Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

Probably wont completely deconstruct them as far as the electronics/fabric. Right now I am just removing the clear soles only to hopefully mold and replace them. The clear soles are the only part I feel confident in removing, as they are they only parts I feel I'll be able to glue back together nicely. I really want to get to the battery/inverter but I just don't see how without completely butchering them.
For all of our sakes, I say: POST PICTURES! haha

Based on the images that were posted in this thread, once you get the clears off, you should be able to slice the mid-sole open. I used to do this to the V2s to get the glued in battery out of the heel part. I kind stuffed my first pair by taking a complete section out of the sole, but I since have done a few other pairs where I cut the rubber in a U shape to make a little trap door that closes back up. I'd say, this is your best bet for these.

The battery seems to be forward of the heel, closer to the part just behind the ball of the foot, or under the arch. This means that you will also have the tear drop of the mid-sole as a part of the trap door flap.

Are you taking the battery completely out?
 
Just wanting to know how many Aussies have ordered through David and if they've received their V3's yet?

Just in general has anyone ordered a pair in size 13?

I have a size 13.... i have also a size 13 in an air max.... it fits ok....not from Australia, but i live in the netherlands.
The are very nice... no problems.... took about 10 days to get them.

Here are my size 13 mags!
Very happy with them, no problems with the shoes or customs.
I won't be wearing them, just displaying them in my BTTF museum (will put them on
and make some pictures, but thats all!)
 
I was just searching for something waaaaaaay back in the V2 modding thread, and came across this. Gave me a good chuckle:

So the V3's were just shown!!!! They are 99% accurate. Blue Icy soles with the correct pyramid on the bottom and flared sides, EL in both the soles and strap, PERFECT LED's and they are 1/2" taller with the triangle pull loop!!! The material look to be the same as the V2's though. But they did manage to put the button and charge port in the correct spot. And they are going for $185!!!



Just messing with ya CAVX! ;)

Jedifyfe has doc's DeLorean, CONFIRMED! But seriously, what he described is almost EXACTLY what the V3'S are. Spooky
 
I heard back from Rebecca re: the defects on my shoes. She said it will take 3-7 days to get another pair made, which I'm fine with.
 
MicroWavezzz mainly a pinch of fabric on the left shoe between the swoosh and the heel cup.

Got my QC pics overnight for these size 12s. I placed my order 6 days ago.

Am I crazy or does the fabric on the outer left shoe seem loose, especially between the middle of the swoosh and the heel cup? And the swoosh on the right seems crooked?

The soles seem yellow, but since you guys have been saying it doesn't look that bad in person, I'm fine with that. But the loose fabric and crooked swoosh make me want to ask for another pair. What do you think?

I kniw it was mentioned on Nike Talk. But most sneaker heads are dead set against "fakes"...so be it. More for me. Lol

I'm a sneaker head and have a big collection of jordans and nikes. I've been waiting for the mags for so long and now theres a decent quality pair out there for a reasonable price (compared to the RDs) I'm more than happy to buy fakes or in this case I'd prefer the term 'replicas'. If nike had a large production run for authentics I'd be more than happy to purchase but until then then chinese will be getting my cash ��
 
I know this may be slightly off topic or unallowed so Admin please delete if need be.

I occasionally watch a Vlog of a guy who lives in Vegas and he visited a store called Urban Necessities where you can buy second hand sneakers.

In his latest video at around 4.06 mins where is a pair of RD Mags! I wonder how much they are going for?!

I saw a video of a guy at that exact store and played that game and won a pair of MAGs. Not sure if the video is old and they just uploaded it recently or they had more than one pair of MAGs.
