I'd say given them time to wake up and have a cup of coffee except they don't drink coffee and if you ever go to China, I suggest you don't either. Terrible stuff in that country
I will buy the clear soles from anyone who wants to replace them on their pair of V2s. And does anyone know how to do the splatter effect accurately? And what I mean by that is have splatters that streak thin and not just blobs. I remember reading that Punisher said that steel wool works, but he hasn't showed anything.

I think to get the blob and streak effect your after, you will need to load paint into a small container that has a very small hole in the bottom. The size of the hole will depend on how runny the paint is. The thinner, the smaller the hole. Then holding it up away from the shoe, move the container around over the top and let the drops and runs fall where they may.
Punisher did post images if his work BTW. He has his own thread, so you will need to search for that one.
Given that cloneprops, SO2 and myself are the only guys to have done clear soles using clear elastomers, I don't like your chances of just buying a pair.
The V2 soles are closer in shape to the RD MAG, meaning cloneprops are the only ones that might fit. SO2's clear sloes are made for the MP MAG, so if you really want a set of clears for your pair, then he is the guy your need to contact.
I have come up with a way to change the shape of the MP midsole to any shape I want, so all I have to do it make it to the shape of the V2 soles and I'm good. I recently told S02 about the method with hopes that he would consider implementing it in his shoes to sell so people will get an even better product, but he hasn't said anything back yet. Also Punisher hasn't posted clear enough pics to examine the midsoles.

Care to share this method?
The bastards! AlexBC predicted this might happen. If that is the case, I won't be getting these shoes.
I ****ing called this a few pages back. This had better be a misunderstanding.
I've been following this forum since pg 54 and just registered a min ago on the rpf after getting the same message djvinx received from pickgoodshoes.. I would use his quote in this post but I'm an fng.. and way too flustered about the possibility of having to pay an extra $150.. advice?

Laws of attraction?
Absolutely
I have actually posted something about it a few pages back, but I didn't go into much detail. This time I will. It's all possible with a product called Surgu. https://sugru.com/ It's a rubber putty substance that can be molded into any shape, cures at room temperature, and stays flexible. There's no grey so you have to mix white and black until you match the color of the mid sole.
First you use a little math to get a picture of the side of the shoe sole you want to replicate to the ratio of the shoe you want to mod. This can work from pretty much any shoe. It's really simple math. Cross multiplying stuff.
Then you print out the picture of the side of the sole and cut it out. Make sure to cut away the the rubber part where the EL would go so you end up with just the mid sole piece. Now line it up with the modding shoe and draw on it where things need to be cut and cut it with a razor blade. Also use the printed out sole as a template for the entire shape to cut out of the putty. Then cut off the pieces from the Sugru that you made with the template to match the pieces missing from the sole. You might have to use some glue to attach them, but I'm not sure. Try to blend it so a seam isn't so visible. Make sure it's all smooth and let it cure And you're done

A few things could happen. Looking at the product images, Id say they have invested a fair amount of money to make these shoes, so they will want to at least re-coupe their costs.
If enough people are able to hold their wads and say no to the price increase, we may just come out of this with our shoes for the money we've paid. I am betting some will just say OK and pay the difference which will stuff it for everyone else.
They could turn around and say no money no shoes and we keep your payment.
Or they might just refund knowing that someone else will pay more for them.

You could be onto a winner here MitasTouch. Good find.
