i second that. I have the same problem...

I easyly fixed this,
Did apply with a glove a thin layer of this glue to don't see any glue coming out of the logo when you put it back into place.
Fixing the swoosh is the easiest part because you can easyly handle it but sticking the nike mag letters is another hard work so i just did fix the letters that tend to not stick enough.

After 3 walks, the side led panel of a shoe is lighting only and i push hard on the ground with this shoe, it feels like there's a wire cut or badly connected i'm gonna open the sole and see if it can be fixed without solding ...

See if you can pop off the heel cup. Use hot air (a heat gun) to melt the glue and the cup should come away enough for you to see the wires. They run from the lights around the cloth to the middle and then go down into the sole.

That one's long gone. I didn't think the mutilated remains would be of any use to anyone. The right shoe is up for sale on eBay at the moment.

Your kidding right? You selling one shoe?

Can anyone point me in the right direction for the paint used on the soles?

::shrugs:: I really don't have a use for just the one, and I wouldn't mind taking that money and reinvesting it in some other projects. If it doesn't sell, it doesn't sell.

someone should do a youtube tutorial for HC transformation. all the ones on youtube are just from china fakes. i wasnt to know how to do this on a HC mag. i was looking to do this transformation this summer before halloween. if anyone could help me or redirect me to a HC video, that would be great.

No one bothered with the video for the HCs because all the guys that made their video bought those "just from China fakes" which are more accurate than HC anyway.
The mods are the same. The HC has a slightly different shape, but the technique is the same.

I've done the iron/steam toe slimming method and it looks so much better! But am I the only one who now has squished up toes?? I know it sounds obvious but I haven't read anyone else mention this.

Losing space in the toe box is a bi-product or a toe slim and happens to all these shoes. It does feel different at first and I remember thinking if I had made the right choice when I did mine. They do loosen up over time, and I am glad I did that mod. In time, I will do a true sock toe mod.

Yeah I've gotta say they did loosen up a bit after a while. They do look a million times better after doing the toe slim though so it's worth a few swished toes.

Which colours of the Angelus paint did you all get for the soles? It's pretty pricey in the UK so don't want to get the wrong ones.

Here is my colour reference chart for the MAGs.

There are RAL(?) numbers as well for paints, but I don't have them on hand.

That's great, thanks cavx. I've gone with light grey and turquoise Angelus paints. Without any mixing these seem to be a pretty close match.

Your welcome. You might be lucky to find the right light grey. I did, but the paint I used peeled off the rubber, though the paint would stick perfectly to vinyl. When I mixed the rubber to do mine, I used the paint as a color reference.

When placing the swoosh on the HC Replicas are you guys just gluing them straight over the ribbed sides or is there any other way to have it sit more flush? I tried the steam method but the ribs are still very bulky and hardly noticed any difference in shape.
