Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

yup saw a pair with 49 bids at $900 this morning smh. Horrible.

It's now at $1,025, (and will probably go for $3-4k) I assume people were giving him crap because it was listed as "100% AUTHENTIC" now they are listed "as-is" "deadstock"...like that is suppose to make passing them off as real okay. I just hope whoever gets them spots that they are fake and it backfires on him.
 
Bttf is the reason i'm a sneakerhead LOL. At one point I had over 18 pairs of Air Force I's, even customizing a few pairs. I got the MP MAGs just before the 2011 auctions started, nobody questioned where I got em and they didn't ask the price, they just knew I had some insane way of getting them :lol After I got the V2s, everyone thought they were my same pair of MP's! So if/when I get the V3s, nobody will be able to tell, unless I show them all the differences.
I tried selling my V2s on a facebook group, bad idea. They lurked my page and found the handmade pair of MAG inspired shoes I made with corduroy and blasted me for selling a homemade pair of shoes for $200. Then everyone was an expert on MAG replicas because the HC/Universal version came out. Even then I had to let them know my V2s were not the HCs, they claimed the single difference was the box :facepalm
 
So after taking with them I asked for a new pair of mags because of the spot near the nike logo and the sketch EL set up. They didn't question and said 2-4 for photos of a new pair. we will see what happens
 
WOW fakes are running wild on Ebay right now. in Jedis video one thing he didn't point out thats a dead give away is the mid sole shape is way off. Cavx I believe pointed that out to me. But wow things are getting crazy. I hope more people will find out about the knock offs before they spend a crap load on these.
 
Check this out guys. I called a guy out for selling fake mags and he told me he paid a lot for them and took them to some place to get them authenticated. After I asked to see the number of what mags they were I noticed that he had two different photos of mags listed and stolen the photo of the legit mags and mixed in the knock offs. I then sent him another message saying never mind I spotted what he did with the photos and Said you know what your doing I won't waste my time. Here's what he said in response lol

In the video where Cavx screenshot the two next to eachother, the shoes are not on a level surface, so they're at two different angles. Jedifyfe did say the midsoles are exact, I would take his word over looking at a screenshot where the two cant be fully compared because they are not at the same exact angle. We know these arent 10,000% exact to the 2011 versions, we cant stop every single ebay scammer, some people will get ripped off. People are still getting ripped off buying the unmodded V2s for over $500, thats just how things go unfortunately. Many people with $$$ dont notice the differences, and they pull the trigger, it'll be even crazier once the powerlaced knockoffs hit the web!
 
I am planning to travel to China ( Guangzhou ) like 2 years ago and the year before. I think seriously to meet john and his team in Fujian in possible.
it will can be an opportunity to meet these people face to face and get to know them, see how they work ( if possible ( I am already enter in factories but not everyone who accept ! ) and maintain a climate of respect and trust for the future! this experience seems fun to try .
What do you think ? I promise you nothing but it is part of my plan ....

Awesome. When you land at the airport, don't buy the coffee. It is terrible and expensive and big bowl of noodles is like 1 Yuan more. I really should have got the noodles.

Good luck meeting them. Being a westerner, I didn't have the easiest time getting into factories but when I did, I got to see some stuff that blew my mind. My visit had nothing to do with shoes, but I was very tempted to ask about getting custom stuff done whilst I was there. Of course at the time, I did not have patterns or the knowledge about the shoes I have today, so maybe just as well.

I could see that they were at different angles, and why I worked off the peak of the heel cup wing.

Please somebody with both shoes prove me wrong. I want to know these are right, but from every shot I have seen, the inner wave is the same as the V2 which is wrong and for the money and the tech that would have been used to create these, not good enough to go throw near $900 at them.

Hi Jedifyfe what is the consistency of the midsole like? Is is soft and spongy like the V1's or hard like the V2's?
Is the density (haha not a deliberate in-joke) about the same as the real version?
 
Strap is badly made and not well glued.
The paint on the nike heelcup as you noticed, go for another pair or a big discount, the nike logo on the heelcup can be easyly fixed ;)
