Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

Is anyone in the US planning to make an order soon? Maybe we can make a group order. I've been waiting in hopes of improvements but It looks like they are actually getting worse so I don't want to wait any longer. Especially since I just ordered the new jacket.

I might be interested in a group buy of a sort, if David would cut some volume deal.

I also interested in a group purchase. we should already be in 4. We could open a topic to organize the purchase, what you think?

@Nzfly Here are the soles and partial molds, there are 3 clear parts which make up each shoe. Molding and casting is very rewarding and I really enjoy it, I love to see more people get into it and start making their own stuff! However, if you have no experience I would not recommend this to be your first molding project. Thin parts, the finish really matters, clear (will show bubbles)...and the originals are flexible. All of this has to be taken into consideration when molding these. The main issue probably being the bubbles, as @cavx said I have the equipment to make bubble free castings. Also as you said there is a learning curve, when I first started getting into molding and casting I wasted a ton of materials...which can be discouraging. If you stick to it and have the money to blow in the beginning you will eventually be able to make all kinds of stuff!

As far as selling these UV stable soles...How much interest is there in size US 10 and 10.5? I know the molds I have at the moment will fit 10 and 10.5 for sure...possibly 9.5. I can do completely water clear or as much blue tint as you want. (The ones In the photo look more blue in the photo then in person) As far as pricing goes they would probably be a little over the $100 mark for a set. Which is a bargin to what you would spend on molds and materials to make them yourself lol. I am still working on my own pairs, but soon if there is interest I can start getting size 10 and 10.5 and possibly 9.5 out there. Then later on could see about more sizes too.

I would be very interested but I'm holding off a while longer before getting my pair. Hoping the QC will improve.

From the site I was looking at yesterday, there appeared to be a bulk discount section, but to get 10% off, you need to buy 25 pairs. Is it worth it? I don't think so. Best to use the discount code and cough up the $454.
 
Repsneakers has a couple different sellers with the V3's. Cheapest sales reported at $350. There is another vendor with their own subreddit who has David's sale price posted. Multiple comments refer to a factory producing these and buyers purchasing wholesale from the same factory for resale. In any case it is clear, multiple sellers have them. Given the replacement costs charged, the vendor at $350, and the other vendors at $500, it is likely wholesale is around the $120 mark.

Can you post a link with a the $350 sale price?
 
We need a man on the ground in China that can source these for us. Problem is, it is highly likely he/she would need to be Chinese or the factories would not let them in.
 
The site is down??? Another week, another disappointing dose of reality knowing that I can't even get replica Mags :( I just want some V3's without the drama
