Generally, you don't find the basic color (brown/black) in that shape outside of large sizes, unless it's a weird one with treated soles or scored leather, for that price on Yoox. They have a lot of other side zips, not that shape though.



You can reliably find black mmm sidezips at yoox every season for <$500 once they start markdowns.


Yoox preview / private room always has the black side zips in normal sizes but they go within a day so they never make it to the public site, similar to white MMM GATs or something like that

You just have to check often around the time they start their markdowns. I've bought 3 pairs of "normal" sidezips 2 brown, 1 black (no treated soles, thin soles, textured leather etc) all for <$450 each. Cheapest was in the mid $300s and they generally have a range of sizes but they go fast.

I have never heard of this brand, but this looks pretty cool.

Found it in NYC months ago. Also saw the lookbook, featuring my man - Eric Cantona

I guess I just don't understand side zips! :)

Not advisable for fatties. Zip boots I mean. I like those personally.

I think those look pretty good, subject to the following caveats:

- I cant make out the color real well as I am at the beach and it is a bit bright, but in theory light creme suede boots are pretty cool in my book if you know what you are doing.
- I cant see the toe shape from the top, which is critical.
- They will get filthy fast
- I have no experience with MJ boots.
