The always popular line of Visvim backpacks have been updated for the 2008 spring/summer collection. The majority of these bags are created in low-key understated colors albeit with attention garnered by the use of colorful zippers. Both the Ballistic 20 and Ballistic 25 (formerly know as the K Pack) are available in black/blue, green/orange and tan/yellow. Available now at select Visvim dealers including Re In Force.
A new series of features are embedded in the newest Kiefers, known as the “Patala”. Colors on the domestic versions are always subtle but there have some brighter insertions as you can see on the heel cap of the dark green model and on these really cool front zips. We’ve seen the side apertures on the Masterpiece collabos, later borrowed by Cause and even Wings & Horns, but Visvim is using their own original idea for this release. It’s a definite hit, and though brightly colored, it is revealed mainly to the wearer exclusively, since the zip is camouflaged by the laces. The toe cap is an EVA pylon material, and the vulcanized overall structure of the shoe provides lightweight and comfort technology.

Visvim will be releasing a pair of new sandals in the coming months at F.I.L. stores in Japan. Included in this drop will be the Visvim Mayan Christo which is influenced by the Mayan Civilization. If you’re looking for a pair of sandals to battle the upcoming warming weather, these might be for you. Also, shown here is the Jokhang Christo which has already been released at F.I.L.
Also, “F.I.L. at stage” which was a section in the Isetan department store has come to an end. For those who aren’t in Japan, you can check out what the shop looked after the jump.
Visvim’s more readily available global collection of goods, the G-Line has recently hit UNDFTD. Up to bat is the flagship FBT in some camouflage patterns. Size runs have also been reported to dip into a US size 6, resulting in something for the ladies. A release date has allegedly been set for April 15th, but check your local UNDFTD dealer for more details regarding availability.
Visvim will be releasing a pair of one-toned brightly colored FBT model this Spring. These colors will be exclusive to the G-line aimed at international audiences. The G-line tends to be a lot more colorful and stands out compared to the traditional Visvim products for Japan. These FBTs will be available at the top account holders in North America and Europe.

Honeyee is really blasting its audience with a high traffic of excellent features. Within the past week we’ve seen SS/08 for Levi’s Fenom and the Uniform Experiement. Now they present another hit with Number (N)ine SS/08. It may be the most impressive piece of all, the photography and capturing movement is excellent. Though a lot of the garments are more Haute Couture, they really make amazing photographic elements. Honeyee is really stepping itself up with these simultaneous features, maybe it has something to do with its paper-format success. We see a lot Visvim x Gore-Tex x (N)ine multi-faceted collabos in there, mixed in with lets say an “optimistic goth” imagery.
Check it out now at Honeyee.

Complex recently had an opportunity of asking Visvim Creative Director Hiroki Nakamura a few questions regarding Visvim’s place amongst the extremely vast footwear industry as well as consumer interest regarding independent sneaker labels.
