NIKE MAG Knockoffs

[AlexBC]

I understand that even big companies have delays with products and that it seems that they're trying to get things just right but it's really pissing me off to constantly come up to the date of delivery to have yet another one week delay.

Honestly, these delivery dates now mean nothing to me. I'm not expecting it when they say and I expect a similar email next week and until they (hopefully) come out.

The mags are a difficult shoe to replicate. lets hope it is just fine for a cosplay and if they are taking some extra time at the factory. It must be for a good reason. Some pictures will help while we wait. like the ones posted by airair like two weeks ago.

Did I read someone here had a tracking number from one of these sellers?

 

[AlexBC]

Not sure about tracking numbers. I heard that a couple people had confused the order number with tracking numbers.

I still don't get how they could be working on fine tuning something. That would surely mean that none of the shoes are anywhere near a completed state.

I think these guys can come out with sth really decent if not perfect but they dont have an original pair so that makes it hard for them. Hopefully they are trying their best to sell as many as possible.
I dont think they will be perfect but having seen the pics of the suppossed factory sample.... they are in the right way.

A little off topic but I think you should see this nonetheless (ebay)

I just wish that they'd stop updating us with delivery dates and just say something like "some time in the 4th quarter of 2012". I was really looking forward to what was shown this week but now it's another week of waiting in fear of another delay...which I fully expect to happen come this time next week.

Then everyone would be emailing them with - can you please tell us when in the 4th quarter?

True. I just find it hard to imagine that they'd not be able to anticipate these kinds of changes within such a short space of time.

Why did they not get them right the first time :behave

Lets be realistic for a second here:

The lights WILL fail a week after wearing them, and they WON'T have any form of EL. Those pics WILL be the final product.

As for the pros:

For that price, you are getting a very accurate pair of Mags. They are sooooo way ahead of any other replica currently mass produced and with a little toe adjustment, aesthetically, they look great! :thumbsup

Which has me asking what they could possible be working on that has delayed them this many times.

I'm going to stay with electrical issues. Hopefully they also lit the strap, but I very much doubt that.

In the meantime, I am doing a mock up and exploring the possibilities of "power laces". For right now, it will be manual but hopefully the mechanics will work the same way as the shoe in the film made us believe it did.

 

[Minok]

hey Cavx, I'm in the same boat, waiting for my V2's, I'm hoping they are re working them, using a more authentic cloth and a better toe, oh the toe! and i've also been thinking about a power lace idea, i'll scan in a scetch, but the general idea is that there is a loop of elastic, or rubber that runs under the sole and up each rib, which is then attached to the lace, which are not elasticated. They would have to be pulled to 'load' or stretch the elastic, held in place, and released. I'm actually thinking that low tech may work, only a couple of issues, in the lace open state, the elastic would actually be taught, and i have no idea what the catch would be like!

 

[cavx]

Yeah please post that. I am interested in all points of view on this. I am actually looking into a spindle of sorts that winds the excess straps up. They are already attached into the shoe on one side and I am just looking at how I exit them on the other side, and what to use a runners for them inside the shoe.

The real date is 2015 ! Just wait three more years ! What is the problem ? :lol

 

[AlexBC]

Come to think of it, the email quoting another week may even be referring to the extra week we're currently in. Let's see what tomorrow brings.

(Hoplessly kidding myself)

 

[cavx]

No the real date is November 14, 2012 :lol

Sorry couldn't resist

 

[javihidalgo78]

I want to be optimistic and I still think they are going to look good once we have them, and in the worst case scenario, we can get some help to modify them thanks to some experts here!

Does anyone know what's on the DVD that came with the RD Mags. I've been collecting videos and things to create one for myself, but I have no idea what's on the official one.
