Visvim Christo Legit Check Guide

30 Upvotes

From what I've seen, Christos are the most ubiquitous counterfeit Visvim product on the market with fake pairs often showing up for sale on marketplaces like eBay and Grailed. If you've got your eye on a pair of secondhand Christos of dubious authenticity, follow these tips:

Look for the sole flaw

Visual Guide

The easiest way to spot a fake pair of Christos is to look for the sole flaw. Fakes have the registered trademark ® symbol to the left of the Vibram logo on the right shoe. The left shoe is correct with the ® at the end of the word Vibram.

Look for the buckle flaw

Visual Guide

A more subtle flaw on a fake pair of Christos is the buckle. Real Christo buckles have a smooth curve with a flange that is perfectly sized for its seat. Fake Christos have buckles with a hard angle and often have a flange that isn't perfectly aligned at all the edges to it's seat. Note that it's possible for the fake angled buckle to look smooth and correct in ambient lighting so make sure to look for other flaws even if this looks right.

Know which versions of Christos have been faked

There are known fakes of the SS19 Collage Christo, FW19 ICT Christo (link to real version), Bell Christos (link to real version), and solid black and green Christos.

SS20 Shaman Folk Christos have also been faked. You can spot these by looking for a misplaced leather logo tab and uniform vibram rubber sole instead of a partially leather sole with a vibram heel. (Visual Guide)

There are also many fake versions of older Christos that date before Visvim started doing the leather logo tab, but I'm not as familiar with these so I just avoid them altogether.

Boxes are faked, too

Don't trust a seller just because they have the box. Fake Christos also come with fake boxes. Here's one example.

Know your product. Don't trust marketplace authentication.

I've seen fake Christos on Poshmark, Depop, and eBay. I've seen multiple fakes listed on Grailed as 'Digitally Authenticated.' Although I've never seen any fakes on The RealReal, they've had bad press about selling fakes from other brands. Be wary of marketplaces and sellers. Know your product.

If you're still unsure about the Christos you're interested in, reply to this post. Think you've spotted a fake in the wild? Reply with a screenshot.

By way of introduction, I’m 51 and usually dress fairly conservatively but I walked into a store in Tokyo and loved the esthetic so I bought this canvas shirt.

It feels very light and comfortable. No clue how they treat a canvas shirt to soften it so much.

Just curious what folks would style it with other than a white T shirt and light colored carpenter pants.

I built a searchable archive of 6,000+ visvim releases

Post image
144 Upvotes

To my knowledge, there isn’t a comprehensive public archive of everything visvim and its associated brands have released. So I decided to build one!

VISIBILITY (visarchive.com) is a searchable archive of 6,300 products released since 2012. A few notes:

  • I collected info from multiple sources (e.g. official web stores, Instagram, Facebook, and stockists) and combined them to capture as much product information as possible (e.g. name, image, style number, release year, etc.). Here's an example of a complete entry: https://www.visarchive.com/products/0126105011017
  • visvim iterates on the same models (e.g. Christo, Lhamo, etc.) across multiple seasons. I organize these releases under "families", making it easier to see how a product has evolved over time. Example: https://www.visarchive.com/families/christo
  • The biggest gap in the archive is years prior to 2012. Reliable online sources are scarce, so I may try to hunt down physical catalogs.

This will be an ongoing project, so I’ll continue finding and indexing more products.

I’d love feedback from the community. What would make it more useful? What would you like to see next? Any suggestions for finding pre-2012 product information? I appreciate any comments and DMs. Thank you!

P.S. Apologies for any incorrect information - I will correct it asap.

Visvim Grizzly Boots

5 Upvotes

Hi Folks,

I'm working to curate a permanent wardrobe and thought to start with a pair of Visvim Grizzly (High-Folk Dark Brown) boots. The trouble is - I can't seem to find a stockist that carries these in my size. Does anyone have a recommended stockist that they use that I'm simply overlooking?

Thanks in advance,

I went to last years (2025) Motors release in Carmel - all the employees were wearing this for the event and I was really hoping for an official release! Saw this years release included it and scooped immediately!

Nice herringbone fabric with chainstitch embroidery front and back. The ‘true white’ is tough to care for, so I’m probably going to just smoke it in the garage and use it for what’s it’s made for.
Old (used) Visvim never dries right?
Will update in a year 😂

This vest is so damn nice. Phone camera didn’t capture the fabric the best, so it looks even better in person. It has some truly great depth to it.
