H&M x Margiela Collaboration - Page 33

I had dismissed the side zips as well, but the massive shift in group think convinced me to check them out today.

Surprisingly not bad. I took a few shots for comparison with some MMM sidezips I had in a similar color. Toebox is slightly more rounded/pointy. Not bad for beaters though.

Also managed to find a pair of the elusive chocolate brown H&MxMMM sidezips.

Thanks for the post. Is the zipper just as shitty on the mainline mmm? That's my biggest complaint. Otherwise its hard to spot the difference.

Wait...there's a chocolate brown pair?!

Zipper is the same shitty YKK, but ironically, on the H&M pair, the leather of the zipper placket is flimsier and makes it easier to zip fresh out of the box.

edit: double post

i dig the white ones, not something that will get a ton of wear, but for the price i'll beat the shit out of them when i go out or something, and see how they look worn in.

first pair I ordered at full price (returned when they went on sale, probably wouldn't have kept for full price anyway) had a rougher finish than the new ones i just got. The paint on the new ones feels glossier and more 'on there' if that makes sense. The first ones had more of a sandpapery finish. kinda preferred the first ones to be honest.

Will the black side zips fade to a more dark/steel grey with wear or to a darker, more uniform black?  Basically, is the distressed coating/treatment just that and will it fade away or will it get more distressed with time?  Really diggin grey-ish side zips right now

+1, didn't even realize the bottom had fell off and I wore on the heel a bit. Gonna go to the cobbler later this week.

?!?!?!?!?!?!??!

^ that's what I'm wondering also!

Don't think he's talking about the H&M collabs.

The brown pair is mainline.

Weird, I didn't see any brown side zips for sale anywhere this season

Don't own any MMMs can anyone recommend a size for me for the H&M collab side zips? thinking of picking up a pair for beaters
