They? You mean us . Seriously does anyone wanna get on helping get these things designed. We have MORE than enough reference and MORE than enough interest.

I am going to attempt to sculpt the soles. I will need someone who can make a mold then cast these in clear rubber.

If you get the chance, it'd be great to learn more details on your replica-pair (materials used, light setup, switch location, dimensions... anything really... ).
My initial thought is to use foamies for the light-blue sections and laces/nike symbol/ankle-strap, padded fabric for the white inner portions, and for the sole... well... I'm not exactly sure. I expect they'd need to be sculpted, cast in rubber, then painted. The clear portions of the sole might be more difficult. Does anyone know if there's a durable clear-rubber substance suitable for casting?

As for the light-setup, I'll leave that to someone more qualified.

EDIT:
Just saw Jedifyfe's post above... Since he's taking a shot at the sole-sculpt, I'll see if I can dissect the construction of the shoe's-body. If anyone has fabric/material suggestions, let's hear 'em. :thumbsup

Smooth-On's dragon skin would be perfect, but it cures with alot of bubbles. I'd love to sculpt these, but wouldn't be able to get them doen for like a year :unsure

I'd be in for a set of these. They would be awesome with my (hopefully) davidyr1 2015 jacket

White elastic strips for the "laces"

Light Bluish-Grey neoprene for the main part

White leatherette with foam padding for the top ankle part (rim) and tongue.

New Pics....

this website has pictures about halfway down of the shoes. I think they are the ones in Nike headquarters. They are a little different.

Neoprene. Good call... :thumbsup
I'm thinking it might be better to use nylon-webbing for the laces with the ends attached to elastic strips hidden by the shoe-body. This would keep the laces solid/firm, while still leaving some stretch-room for different feet sizes.

I've never worked with leatherette, but after doing a short Google search, I think it definitely has potential.

in the ebay replica pair, the switch is located in the toungue of the shoe.

Hey hoverboy...I was WhatthehellisaJigowatt? over at the BTTFPARTS.COM .Let's try to get everyone over at bttfparts.com over here.... Let's keep in touch.

 

[hoverboy]

Okay. Good idea. Does Gary know about this site?

 

[Jedifyfe]

Yeah, Gary is a member here.

 

[hoverboy]

Cool.

I started making the left sole, size 10.5 the other day. I haven't been this motivated to make a prop in a long time. I am sure Fox's foot is smaller, but hey I can only use my feet for reference.

Which sort of brings to light an issue with making these: SIZE. Accurate replicas would be whatever size foot MJ Fox has and it would not be realistic to make these in a wide array of sizes.

Any insight and critique is welcome.

 

[Gordon Gekko]

Well look at you, you crazy monkey.. That's looking nice.

If I can assist let me know. I can provide any kind of laser engraving/cutting to make the logos etc. Many types of material can also be lasered.

Also, someone mentioned dragonskin bubbles - can it be pressure cast?

 

[hoverboy]

wow
impressive. i really like the heel cup think it looks great keep up the good work.

:eek :love :love :eek :eek :eek :eek :eek :love

THOSE LOOK FRIGGIN GREAT................

I WANT TO HELP......

Keep these as they are. It looks like you need to thicken the sides and the bottom and obviously mold the clear part of the soles....BUT MAN THEY LOOK ALMOST SPOT ON...........
