what did you apply it with, how long, and how did you get it off, just under running water?
Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

Thank you for your reply. But are there plans to do it?

How are they compared to the HC ones? Do you think they'd be worth the few extra bucks? Are the electronics decent in them?

The sport ones have a better fabric/stitching on the lower half than the HC ones. they are basically bottom half is a V2, and top half is a vinyl top collar.
They are also less stiff than the HC shoes. The soles will be the same however.

Good work.
It still looks though as the Red and Yellow are over powering the green.
Mr David should supply replacement updated LEDs as the current ones suck too much and are too bright overall.

Why can't you supply the replacement LED panels by themselves?
We can replace them ourselves.

You've got these options:
1.) Halloween costumes shoes
2.) Sport version shoes (same fabric on bottom half as a V2, but top half is vinyl and a bit short)
3.) Original V2 shoe, bulky toecap, and same electronics as the HC.
4.) A newer V2, called V2.1, it has a slimmed toecap and seems to use different fabric, more closer to a v3 fabric.
5.) An alternate V2, which has V3 fabric and a remote control lighting system with a light up strap. Its also in Black. The grey version however has a longer upper which looks deformed, so i wouldn't recommend.
6.) V3 shoe from Mr David. Most accurate to 2011 shoe so far, but seems to break easily in the electronics department. LEDs have been updated on the newest. Shoe is a bit too stiff overall, especially toe area. Its not as slim, smooth and sleek as original. Its also the most expensive replica.

I was just watching BTTF 2 last night and I believe you can see Marty's shoes lit up when he says no to Griff in the Cafe 80's and is about to walk out before being called a chicken.

I stand corrected, they ARE lit in the Cafe 80s.
So does that mean that the shoes light up in darker conditions? It's bright outside so they're off, but given a certain lack of surrounding light and they turn on?
Love that thought.
The interesting thing is that you can never see the yellow or red LED's on. Only the green.

Fantastic! I have only a few hours wear in the new panels but they are great! I actually wore them in a casino last week. It was funny watching everyone's eyes go straight down.

I wonder if that means they're showing the battery charge... Interesting indeed!

like just removing the inner soles finding the wire and doing the work there?

Airair, can you please update your scaled MAG chart?

Well yeah. The inverter and battery box was quite large for the movie and it looks like a single 9V battery was being used to power both shoes. The brightness of EL comes down to both volts/amps driving it, but also the area of the panel. 2 shoes is twice the area.
The idea of glowing in the dark is exactly how my GITD kits work. The issue is because they are passive and do not have electrical power to keep them bright, they fade out at night quite fast. But when I used to wear them during the day, they would exposed to sun light, then I'd go inside and they were super bright (even brighter than EL) for a few minutes before fading out. EL has the advantage of not fading out.
