Visvim’s director, also gives us a look at some upcoming products from the Visvim line up. He shows us one model, the FBT Nome, coming in two styles. The all white one will be released at F.I.L. stores while the “cow” pattern FBT Nome will be released at Japanese hi-end department store, Isetan.

Around the sneaker game circle, many will recognize Methamphibian as one of the most prolific sneaker customizers of his era. Some of his recent projects include collaborations with Essense Japan and DC Shoes. The DC Shoe Artist Project involved Methamphibian traveling across the US and Europe to promote his sneaker.
However, throughout the years, Meth has yet exhibit his work on a solo level. His involvement with Mountain Dew Green Label and his Tundra Mountain Dew bottle design marked a perfect occasion to combine his efforts as an exhibition. The show will mark the unveiling of some unique pieces created specifically for the show utilizing light boxes, neon lights and other surprise products. More info can be seen after the jump.
