Already into its third season, Black Scale has ensured a strong and relevant theme manifests itself season to season. With the looming US elections on the horizon, it was a natural choice for Black Scale to look to politics and the government for it’s season 3 collection.

The creation of a brand like Visvim represents much more then building high quality products. The obsessive traits regarding creating products which are not only relevant to their inspirations but also the willingness to ensure every detail is perfect is hardly something that can be learned. The new Folk Series from Visvim has created yet another innovation in the world of lifestyle footwear. Although there exists more then just the FBT within Visvim’s footwear line, it is this sneaker which has unofficially taken the reigns as Visvim’s flagship, something hard to argue. The new re-worked Folk Lhamo FBT is in our opinion the truest representation of moccasin meets sneaker.
