Looking at photos of both the screen used shoe and the 'friend and family" shoe and it seems the screen used toe box would be full sized if it had the toe box inside. Would be awesome if that could just be removed. of course, there are those that want the toe box to have a shape and why using a smaller last is probably best.
 
A smaller toebox could be modded with steam to get a nice slim toe possibly but all I can think about is how much harder it might be to sock slim with less material there
 
I'm sorry, this has probably been answered before somewhere in this thread multiple times, but I've finally decided to bite the bullet and get a pair of these things. Can anybody tell me (either here or on a pm) who is currently the best seller to get them from? Also, how does the size run? I'm not planning to modify my toe box.

Karen Chen was the one considered most reliable. Apparently she no longer sells these, so now it is just a case of shopping and finding someone with a good feedback score. Also, make sure you email them first.

Sizes are said to run 1/2~1 size too big. I honestly think they used UK sizes and called them US sizes. If your not going to toe mod (and why would you not as that alone makes a night/day difference to these shoes) then you can probably get that bit smaller and be OK. What size do you wear? They make US8, US8.5 and then jump to US9.5, US10, US11, US12 and US13. So there is no US9 and the US8 is about the same size as the older MP MAG.

I got US9.5 and before the toe slim, they were a touch too big. So I added an additional sock-liner and that packed them out and they did fit better. After the toe slim, they fit good. After the tongue mod, a touch on the snug side. After my heel cup mod, they fit great now as that seems to have freed up about 1/4" inside.
 
I'm in China and I'm about to grab a few pairs of Mags. Unfortunately there are much fewer sellers than there were, and the price has risen by about 25% compared to a couple of years ago. There are a lot of sellers that have the official Nike-less Mags, but they are even more expensive.

Anyway, I should be able to get a discount the more pairs I buy at once. So if anyone is looking for someone reliable to help them get a pair or two, give me a shout. Hopefully I can get it at around what Karen Chen was selling them for, maybe a bit less.

I've sent some pairs out to board members before, in the UK and US, including several to Jedifyfe, so I can be counted on to deliver. Every pair I've sent has gotten to it's destination safely.

Everything is pretty much at a stand still for new year here right now, so I'll be finding a seller with the best price and placing in order once everything picks up again in a week or so.

Pm me and if you are interested and I can get a quote based on the numbers. Let me know your size too, as some sellers only have certain sizes.
 
Hey Guys!
I saw some awsome mag replicas in this thread. Ive decided to buy a pair but all links on aliexpress that are been posted here in the thread are dead. So which one are the best ones?
Can give me someone a link on aliexpress? Thank you very much.
 
After speaking with a seller today, I can get the shoes for $205 on the basis there are a minimum of 10 pairs bought. They have the original and black versions in sizes 41-47, no half sizes. The cost for sending a single pair to the US/ UK has ranged between $40-$45 in the past. Hopefully I can swing a group discount by posting them all at the same time, the Chinese love to barter. Buyers would need to cover Paypal fees (or you can send as a gif), so top estimate all in is looking like $260 for the first shipped pair, additional pairs the shipping will be combined. Perhaps if f any board members live close enough to each other, they could have pairs posted together.

All payments would need to be made in pounds as I'm from the UK and don't want to have to convert a load of dollars when I'm done. So £168. Any excess from the shipping fees I will refund.
 
Sounds good to me. I'm in southern California, orange County and LA area, if anybody wants to split shipping with me.
 
Damn $260? Hopefully when Nike announces their plans for the 2015 Mags, it will motivate the Chinese to start cranking these out again.
 
You have to take into account that unlike the sellers on Aliexpress, I can't deal directly with the factory, and i don't have the constant use of a courier, which must get them a hefty discount to enable them to offer free shipping.

It will hopefully be less but £168/ $260 is my conservative estimate.
 
Well if the the of us LA area guys split shipping and that brings it down a bit, I'm totally happy with the price. It sure beats dealing with a potentially underhanded aliexpress seller.
 
Im getting 2 pairs... Anyone in LA wanna get in with me??
If the other two ppl jump in with me.. That be $10 for shipping each pair

Be aware that I will be combining shipping,which will make additional pairs cheaper, but it's not going to be the same price for two as one. I will only be able to get an exact price when I have the courier here to weigh/ measure/ barter/ argue/ and then finally agree a price. To give an exampe, it gost me $40-45 to send 1 pair previously. Sending 3 pairs togeher cost about $80. So it's a decending scale. I think posting them all on the same day is the best way to get the price down, so hopefully the prices I've quoted are high estimates..

A note on the packaging. I always make the yellow box smaller by resizing it smaller around the shoes. This makes the dimensions less,and will allow for cheaper shipping. I think this is a safer way to post as the shoes are more snig in the box. If you want the box to be preserved let me know, but be aware it will cause a difference in the shippingcost to you. The boxes are also not that good quality and not worth preservign in my opinion. Also, based on the Chinese postal service (mostly dudes on motorbikes who throw packages around with little care for their contents) I know for a fact that not all of them will make it to me in pristine condition.
