032 Interview w/ Hiroki Nakamura of Visvim
One of your iconic products is the FBT shoe. What’s the history behind this product?
I created the FBT shoe in 2001, during Visvim’s second season. The inspiration came from a Fun Boy Three record cover, which Hiroshi Fujiwara showed me. He pointed out lead singer Terry Hall’s moccasins, and suggested I do something like that. I did some research on it, and decided to combine the traditional moccasin with an EVA Phylon midsole used for trainers. I also used primitive Elk leather, which was commonly used for American Indian moccasins.
Each time i see someone rockin the UC diaplex parka i get a lil upset with myself for selling itmike fuckin’ lowery
This is so perfect. Damn.
