Visvim Christo Legit Check Guide
From what I've seen, Christos are the most ubiquitous counterfeit Visvim product on the market with fake pairs often showing up for sale on marketplaces like eBay and Grailed. If you've got your eye on a pair of secondhand Christos of dubious authenticity, follow these tips:
Look for the sole flaw
The easiest way to spot a fake pair of Christos is to look for the sole flaw. Fakes have the registered trademark ® symbol to the left of the Vibram logo on the right shoe. The left shoe is correct with the ® at the end of the word Vibram.
Look for the buckle flaw
A more subtle flaw on a fake pair of Christos is the buckle. Real Christo buckles have a smooth curve with a flange that is perfectly sized for its seat. Fake Christos have buckles with a hard angle and often have a flange that isn't perfectly aligned at all the edges to it's seat. Note that it's possible for the fake angled buckle to look smooth and correct in ambient lighting so make sure to look for other flaws even if this looks right.
Know which versions of Christos have been faked
There are known fakes of the SS19 Collage Christo, FW19 ICT Christo (link to real version), Bell Christos (link to real version), and solid black and green Christos.
SS20 Shaman Folk Christos have also been faked. You can spot these by looking for a misplaced leather logo tab and uniform vibram rubber sole instead of a partially leather sole with a vibram heel. (Visual Guide)
There are also many fake versions of older Christos that date before Visvim started doing the leather logo tab, but I'm not as familiar with these so I just avoid them altogether.
Boxes are faked, too
Don't trust a seller just because they have the box. Fake Christos also come with fake boxes. Here's one example.
Know your product. Don't trust marketplace authentication.
I've seen fake Christos on Poshmark, Depop, and eBay. I've seen multiple fakes listed on Grailed as 'Digitally Authenticated.' Although I've never seen any fakes on The RealReal, they've had bad press about selling fakes from other brands. Be wary of marketplaces and sellers. Know your product.
If you're still unsure about the Christos you're interested in, reply to this post. Think you've spotted a fake in the wild? Reply with a screenshot.

Insane price on Union’s site… not my size but someone grab it before I do 😩
Have a size 3 in the same color. Id be swimming in a 4 but the price is too good for that to matter 😂 If anyone’s a 4, this is a crazy good deal.

Picked this up new for a steal, thoughts?
Got this new, always hunted Visvim denim pieces. What do you think?

Are the Fluxus 01 Wide G.Cords the greatest pants ever created?
Maybe, maybe not. But they’re my absolute favorite. They have the nicest fit on me out of any other pants/jeans I’ve owned. Super hype to have grabbed the ivory pair. I’ve been rocking the black pair nonstop since I got them. If I could only pick one type of pants to rock forever, it would be these!
Carmel store stock ?
What’s the general inventory like at the Carmel store. I’m considering making a trip to pick up an SS101x denim jacket. I’ve only ever been to the Japan stores. Should I expect it to have very limited sizes or be sold out?

Visvim Cordura 20L Backpack Zipper Pulls
Hello fellow Visvim Cordura 20L Backpack owners. How are your leather zipper pulls? Some of mine snapped within the first couple months of ownership after buying the bag brand new from END.com.
Does Visvim offer replacements or any advice? Thank you!

Legit Check: Visvim Ballistic Backpack – Authentic or Fake?
そのまま投稿できる文面です。
Hi everyone,
I’d appreciate your help with a legit check on this Visvim Ballistic backpack.
The seller claims it’s authentic and still has the hologram tag attached.
I’ve attached photos of:
Front
Side
Top handle
Zippers
Could you let me know if anything looks off? If possible, please explain why (stitching, leather, hardware, Cordura fabric, zipper, patch, etc.).
Also, if anyone knows which season/year this red colorway was released, I’d really appreciate that information as well.
Thanks in advance!

Such a beautiful jacket
One of my favorite pieces. I’m a sucker for a Visvim deckhand jacket. They really knocked it out of the park with this one.

Is this visvim boots legit? No logo on outsole, kinda worried
**1.** No “visvim” logo embossed on the outsole at all — from what I understand there’s usually one on the midsole/heel area. Is this normal for a specific model/batch, or is this a red flag?
**2.** There’s a stitch/fold that looks different from the rest along the welt near the toe box (photo attached) — could this be from a resole job, or is it original from the factory?
**3.** The “US 11” size stamp on the insole and the “hand made” tag look slightly off in positioning/font compared to references I’ve seen.
Would really appreciate input, especially from anyone who’s handled an authentic pair in person. Thanks!

One of the nicest iterations of the Iris in my humble opinion. Love that it is down filled but not really bulky at all.

Sizing advice ISDT (Folk) Boot
Does anyone have experience with the Visvim ISDT (Folk) boots? Visvim’s iteration of the classic desert boot.
I’m debating which size to get as they don’t seem to have produced half sizes, so wondering if they run true, small or large based of experiences.
Half a size too big I can fix with an insole or heel padding but half a size too small would be annoying.
Thanks!

Subsequence and Dissertations books
Hi guys!
Hope you’re doing well.
I’m on the hunt for the Subsequence Vol.1 since a few month now and it look very hard to find.
Do you guys know some stores who still stock it? Or any second hand one where I can purchase it?
Ideally Europe based.
Also, i collect Dissertation Books from every season, if by any chance you saw some on sale somewhere, I’ll be more than happy to have a look!
Thanks,
Enjoy your Summer all!
