Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

[MitasTouch]

Ok so there is something that hasn't been addressed. The charging port and on/off button. I found one picture that might be the charging port, but it could also just be that they wanted to copy the RD buckle, but didn't add it. It's not as pronounced as the real thing.

Also on another note. I will give them about 2 months to ship the shoes. If I do not receive them by then or have photographic proof that my size exists and that they intend to ship them, I will request my money back.

Ok so analyzing the pictures provided by the website, I actually think that they made the soles normal clear. The grey behind it may be the reason it looks slightly blue. Because the RDs have a unmistakable blue color. I feel like if the material under the soles were white, they would be just like the movie.

EDIT: I was on the live chat and the representative told me that they are indeed normal clear.

I tried to buy them via PayPal too. Got a bit of a different story. Every other product they sell you can use PayPal or Credit card but not on the mags as they are new.
Mags can only be purchased by money gram or western union.

I don't know... Seems scammy to me

I just purchased them using my card. I used the coupon code posted earlier. Maybe that lowered the price enough to fall into the range of price that cards can purchase. If Cavx's theory is correct.

Hmmm ok. Ill investigate my banks charge back rules first. I think it isn't so easy to reject a credit card charge here in Australia. *assuming they don't send them of course.

I received a new site that sells them from the person I chatted with.

Yeah that's the site I used.

Yeah that's the site I used.

I used the site direct from the Reddit page.

Actually your right. So did I.. They are basically the same though. I'm still not convinced these guys are legit yet

 

[MitasTouch]

I just got confirmation that the on/off button and charging port are in the right places.

I just wanted to point out some of the flaws on the shoes that I've noticed so far because a lot of people keep saying they're "perfect". The two main flaws would be the collar and the toe. The collar is a bit too thick and puffy and the toe needs to be slimmed down a bit more. Then some of the other flaws I noticed, the wire in the strap is visible, the shape of the ELs in the soles are a bit off, the buckle is also a bit off, and the holes under the collar need to be a bit bigger. I'm not saying these aren't good or anything because they're amazing, especially compared to the V2s. But I just wanted people to know what to expect if they plan on buying them since everyone seems to think they're "perfect". I would say these are like 95% accurate at most. But like other people have said, David usually listens to his customers and fixes any problems with his shoes so hopefully at least some of these problems will be fixed in the future. At their current state I don't think they're worth $600. I wouldn't pay anymore than $500 but if they fix some of the problems then I'd definitely pay $600.

Usally i wait for a pair to pop up on taobao.com. For those who dont know what that is. Its a chineese marketpkace like aliexpress but with some more quality stuff. The only thing is that you only can buy stuff directly is if you live in china.

But there is help. The site bhiner.com is an agent who buys for you and sendsout all around the world. Used it 5 times now works perfectly.

Go to taobao and find your item. Copy your url.

Go to bhinder and create acount, next put your link in the seachbar. And add to cart then quote your items. Bhiner will reqch out for you to the seller if your size and procuct is available.
There is a chat function on bhiner so if u have questions they awnser in a couple hours. If thet recive your pair/product they send you pictures of everything and you can do a qualitycheck. If you approve they send out after second payment if u dont aprove they send you back money.
And the best of all it all works with paypal.

Most people on reddit buy from taobao its the cheapest and they moastly got the products first.

Yes. These are all problems that I have pointed out. Besides the issues with the triangles and the EL. The collar is a preference thing I guess. If you want it closer to the movie, they're perfect. If you want the idolized RD version where it is less puffy then i guess it's an issue. But if you want 2011 accuracy you might as well point out the normal clear soles instead of ice blue. The toe on these V3 can be steamed using a wet paper towel and an iron. Research that if you want to know more. This is only if this isn't fixed by the factory. One thing that I don't think has been directly pointed out is the shape of the heel cup. It isn't ass tall as the real thing. The wires showing in the strap should be an easy fix for the factory. Same thing for the triangles and collar. Most of these issues can be easily fixed by the factory. But if it is a cast part like the heel cup and ankle buckle, expect a long wait or the fix to never come out at all. New industrial molds are expensive. Especially for a new shoe that hasn't had enough time to generate enough profit.

Yeah, I noticed the heel cup looked a bit off too but I wasn't sure. I would be happy with the movie look or the RD look, I really don't mind. But right now they're kind of a mix of both. The puffy collar and clear soles are accurate to the movie but it isn't a sock toe slim and they would need to be white under the soles.

I can see this going two ways. Either the majority requests for changes to be closer to the 2011 shoe, or the movie shoe. It depends on who has the biggest voice. So any changes, or lack thereof, to the collar and clear soles will cater to those requests. And for a practical shoe, I don't think anyone no matter which version they prefer, will request the sock toe. If they cater to the movie shoe which it looks like they are maybe they will paint the underside of the clear soles white to make them more pronounced.

I guess we won't truly know how good or bad these are (and they look really good to me apart from 2 or 3 things) until we see them side by side with the real NIKE MAG.

Then it will be a 2011 version then. If they do a "movie" shoe version, then they have to sock toe it because the movie shoe had sock toes.

I disagree. If they lean towards a movie shoe it will be an idolized version. Meaning everything is pretty much accurate to the movie except for the toe box being a sock. I don't think they would want to sell lumpy looking MAGs lol. And if they made such a big decision making the soles normal clear instead of blue tinted, then I think that's what they're going for.

If you going to do the movie shoe, then it should be all or nothing. Sock toes don't look lumpy. They slump and they look very cool and they are way more comfortable than the same shoe with a toe cap. From a display perspective, sure the toe cap makes them sit nice.
Then again, the movie shoe doesn't have a charge port either, so... I guess it is hybrid.

I guess based on what I have learned from the V2 mods, a sock toe won't be that hard to do on these. The rest of the shoe looks stellar.

I also contacted them about a purchase was told that I could have 6% off ($629 down to $599) but I had to pay WU. Sorry, that is not going to happen.

Same thing they said to me. I sent them a copy of their Reddit post saying they now accept PayPal... and that's when they told me they do on every shoe except the mags.
I also looked into the original posts account. It's only 43 days old.. So they haven't been on Reddit long..
I'm still very skeptical

Interesting. They want sales but are messing customers around. I only hope Karin Chen comes on board with these soon.
