Perhaps its clunky shape isn’t the perfect match for regular casual wear, the Nike Wildedge Mid represents Nike ACG perfectly with it’s blend of technologically sound construction and that aesthetic that is so inherently ACG. The “NOSEW” upper translates into a seamless construction which includes a waterproof and lightweight upper. No definitive release date has been announced.

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.
