After having visited the Spring/Summer 2012 trunk show Union LA put together for visvim, the PATRICIAN-FOLK was the model not only I, but other patrons were very much attracted to. For Spring/Summer 2012, they decided to give the PATRICIAN-FOLK a linerless silhouette using a smooth, yet perforated cowhide leather upper which resembles a steel plate pattern, sitting atop a custom red brick vibram sole. The results are a beautifully crafted shoe, ready for those warmer months ahead. As always, socks are frowned upon. These will be available soon at your nearest visvim retailer.
