Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

I have to remove my old yellowing soles and save my el panel... I'm a bit nervous about that but really excited to receive your finest clear soles! Thanks.

So hopefully I can get these in the post tomorrow.

And just for interest, I thought I might document how I think the best way to attach these might be.

This pair is US9, but the same technique would apply to all sizes.

This sole has been laminated with a light grey rubber. The owner of the shoes is undecided if they want to change the colour of the mid-soles, so I have applied a light grey (the colour that the mid-sole should be) to the base so that if he decides to go light grey, the under the side of the soles will be light grey.

So I am going to suggest that you need to start with the pyramid tread base parts first. Again I am using Tarzan Grip, but you can use Shoe Goo or similar. Shoe Goo is way over priced in Australia and why I stopped using it. TG works well and is affordable.

So what I have done here is pour the TG onto the clear parts and I actually pressed the two clears to gether to make sure I have uniform coverage. I then separated them and paced them on their respective shoes. They slide whilst the glue is fresh but also coat the recess in the mid-sole. I have then peeled them off and let them sit on the work mat until the glue "tacks" (feels sort of dry). I then placed the clears back on the mid-soles and then pressed hard and stood the shoes upright. I will leave these set up over night as I am now out of glue :)

I will repeat the above steps for the inner wing and front oval part. I will not attach the outer wing until the EL is fitted.
Stay tuned tomorrow for the next part of the tutorial.

how are the parts of the clear sole stuck together? Are the glued like the sole is to the midsole? Are they likely to hold together if worn?

I have used a gel glue to attach them to the mid-sole and will probably drop in a bit of liquid superglue to join the parts. This rubber does glue well to the point it would will probably rip before the bond breaks.

Here are the base parts now glued in place.

Best part of this project is having parts that just fit.

Lol. I laughed more than I'd like to admit after recording. They're my old V2s which are dailys. I thought it'd create some entertainment on here as it was so obvious but some still believe power laces will be out next week :)
