Sophnet...Another Day Another A

Looks like there's even more Sophnet collaborations scheduled for this summer. The Summer line reveals a collection of sophisticated contemporary classics which stress material and fit. Whenever you see or hear Visvim, you can be sure high quality materials are used. Aside from the retro boat shoe above, Sophnet and Gore-tex have made a collection of "on-and-offs"(slip on kicks). Among the interesting stylistic approaches are the sweat pant bottoms and crops.
