Sérieusement? 1500 $? C'est une blague.
I just heard back from lebronjames10 and adidascrazylights that I will be getting a refund. I will be tracking that.
I also got my refund from pickgoodshoes.
I look forward to seeing the 2nd batch shoes but don't hold out much hope for them being much better. In the meantime, I was paid to fix a pair of S02's that had a short in the lights, so it was interesting to see the "quality" of those. Yeesh! Personally I would be pissed off to have bought a pair of his first runs shoes. I took side by side comparison photos of his shoes and mine.

I'm looking to buy RDs now. That seems to be the only way I'll be satisfied.

I think one of the depressing things about the official Mags, is that a good majority of the people who bought them, got them because they were a "cool" shoe to buy. What with rappers and such wearing them.
I see most of the unboxings and reviews on YouTube from people who seemingly know nothing about the movies and just wanted them for their "shoe collection".
It's frustrating to see them in their hands rather than the treasuring hands of Back to the Future fans.
It's also frustrating when you know they have more money than sense, to be able to just fleetingly buy a pair at the prices they were selling them for!

Yup, you're right, but luckily there's a few of us who really are sad and obsessive BTTF fans ;-)

I want to buy the RDs and wear them everywhere. I don't understand shoe collecting at all.

Trust me, when you get them, you wear them once in the house then put them straight in the box. I said the very same thing as you before I got a pair, trust me....your opinion changes VERY quickly

Are they unwearable?

They're comfy as hell, suprisingly so actually, but when you actually see your bank balance/loan and then look at just how amazing they look, the last thing you want is even a speck of dirt on them as you could never remove it from the fabric they are made from.
If they were 200quid, i'd wear them all day long, but even then, they would get dirty very quickly. In this respect, the reps will be better as the fabric will be cheap knockoff stuff that will clean easily.
I think it would be a shame to make them dirty if they cost you like $6000 XD I'm just saying XD! I would be so annoyed if they had stains on the tongue or stuff like that xD

If they're comfortable, I'll wear them. The money spent doesn't bother me as much. But I appreciate your thoughts.
I need to win the lottery for that xD! I barely have £500 per month xD and need to pay rent and food and stuff like that xD

Il est un peu difficile quand vous êtes encore étudiant. Une fois que vous obtenez votre diplôme et trouver un emploi, vous pouvez budget pour des articles coûteux.

I sort of agree and disagree.
Instinctively, I'd like to buy a pair to just wear, as they were intended.
But if I paid thousands of dollars for them and they were all official, I imagine I would naturally become over protective of them. And die a little inside when I first damage them (which WILL happen. All shoes deteriorate eventually due to wear)
For me, idealy I'd get the official Mags to put on display, then some "good enough" replicas (such as the V2s or V3s) to wear as real shoes.

thanks yeah
they are looking great.
what spray paint did you end up using? and does it flake off easily?
on your black ones, how do you intend to do it?
Echoing some of the earl sentiments about real MAG owners in their videos...
Most of them think the orange card with a barcode is some sort of COA and do not even recognize its the license plate off of the Delorean.
If the real MAGs are released again by Nike all customers should have to complete a BTTF competency quiz.

That's only partly true. Though it's designed to LOOK like the license plate off of the hover-converted Delorean, the numbers don't match what was seen on screen.
The first four numbers on ALL of the license plates that came with the shoes are 6453. If you look at a a phone, you'll see that those numbers spell out NIKE.
The next 4 numbers on the plate is the unique ID number for THAT pair of shoes, from "0001" to "1510."
These numbers can be used to "register" the shoes on Nike's website. So it only looks like the license plate from the movie, it really is a sort of COA, though.
