Thanks. I'll use the reference pics you posted and see what I can get. It is just an idea at this stage.

I've had an idea for a couple years now actually to make a Marty BTTF II inspired costume. There supposedly will be an event here in L.A. next year to celebrate the movie. Heard it is going to be at the Universal Studios backlot, not sure about the details as of yet as it has only been talked about with friends. Just for the fact it is 2015 and I wanna have a fun outfit to wear to any BTTF events or cosplay events in general. I am a huge fan and own a Delorean. I will be getting either the HC store shoes or the V2 knockoffs from AliExpress and modifying them as most of you have here.
Thank you all for all your insightful tutorials, videos and photos on how to do the mod you're all awesome!

That would be something worth attending.
If you are going to buy replica shoes and mod them, then just buy the V2s and know you are at least 75% of the way there.

The HC stores one are great but I know I am going to have to deal with too much with modding them. The V2 looks closer to the original MAGs to deal with the mod.
What are the RD ones I've read about on here?
Yes, get the V2's. The HC's are an inch too short.
RD means Real Deal Mags. Meaning the real nike mags.

Coo! yes I plan too. I figure with the MOD I would need to do on the HC ones why not pay the extra 100 bucks and have less to do. I want the NIKE logo and correct straps on there. All that MODing you need to do to the HC shoes makes no sense to get them when you have to pay the extra money anyway to MOD them. I will be replacing the NIKE logo with the light up ones.

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a european supplier cause for $12,50 of product it's more than $50 shipping to France...
Or maybe someone here can sell me some spare inverters.
Thanks

Hi folks,
I'm considering trying a combination of the steam method and the re-gluing method for slimming the toe box down on my V2's and maybe the HC's as well. During the steam process you kind of muffin top the toe box and have a bit extra fabric, along with possible wrinkles. You could potentially tuck/re-shape and glue down that newly flattened fabric back down. Was thinking it could also relieve some of the tension on the toe sole too that happens in the straight gluing method.
Thoughts?
