Las Vegas-based retailer Feature introduced the latest FBT collection by visvim designed for the Spring 2019 season. The capsule features a selection of footwear designs in five different colorways -- this includes black, sand, navy blue, red dirt, and camel.
The overall design draws inspiration from Native American footwear, specifically moccasins, which are ultra comfortable and soft in textile. All of the shoes are crafted by hand using premium materials such as suede and leather materials. The uppers will also sit on top of a Vibram sole foundation to deliver some study elements to the soft silhouette. The five colorways are all made from cow skin turned into suede, accented with leather laces, cork footbed, and leather lining to round out the entire design.
