They are the 2016s. I had the 2011s long enough to know. The right shoe is the biggest giveaway, the material is further back, and no toes would lift the fabric that much at the front as they weren't flexible. He was probably loaned them by Nike via MJF.

yeah I thought they were 2016's too, because of the raised 'lace equivalent' on one of the shoes, that would make them the power lace version 
Some people get all the luck.

I do realise these are a replica of the 2011 Mag which are a replica of the movie shoe. If you remember, I was one of the only ones saying that these are a replica of the 2011 release while others were clutching at straws & arguing that they were replicas of the 'movie prop', when the only lucrative market for the reps to attack is that of the 'sneaker-heads'. I would bet that David & his team couldn't care less about the BTTF fans.
While I totally understand where you are coming from, having once owned 4 pairs of 2011 RDs & 6 pairs of reps, I do believe that you shouldn't expect perfection. However, when you're paying a huge chunk of money for a product, it should at least function as it is supposed to from the factories. One has a right to reject if it is not. I know we're not dealing with consumer law here as they are essentially an illegal product, but whether or not that is the case, I'm sure a lot of profit is being made with these & therefore, if something is significantly wrong with a pair, e.g. lights not working before shipping, a good discount should be offered or a replacement issued. Where the defective pair ends up should be of no concern to the buyer.
We may agree to disagree but when you're parting with this kind of money, I'm sure dealing with a faulty pair would be a difficult pill to swallow.

It totally is, but when compensation is agreed to, then it is easier to swallow.
If he decides to take these shoes, then it is up to him to negotiate with the seller for a better deal.
If he rejects them (and he has full right to do so), someone else ends up with them. I'm suggesting he doesn't reject them based on how well the rest of the shoes look. There is hardly any excess glue on the uppers. Even from a display POV, this is a really nice pair.

Wasn't that pair used in the 'test wears" videos a US11/12? It is probably the same pair loaned to him.
It killed me that he called them "future shoes."
Because he's such a fan... I hate Seth Rogan.

I have to say, I am not a fan of his. Probably the best thing he did was the voice of "Paul".

Does anyone know Davids email?
I will say, though, during my time at MTV News he was nothing but nice. Cant say the same about Jonah Hill...
OK back on topic...
He preferes skype, but here are both:
skype: zhilongtrade

If it came from @davidjones888 then it's legit. He has a team working for him, and I've seen him post a few different addresses. You'll most likely hear from one of his associates. But he responds here too with you call him to the thread using the "@" symbol infront of his handle.

Well, I got a confirmation just now from "sneakerdesign@hotmail.com" as I finally ordered my upgraded V3s today.
If you're concerned, you can check the order number in the email against the order number in your sneakerahead.ru account.

Hope you didn't send money yet.
Working on a variation of the stand Nike made for their power laced MAGs.
Is the angle ok or too steep?
Personally, I think the Hover Board still makes one of the best display stands for these shoes.
And one day, the Tube Bag

I did only because I didnt know about this forum or his website. However, I've seen ties to that email as "David" dating back to 2015 in another forum (and attached to the same skype name). Hes been cooperative, and had good communication so far. Its just the other email hes using here makes me a little nervous.
