Sorry for the teaser guys i will post pics in a few days as for the v3 rumors its true they will be making (spot on) replicas with the nike strap in el with yet (another price raise) but this is expected to be released in mid summer as far as the versions to come 1.1 quality and many others it is a hit an a miss on finding a good made build as for some who have problems with the electronics and size difference this can make purchasing these shoes be a hassle that's why i offered my services will post pics SOON..

They are only raising the price because they know people will buy them. If no one buys them then the price might go down.

Got a pair last night but they may be up for grabs. Size 8.5 available in the UK. Drop me pms and i'll keep them in order if I decide to move this pair on.
They are EXTREMELY well made (apart from the delicate switch on the rear) and i'll have some RD vs V2 pics up later tonight hopefully.

OH, please do
Are your V2 the same size as the RD?I so need to know if the V2 is actually tall enough.
Not to be dumping my build stuff in the V2 thread, I noticed a while back a bit of discussion about modding the finger pull holes to be 'stitchless' like the RD MAGs.
Check these images out
The finger pull holes on the collar of the MAGs are not stitched, rather cut, folded and glued. Here is my first attempt at this. This is just test run using an older collar to see if it would work out. With a bit more practice, pretty good I think.
The problems you guys will face should you tackle this is that most of the material you need to fold and glue has been removed. When I did this, I cut a "T" shape (at an angle) and then poked both halved in, then glued. The longer of the three sides was the hardest and is not as good as the other two shorter sides.

Hey Cav,
The stitching doesn't bother me in the slightest. I'm leaving mine, and infact I'm not even going to put EL in the soles as this pair has even diffusers unlike some that look a bit blotchy.
I'll just stick an EL Nike logo in there and do the toe correction and i'll be chuffed to bits.

I finally had to break down and order something else because they said they aren't sending me the shoes.

You think they'll give me a refund this late in the game? I ordered them October 30th..

Well, here she is guys... the moment you've been waiting for (well...some have anyway :lol)
I started doing a video but then I thought "wtf am I doing, they know all about this stuff" so I just did a few comparison pics. I have to say apart from the EL Nike logo, these are very accurate, especially to the average fan :thumbsup
The sole LEDs are fine at night and look almost EL like, but in the day the diffusers don't work well at all and they look quite blotchy.
P.s. The sizes are slightly on the larger side which is good as it's better to have an extra half cm of room than a tight fit.
Anyway, enough baffling, here they are:
