Looks like there will be a pair of unworn V2s going for sale soon
I'm glad I didn't buy them yet then xD! They seem to have restructured the shoe pretty well too! Slimmed toes etc! AAAh I can't wait, I want them grey though

I think it will be a black version of the v2, not sure, I hope not though xD
That picture is a custom RD. I've seen that picture before.

yayyy tell Karin she'll get a bunch of orders once we know more about the item (i.e. actual shots) and also if the shape is right, more of us would pick up a grey too.....
That picture isn't the V3s. It's the real 2011 MAGs with a custom paint job. I hope you guys know that.

Ye that's why I'm insisting no one buys just yet.. If its not a new design from the v2 then I won't be buying them.. I'm hoping it is a new design though of the v2 or to be honest a different factory has given the mags a go, that would be some surprise
She did tell me though the strap will light up so let see tomorrow when I get photos

don't get your hopes up people. I guess you missed my post on the other thread.
these are just V2 in black colour.
Exact same as the other V2s except for the colour change.
Same crappy LEDs as well! And No, the strap doesn't light up, unless they plan to miraculously discover what an EL Panel is!
Yes, the one you guys posted up before is of a real 2011 black customised mag. Someone actually posted that up before.
But yes, they have done the V2 in black, I guess using that customised mod as inspiration for this colour way. It's hilarious, They've simply done the exact same v2 knockoff , except in the black colorway, here are some pictures.
Same crappy LEDs.
I guess the only thing these are good for is the soles and heel cup and buckle.
the rest i wouldn't even need to make a custom black pair.

I wish we could get in touch with the factory itself. Give them ideas and pointers. I'm sure people would still buy the shoes if they were more accurate but didn't have any logos or letters to avoid problems with nike. That would give modders something to do lol.

Yeah I got the same reply from Karin...
It looks better because it is white and not blue.
They can't just make a new version due to the cost of the mold. Looking at my own shoes (and thinking back to when I was going to get parts made using injection molding), the fact that the heel cup is attached pushes the cost of the mold into the 5 figures (way more if that same mold was made in the US) because of the complex mechanics needs to release the heel cup. If it were just a simple 2 part mold like for the sole of the V1, then the mold could be made for about $4K. Once you get into this level, the mold is over $10K.

The Heel cup is not part of the sole, the sole is a seperate piece.
The heel cup is a seperate part glued down just inside to the back of the sole.
Its actually molded and shaped so it sits right inside at the back of the midsole. Then the entire uppers are glued on pushed right into the back.
I've stripped them apart and its not 1 piece.

They look great! The only thing i have to say is the color of the fabric is too dark but it looks to be the right texture.
