Also in terms of materials the shoe has been inspired by the car, with the upper made up of leather, suede and rubber on the heel. The shoe has been produced only one time and will be available at selected retailers around the globe this month in three colorways - cream, hot chocolate and black. Via Sneaker Freaker.

The newest model in the Visvim Holiday 2007 line-up is the Decoy Duck Boot. After a recent collaboration with Undercover on the boot, to introduce it, they have now released the in-line model of this winter boot. Boots of this style have been around forever, but we are pretty sure, that until now most of you did not consider wearing them. Visvim of course adds style to this classic and quality, by introducing hi end materials to the duck boot. We have actually already seen people wear them and it was not too bad. One thing is for sure, if you live somewhere where it gets really cold, or need something for your next snowboard trip, these are definitely as good as it gets.

The Visvim Decoy Duck Boot Hi comes in three colorways - beige, brown and black. Nice details include the premium suede upper, inner mesh lining, and the colored stripe to give them a bit of a twist.
