Japanese Streetwear

Visvim is an upscale Japanese streetwear label founded by its Creative Director Hiroki Nakamura. Visvim is best known for its quality footwear, such as sneakers, FBT moccasins and boots that are suited for casual streetwear. Visvim is an independent label that thrives on a niche crowd that is searching for unique streetwear fashion that is handmade and offers unparalleled quality and attention to details. Visvim is sold online and can also be found in select retail stores around the world.

Visvim Concept and History

Visvim was started as a reaction to the mass produced footwear market. Visvim wanted to bring consumers everything that Nike, Adidas and Puma couldn’t. Visvim filled this void by producing niche based products like sneakers and boots. The company’s philosophy is to produce high quality goods that people will appreciate, similar to Dansko shoes. Visvim doesn’t style their products or market them to appeal to any specific crowd. They are not interested with identifying with any particular culture, ethnicity, nationality or urban street style. Simply put, Visvim is 100% focused on producing the best possible products that they can make, and leave it to the consumer to best find out where their products fit in with their lifestyle and wardrobe.

Visvim FBT and Other Shoes

Visvim started by producing high end sneakers and shoes. Visvim’s footwear are highly sought after because of their reputation for quality and unique design. Every piece of footwear that is produced by the company goes by Hiroki Nakamura’s watchful eyes to ensure that his customers receive the best possible product. Visvim produces shoes in many different styles and colors. One such style is their Hockney deck shoes. This style is popular in Japan and features a raised heel and high quality leather and laces. Like all Visvim products, the shoes are comfortable to wear all day long. The company also produces a fair number of moccasin style shoes. This type of footwear is supreme in comfort, and is suitable to wear with most outfits. Taking a different direction, Hiroki Nakamura also produces a large number of boots. This type of footwear is certainly beefier than the sneakers and moccasins of his other lines, but contain the same degree of comfort and quality. Other popular Visvim models include the famous FBT duck style shoes and WOLFE.

Visvim Clothing For Men and Women

In recent years, Visvim has taken their design and engineering expertise from the footwear world into the apparel industry and has produced a successful line of clothing. Visvim produces a popular Goretex M65 style jacket that blends outdoor practicality with streetwear sensibility. Visvim also produces a full line of men’s and women’s clothing, from shirts, pants, belts and other accessories. The hallmark of Hiroki Nakamura’s designs are the downplay of logos, slogans and graphics, and the focus on quality materials, cuts and designs. Visvim is about comfortable clothing that can be worn day in and day out for years to come.
