Armin over at Voycontigo.de was kind enough to pass on the a few photos that were snapped at the recent (February 6 - 9, 2010) ISPO Outdoor Trade event in Munich. Here are the details:
Smartwool Classic Vibram Five Fingers

This is Classic Five Fingers model uses Smartwool for the upper, which is moisture-wicking, itchless, and anti-microbial. It looks pretty fancy, too!

There's been some scuttlebutt recently about a new Smartwool Classic Five Fingers that Vibram will be releasing in 2010 (Not yet sure when in 2010, but let's just guess Fall at this point!). What is Smartwool? It's apparently a treated wool that is itch-free, moisture wicking, and anti-microbial (wikipedia). From where I sit, I'm already digging the natural look of the Smartwool Classic (both the dark and light varietals), but you know I already think Classic Five Fingers are the best! I've been wanting Vibram to make some Classic VFFs in leather, but I'll take a pair of these in the meantime!
The Vibram Five Fingers Sport Trek

We just heard about the Vibram Five Fingers Sport Trek for Fall 2010 a few weeks back; here is another color combination. Note the TPU toe protection, the Achilles notch, and the Trek sole.
Moving along, we see an earth-toned color combination of the Vibram Five Fingers Sport Trek, which was recently unveiled at the winter Outdoor Retailer in Salt Lake City. The key features of the Sport Trek that set it apart from the standard KSO are the TPU toe protection (see the glossy covering on the toes); the Achilles notch, which should aid it's use for running; and the lightly cleated Trek sole that you get on the KSO Trek.
Vibram Five Fingers Performa Jane

Photoed here are new models for 2010: the Performa Jane (left, black) and a new color combination of the Vibram Five Fingers Sprint (right, auburn).
And then there's another shot of the Five Fingers Performa Jane. The Performa Jane has a svelte "Mary Jane" look. I kinda like the punched styling, but what do you all think?
A new Five Fingers Sprint color combination

A previously unseen new color combination for the Vibram Five Fingers Sprint, and earthy auburn and black.

We'd seen mock-ups of the black, grey, and camouflaged KSO Five Fingers before, but this is the first we've seen a real photo. Also, you get another shot of the Smartwool Classic VFFs here!
Here we get another look at some new color combinations for the KSO and Sprint. We'd previously seen the black, grey, and camouflaged KSO color combination, but this is the first I've seen of this earthy Sprint VFF color combo. Finally, see Voycontigo's post on ISPO 2010 and the new VFFs here (German) (translated). Thanks Voycontigo! So that's the latest. What do you all think?
