New shoes have been released from the Japanese label Visvim. The brand new Visvim FBT Lhamo-Folk looks a lot like the FBT Bear Foot-Folk but is actually slightly different. While both shoes offers the FBT flaps, the midsole on the FBT Lhamo-Folk is a bit higher than the Bear Foot-Folk. The Visvim FBT Lhamo-Folk also comes in diferent colorways including a really nice white colorway and also a grey one. These Visvim FBT Lhamo-Folk are not for everyone though as they cost 39,900 Yen (~ $370 USD) but what you’re buying is something of really nice construct and quality. Available now at Shaft.

A few years back, it was fashionable in the Sneakerhead community to match your sneakers along with your clothes like t-shirts or jackets. However, for the past year or so, both “Sneakerheads” and “HYPEBEASTs” have opted for more low-cut and stylish sneakers from brands like Vans or Converse. Individuals now focuses on their overall look rather than wearing just hyped up sneakers (like the Dunks). Just today, the Japanese web magazine Honeyee has published a look book feature showing you that Dunks can actually look good if worn with the right pieces. In the feature, you will not see black dunks with a black shirt but rather you will get to experience how a sporty shoe like the Dunk can go with a more sophisticated fit.
