Sneaker News hasn’t covered too many of Japanese avant gardists Visvim’s recent releases, but are they back on the scene now, this time in collaboration with adidas Originals? Put simply, the answer is ‘no’, but you can’t deny the connections this new Three Stripes collabo shares with that Native American-inspired brand. In fact, the Leaders 1354 x adidas Originals Forum Moccasin Mid can be seen to borrow from Visvim’s shrouded FBT chukka, a model that has on many occasions offered a similar frilly collar, and one that directly influenced a whole range of subsequent releases from other brands. This new pair goes with a deep brown leather whose blue embroidery accents give a clue as to some of the upper’s undertones, and they’ll be available this Saturday, December 17th straight from LDRS1354. via RegularOlTy
