Thats cool of him, I'd say scoop them up if you dont have the Fossil pair from the first release. You'll regret sleeping on these.

Being that I own a pair of both of them, I'm going to have to disagree with the quality of the Akats. The style of the shoe is very nice, but the quality of the materials and construction falls way short of Visvim standards. I had to glue the sole back on the bottom of my pair of Akats after about 4 wears. Luckily a little super glue and some pressure, they sealed right back up.

I'm not feeling this set like I was the last ones. Wish I could find the bitter chocolate pair of these.

sorry about your sole. i wasnt talking about construction, but since we are on the subject.
my brown pair white stitching has been through torrential down pours this summer in nyc......yes the leather broke through where the heel hits, but other than that and all the other pairs i own...5.......i have had 0 problems with construction or the sole falling apart. i wear these everyday.
i dont like hybrid shoes, and visvim most definitely are, and waaaaaaaaay overpriced....but again its my opinion.

I love the design and look of the shoe. I only have 1, haven't worn them yet. But I was bothered by spots if glue on the suede near the heel. Why use nice suede the ruin it with glue? Fortunatley it's in a very hidden place. I just bought my second pair (B. Chocolate) on eBay last night. I'll update you guys on the quality on that pair. As far as visvim goes I've only heard great things about the quality. When the only downsidebtp a product is the price, you know you have something good.

=[ it's ok I'm still hoping more will be showing up in the future. I want to see the newer ones. I'm liking the black and brown suede ones. I got zero pairs cause they keep slipping out my hands or are just too expensive at times.
