this video is hilarious and very true, and the guy makes a good point!
Do Not Buy The Replica Air Mags!! - YouTube
Some of you people need to get a grip!
Ordering 8 and god knows how many pairs without even seeing these shoes or any pics yet!?
I know you guys are fans, but you need to get a grip on your emotions and think rationally.
People need to understand that the factory that made the 1st knockoffs, they could have easily made an exact copy of the official nike mags (with or without thei original shoe in their hand) with similar fabric and clear rubber soles but without any electronics, without a single hassle, and the cost of manufacture wouldn't be any different to what they ended up with.
The excuse that Nike would sue them was utter rubbish also. The fact they knockoff the most popular selling Nike's like Air Jordans without a single problem makes that excuse redundant.
But they actually chose to get Mark Poons shoe and make a copy of that (and an average copy of it mind you!, Mark Poon's soles are much better).
Like Many, I would be totally happy with a replica that has clear soles, and an improved upper section. The electronics is not such an issue.
Another thing you guys need to think about is the safety of these shoes! I'm not sure what type of battery they will be using. Lithium batteries in the soles which could hypothetically explode!
You have to hope that the wiring is safe and nothing dodgy is put in that might put your feet at risk!
I like my EL lights as much as anyone, but would prefer to keep my feet safe first!
I'm sure it will be a vast improvement over the 1st knockoffs, but you never know with these replica guys! they love to rake in money by providing sub standard stuff and then putting out multiple releases.
