Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

So yesterday my shoes were supposed to arrive (cleared customs fast, arrived a day earlier than quoted) but they were never delivered. Again, probably because they arrived ahead of schedule and hit the facility after the carrier already left for his or her route. I know I should get them today then. Cant wait to check them out in person

It's really an amazing experience. Having the shoes you've waited years or decades for is truly awe inspiring. When I first got mine I just looked at the yellow box for a good minute before I slowly opened it.

I really hope the soles don't yellow too bad. Is it possible for them to yellow even if they stay in the box?
 
So you know the blemmishes in the fabric in the V3s mostly on the top near the pull hole. Is there a way to clean that? I got QC photos this morning and the only real flaw was the problem there. image.jpeg
 
How are your shoes holding up? Everything still working?

Yes. I rarely take them out of the box but when I do I turn the lights on and off a few times. I've worn them twice but only gone about a total distance of about 20 feet.
 
I know people are disappointed about the dimmer EL panels, but why would you turn on the lights during the daytime? Personally, i would only turn them on at night. It's kind of a waste of electricity
 
I would hope not. How long do you think it would take to show any signs of yellowing?

I am positive these will yellow, how long depends on its UV exposure. It is the main factor that causes yellowing. Hard to know for sure, but I'd say a few months of wearing these a few times a week outside they will be a clearly visible shade of yellow. Inside they will last a lot longer, windows block UV to a degree. They will last longer inside, especially if they aren't in sunlight. A lot of display cases are UV protected keeping them in there would be your best bet if you don't want yellowing.
 
And for those curious:

Ordered July 21
Shipped July 30
Arrival August 1

$627.23 total. I could quibble about the extra $27, but I don't see a point after already spending $600. Paid by credit card, no secondary charges or other suspicious activity so far.

Shipped to where?
It Will be nice for everyonE to post their results to get a good ETA.
 
Got mine. The glue spot wasn't actually a glue spot but a small dent defect in casting, I'm guessing.
You actually can't see it, unless the area is lit a specific way.

There's a small grey spot under one of the laces, on the tongue
The box has a small dent on the bottom, booklet strap had the same issue as others,
my orange plate has a couple scuffs.

Besides that everything works and looks great.
Overall, pretty happy!

Will post pics later
