Still prefer the old white midsole on the FBT Sad

Those latest 'dashed'/speckled shits were hideous!

Has Visvim ditched that awful sketcher-esque logo?

from hypebeast:

"The latest from Visvim is a series inspired by a famous Buddhist temple, the Jokhang Monastery which is located on Barkhor Square in Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region, China."

What these have to do with a Buddhist monestary is beyond me.

The fact that they're made out of suede leather, and I'm almost certain that Tibetan Buddhist monks are vegetarians, eating simple diets only adds to the irony.

lol @ all vegetarians.

My white midsoles are 'adam'd' so would wish to replace them. Don't want to replace them with brown midsoles, although probably easier to clean.

Also I think it changes the whole look of the shoe, used to be nice and clean looking (private), now they look somewhat 'hospitalised' like bandages(NHS).

well i really like the shoe but the brown doesnt look good imo..not much to choose between them and the spekkled sole ones.
I wouldnt wear them. they might be ok for you.
