Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

[Spyhunter2k]

Fair enough, my memory is failing xD! Well these never went down in price then, so I still doubt these V3 will..

The original selling price of the V2s was indeed $100, but BEFORE any of them actually shipped the sellers upped the price and sent us all emails saying we needed to pay more. So no one actually got them for the initial $100 price.

EDIT: looks like MrSouthpaw beat me to the punch.

Also, the V2s did come down in price after release, from around $260 to around $200-225, but only after being out a year or more if I recall correctly. Brad can probably comment more specifically on that.

Checked both pairs, Only flaws were one shoe in each pair had the swoosh "misplacement", which was the right shoe on each pair. wasn't bad at all. And a very small piece of the fabrics thread was pulled near the side. its not noticeable 1ft away though so its no problem. And also with knit type shoes it's more than expected.

I agree completely. the v3 will not see a major drop. If you want them, plan to spend right around $600...even a year from now.

No it hasn't. You remembered right. It's in the old V1 topic. V2 were being offered for $99, then the sellers would withhold the shoes until the buyer paid more.

They were being initially offered for $99.

Ag, I thought there was a story like this, glad I'm not going crazy haha!

Like all products. The price will come down if/when there is a competitor. Even if it's a deficient model like the HC or Sport bringing bringing down the V2 price.

@EmmaInCandyland
Having come around after the V2. I had to do the research and read all the prior topics. So I remember that particularly because of how much of a scam it was.

 

[MitasTouch]

I honestly don't see any HC or Sport version of these coming out.

That comment is about the HC or Sport version vs the V2 price. I should have specified that. And a lot of people said the V3 was never coming either. "Two weeks"....

Really, all it takes is for someone to purchase a V3 and do what David did. And it's not hard to imagine that a replica maker over there is looking at these V3 sales and wondering how they can get some of that profit.

 

[spider2465]

Yeah these look really high quality. I'm just wondering how much I'll be able to get for my modded V2s when I finish them.

 

[OUTATIME1978]

Mine came today really pleased with them, yes you can see bits of glue, and one swoosh not 100% lined up, and one of the Nike strap logos not totally straight but in hand these are really well made shoes and glad I got them even at $584 plus I did get the instructions as I know some members here did not

 

[OUTATIME1978]

There is definitely a size issue as pointed out my mags are a US 7 UK 6 and compared to my bruins about an inch or so difference !!

 

[VanOaksProps]

While not authentic by any stretch of the imagination, I couldn't resist getting them for my V3s.

 

[jvon]

Received my shoes today.... And I must say they are by far way better than my V2s .....don't get me wrong I'll always keep my V2s (modded by @Jedifyfe) because they are great and lots of time put into modding then when he didn't have to but these V3s are like his video pointed out they are really great just ordered another pair�� I'll post pics later but they do fit true to size US9.5 UK8.5

I doubt it, I remember the V2 being really cheap at first, before they set a the $250 tag price. I remember people saying they were as low as $100 at the beginning, will need double confirmation though x)

Yeah V2 initially were listed between $99 and $109USD. Once orders were placed, emails were sent asking for more money.

Ah that makes sense. Yeah I'm really wanting a pair but I just can't swing the $600 right now. Plus I bought some V2s late last year and JUST bought a full EL kit to swap out on those. Do you think it would be worth it to do the mod on the V2s, sell them and then get the V3s?

I'll continue to rock my V2s for a while yet.

This isn't true. I bought some at the very beginning (page 1 of this very thread) and paid $250 shipped for the v2.

Taff83 and Luke started the V2 mod and V2/V3 discussion threads. Prior to that, all MAG discussion could be found in a MAG modding thread started around the V1. It was back in late 2012 that the first images of the V2 appeared. And the list was less than half the current price. Once orders were placed, emails sent. Lucky we had the option to get a refund.

How does some one report that? I can tell because I know what I am looking at. I feel sorry for whoever buys these.
