Can't see this image. It loads the top part just to the reveal the cuffs and then stops.

If I were to mod these it would be the ankle bubble and the EL if a fix to make them brighter comes out.

You can't really use a flash because it wash out the EL. Do you have a "cool" white light? The newer D6500K LEDs are awesome for this as they are "daylight" and allow you to capture true colours with a camera.
Ok so here are my shoes.
The box came with some dents on the corners, but the rest of it looks decent.
The shoes themselves feel great to hold. Very light, but sturdy. All the materials feel like nice quality. The soles are spongy. Mine unfortunately have defects on the Nike swooshes. There's imprints of where they messed up or something putting them on.
And some pink stuff on the collar on the right shoe.
But my biggest gripe is the charging port holes. They are very small and you have to mess with the cable a lot to get them plugged in.
Overall though I absolutely love these shoes. These will be strictly for display, so the defects aren't too noticeable.

Sorry about that. Yes they all work. No EL or LED defects. My camera doesn't capture the colors very well, but the EL is aqua.

how difficult is it for you to put the charger in ?
It took me more than 20 seconds to get each of them in if that helps. I want to take a hot needle or something to melt a little bit of the material so it's easier

Very sad. They have to shield the EL with their hands so you can see better that it's even on. Yikes....

As cavx said, it is because of the movie
and for the knees... That's just because every on feet picture that i can find is framed only on the shoes. And i'd like to see how the shoe looks in casual wearing condition. (This is not some kind of perv / fetish thing... Just want too see a real wearing picture ^^ )
thanks @cavx for the response on that
have you create the thread about the other Mag Project ?
@MitasTouch : how does the shoe feel ? Does the material feel hard like a boot or is it soft ? I mean do you feel like this is something that can be foldable or is there a rigid body into the fabric that holds the shape ?

It's soft and maluable. I have my bets in that the steam method would work if anyone want to slim the toe a little.

This is an AVATAR pic right here
I have to say at this point the GIANT RIBBING is what concerns me the most. Yes, I know that capital letters are like screaming. That's what the ribbing is doing to me. Was the V2 fabric that bad that this is an improvement? If David were to source a finer weave fabric and overdrive that EL a bit, these would be so full of win that my money would fly its own way out of my pocket and into David's wallet. As is, it's hunkering down watching with curiosity, as am I.

I personally don't think its as bad in person. Some of these pictures people are posting, I think the texture is creating somewhat of a Moiré effect making it look worse in the photos than in person. In my opinion this photo does the best job representing what the fabric really looks like in person:

Has anyone asked David about the dim ELs? I'm guessing it wouldn't be really hard to fix. I know most people would rather have like 12 hours of bright ELs instead of "4 days" of dim ones.

Are you guys really getting 4 days run time? Heck I am not even getting anywhere near 12 hours with mine. :unsure

That's why I put "4 days" with quotation marks. It says 4 days on their website but from what I've heard, that's not true.
