What's the exact website for v2??
Thanks
Thanks
The shoes. First were the MP shoes, the 2011s, the V1s, and now these V2s.
There are a few. One manufacturer makes them and a handful of sites sell them.

Heres a lot of pics in sole collector of the original 80s mags and I think that is negative.in flicker you can find photos of people who would can visit the first day presentation of the mags( inside was a "museum" of BTFII props), and one of that props was the mags with the cable plug for the batteries and big inverter.the soles piramids is inverted in that prop.

Don't forget the original back in 1989. Everything after that has been a replica including the 2011 NIKE MAG.

I went with shoesbagonsale - The biggest replica sneaker shoes with major site - cheap nike shoes sale online because they take PayPal.
I wasn't about to give my credit card number to a Chinese website.

Thanks cloneprops. I don't the link is working. It is hard to tell. I need to watch that YouTube video of the "unboxing" of a RD MAG. I am sure the guy make comment about the soles and the shoes being "not a basket ball shoe".
If someone can get me pictures of some of those from the SAME ANGLE -- Like the MPs before and after conversion, the V1s (since mine are in pieces) and CloneProps -- I will put the composite together.

When I did mine, the site seemed to auto generate the email which came quite fast.
I wonder how long it takes for images to be posted on Facebook?
I work with Chinese factories all the time & I've come to the conclusion that these v.2 manufacturers don't have the original MAGs on hand as reference but build it based on pics, these people can reverse enginneer anything if they have the orginal on hand & all materials can be made from scratch with absolute accuracy if they wanted to...
Things that I like:
1) fabric
2) upper leather white part
3) swoosh
4) midsole texture
5) clear soles
6) heel cup with MAG and NIKE molded
7) splatter
8) clear ankle bubble with the LED's installed
9) waffle pattern inverted
10) laces under the fabric
11) height of the shoe
12) more accurate ankle buckle
13) leather tongue
Things I wish were better
1) toe box (which I can fix)
2) EL in sole and strap (which I can fix)
3) flaired out clear sole
4) finger pull loops with no stitching
So yeah...I would say the positives WAY out number the negatives.

Looking forward to an unboxing vid of these. They are a massive improvement over the v1's and for the price you can't really grumble. Even someone like myself being a light modder, I've spent some serious money in personal r&d to try and make an accurate pair. I'm still waiting for a kit from s02 although he says they've been shipped.

none of these wholesalers actually have the shoes in their hands yet!
And almost none of them have even seen these pictures I posted up, which i find a bit funny!
In about 2 or 3 days I was told, the wholesalers will get them and they will be able to ship out, and then you will see some more pictures, proper prices and stuff listed on those many websites.
I don't know how many shoes they have made, but there should be plenty enough for people to get multiple pairs.
Some wholesalers are a bit greedier than others it seems, putting prices higher than others, but most should be reliable to buy from and around the same price at a $100 or so bucks, especially as lots of people have put reviews of their purchases on youtube.

I have to agree with that Mark. I do wonder why they have made the collars the way they did? When I owned a pair of your shoes, they didn't have the seam on the collar and even my own pair (and I've never made shoes before) didn't need that seam.

Mine didn't auto generate so I clicked the chat button. The customer rep (Vicky) took care of it and got the paypal invoice sent to me within 5 minutes of the chat.
