nice. how you like the white high top sneakers?

 

[impolyt_one]

mine are already filthy, but look nice casually. Not huge on the tongues, but they're a nice change of pace yet familiar since I've always liked my other MMM sneakers.

More wearable (by me) than RO and other hypertrophied sneakers. They'll be my daily "beaters" as I had to throw away my old pair of white hi-tops. If the padded tongue really annoys me I'll have some of the padding removed. Not sure about the boots, impulse purchase. I like the MMM boot shape and white so I just picked them up without thinking about it.

IMO, can;'t go wrong with any mmm boots. have my eye on the rubber ankle zip ones. i've worn the sneakers indoors for an hour and have been afraid to wear them outside because i have 3-4 days left to return them. if they were all leather like the f/w ones, there'd be no question i'd keep but the suede bugs me a bit

if i could find white RO high tops in a 46, i'd buy those to go with my black ones and never buy another pair of sneaks. the ro have been good to me for everyday use

If you're unsure return them. Margiela will release hi-tops every season. I got both pairs for 50% off so that might explain the impulse boot buy.

I posted this in a seperate thread but here are some pictures of an Ernest Alexander bag I bought. Ernest was first class and sent a personalized email and note with the bag. Great buying experience. /end plug

they rescinded the sale price on these at mmm nyc because they will now be carried over.

Wow, looks great, I love when companies go that extra mile with service to ensure its perfect. The prices are really reasonable on those assuming they are as well made as they looks. How's the quality in your opinion?

 

[StephenHero]

It looks extremely well made. It could probably withstand a Panzer. I think the streamlined options of the same classic style bag in different colors and finishes help keep the costs down. I'm curious if they'll come out with a new line of bags.

Margiela houses are great to find the pieces you really want (full price) but they're not the best for sales.

StephenHero, that bag looks excellent. And you've got to respect service like that. It doesn't take much, but it goes along way!
