Mastermind Japan x Visvim FBT Elk
March 17, 2008
Mastermind Japan and Visvim FBT Elk have collaborated together to create the Visvim FBT Elk. This edition has black and white colorways. You can check for stocks at Ology.
First, we discuss about the white colorway. The outstanding feature of the shoe is the large flap around each ankle. On the top edge of the flap, there are decorative shoe laces. You can choose to tie them in any way you want and this is a simple way of changing the look of the flap. On the bottom edge of the flap, there are metal pins embossed with the Mastermind logo on them. There is a keychain with a leather tag and a paper tag attached at one of the shoe lace holes. The large paper tag wishes to make a statement about the Mastermind logo. The size draws attention to it and it definitely makes its presence felt. There is a small section of black at the midsole around the heel. This is the only black accent for this shoe.
I prefer the black colorway. It is almost identical to its partner in the white colorway. I think the metal pins are more outstanding against the dark leather. The midsole is white and a nice contrast against the black colorway. This edition of shoes would be well received by fans who like tassels, pins and a cowboy look.
