just for those guys who missed this video, an original pair of screen used Mag's went on sale last month at Hollywood auction, pretty much in fantastic condition.
You can have a look at them here in this video:
You can see they lack any sort of stiffness on the top collars, they flare out pretty much same as the v2, pretty much because all they used was foam!
You can also see the grey fabric they used was simply wrapped around the shell, there was no inner layer of fabric, it was just on the outside.
On this one you can see the fabric has started to come off in a few places which makes it look slightly different to the 2011 RD release.
The way the grey fabric was glued on is actually exactly how I was glueing on some grey fabric on one of my test pieces.
You can also see the sock toe box which starts about an inch after the last lace/elastic. Also, look how tall the tongue is, that must be at least a few cm taller than the 2011 RD one.
The heel cup is also flatter at the back, doesn't seem to bulge out as much, while the Nike lettering is also less rounded.
The colour of the midsoles also seems to be a lighter shade of grey in comparison to the 2011 RD release. As for the splatter, its totally different to the way they decided to do it on the 2011 release. This movie shoe looks much better in my opinion. I think it is the lighter shade of grey on the soles which make it superior to the too dark ones on the 2011 RD and V2 releases.
The entire shoe looks perfectly proportioned when you compare it to the v2. The v2 just looks fat and bulky because its pushed too forward the gap between the laces and front toe is too short. I had to correct this from scratch on my custom template, its been quite the challenge!
When i get some more v2s later on, i'm going to rip them up and change them with my custom 2011 RD upper and some with a 1989 Movie style upper.
I will only have to tweak the 2011 RD template i've made very slightly.
