Japanese menswear brand visvim recently unveiled two new iterations of its 'VIRGIL BOOTS-FOLK' model, which boasts a rugged look that's versatile enough to be worn around the city streets, or deep into the wilderness.
The boots are characterized by their vegetable-tanned kangaroo leather uppers, which come in either a dark brown variation, or a lighter caramel-hued one. The uppers are complemented with laces that match the tones of the uppers, which are secured in place with gold rings that contribute a luxurious touch.
The VIRGIL BOOTS-FOLK models are finished off with cream-hued cushioned soles, which protrude from the uppers slightly to expose the statement stitching that connects them to the rest of the material that's used.
