So I got a message saying my shoes should be delivered by the end of the day tomorrow. I'm guessing since the price on these shoes is much higher than normal they give you overnight shipping. If they actually fit me then we will know that the smaller sizes are ready.

I wonder how quickly the soles will yellow...probably not really UV stable, I am assuming probably a few days in sunlight and they will be yellow. I assume nobody has tried disassembling their V3's yet? Wonder if the glue on the soles would be easy to remove, and replace the soles. Smooth-On makes that clear flex UV stable rubber which doesn't yellow, seems like it would be a prefect replacement. The soles not being the "icy blue" and the fact that you can see the outline of the wires in the strap are my two biggest pet peeves.
The blue soles are only accurate to the 2011 shoes. The normal clear soles are screen accurate which is better.

From what those that own these have said, you should be OK with a US10. What you actually gonna buy a fake shoe now?
LOL! Just wait. Everyone who swore off buying fake mags are going to be crawling out of the woodwork.

I know right? There was more than a few that would not buy V2s because they were fake and went and bought HCs because they were "licensed" by Universal, even though they were all made in the same factory.
If Nike won't make them so they are in my reach I'll buy them wherever I can get them. I want some just like all you guys here, I can't (not won't but cant) spend multiple thousands of dollars on a pair so I'll take the next best thing. That was the V2 which I have and now I'm just waiting on that slow boat from China......

I'm more on the sneaker head side of things and my friends who I told I bought rep mags are acting all uppity about it like "I would never buy fake mags". Welp good luck getting your hands on a real pair lol I'll gladly take my 97% accurate pair lol soon they'll all be wearing the fakes just like they all wore the hideous (in my opinion) HC's just cuz it was "licensed"
I am planning to travel to China ( Guangzhou ) like 2 years ago and the year before. I think seriously to meet john and his team in Fujian in possible.
it will can be an opportunity to meet these people face to face and get to know them, see how they work ( if possible ( I am already enter in factories but not everyone who accept ! ) and maintain a climate of respect and trust for the future! this experience seems fun to try .
What do you think ? I promise you nothing but it is part of my plan ....

For me it's more of a question of how often I think I'd actually wear them outside. If they're replicas, authentic or licensed costume Mags, I don't know that I'd wear them that often. It may just be me, but I feel like people would look at me like a crazy person if I wore them to go to the market, etc. because most people associate with a movie costume and not an actual, ultra rare sneaker.
I definitely agree with sneaker heads who don't support knock off culture. But in this case, they're more for my personal prop collection and just happen to be in my size.

People in my area love it when I wear my replicas. And they are just the HC versions with a decal kit applied.
If I wore V3, I'm sure I would get swamped with compliments.

I am still in shock that these shoes are being done this well. What kind of battery life are you guys getting? These are just great, I wonder how long it will take for more Chinese sellers to start making the V3's.
As a sneaker head myself...It's also going to be bad for a lot of people too. People are already trying to pass them off as the real 2011 Nike versions on eBay and are going to make a couple thousand dollars screwing someone over. I don't care if people sell replicas as "replicas" and clearly state that they aren't original, but when people try to pass them off as the real deal it drives be crazy!
