Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

JKRIB yeah they have slight waves but I'm ok with it. I don't want to keep going back and forth with these people. You may end up with a worse pair than you initially started with.
yellowkobe thanks man - let's see how they look in person tho. I'll post pics when I get them.

My first order was so quick I had QC photos in one day. I ordered Tuesday and Friday still nothing. I think FreddyTV has the best pair so far the soles look amazing.

I did a comparison between @FreddyTV 's QC pics and mine.
Thought it could probably be the lighting but soles definitely look more blue and clear, which means better light.
Asked Rebecca about this. If I'd be getting a new pair. I'd want these type of soles to start
 
Quick update on my held pair...

David said that if an order isn't delivered, he will Refund or Re-ship. I chose to re-ship. They then suggested that I provide a new Address/Name/Phone Number. This is to ensure that the package arrives without any flags on my name and address or phone number.

They also said that once customs seizes a package and keeps it, that it's better to use a fresh Name/Number/ Address from now on.

Fingers crossed and hoping for the best.

It is mostly lighting and focus imo. I have 3 pairs on me and all 3 have ultra clear soles.

I do see a difference but in your photos it looks like they had grease on the lens of the camera perhaps - looks kinda blurry in the middle of the pics

Yeah I noticed that too. Like somebody smeared their finger on the lens
 
I'm just waiting to see who will be the first one crazy enough to mod these to fix what minor problems they have. I want the RPF to prove that "good enough" is never good enough. Haha

So someone go get the power issues fixed, then cast a clearer bubble, then tint the soles, then replace all the fabric.

I want to see just how crazy we are as a community. Haha

Has anyone tried to remove the frosted look off of the new v3 using acetone? I figure the only reason why we can't see the green,red,yellow separatly is bc they are more diffused and on the RD nike mag they the ankle bubble is semi clear letting the colors show more separatly.
 
Yeah Freddy definitely has a newer sole than the rest of us. Must be a new batch. I just went through like the last 50 pages looking at everyone's pics and the first few pairs were the closest to his but his is by far the iciest. I'm already considering seaglowing my soles as soon as I get em to see if maybe some oxidation has already stained my pair.
 
For $600 you'd think they would be PERFECT. I think the Chinese and I have different ideas of perfect though. My first pair I didn't ask for QC photos, so of course it had a few glue spots on it. It also had black specs which I initially thought were BEHIND the clear soles. After getting my second pair, I realized the black specs are actually molded side the rubber. Like junk got in the rubber when making them and cured. It also has a slightly discolored part on the bottom EL like it started to de-laminate. (tried to photograph but its hard to get to show up in photo, but you can clearly see it with your eye) On the left shoe the Nike swoosh isn't 100% lined up right you can see the indentation where it is suppose to go. Also, the shoes have little dimples around them, I am sure these are from there molds. My main gripe is the glue, too heavy on the glue so around the sole it still soaked into the fabric in spots. The metal plate that comes with the shoe was damaged and not aligned and the main box was damaged.

When compared to the RD these of course are a bargain for $600. I know the price is what it is, and we are lucky to have these at all. With the quality I see and get myself, I just wish the price was around $400-450 with this quality. Don't get me wrong, as a whole they are good quality as far as overall look...materials ect. Just small crap like dirty spots, mold imperfections, glue not being neat. I still love these shoes...but c'mon these aren't your average replicas step up the quality control. I've bought $80 rep yeezys and they look PERFECT. I understand these mags have to be assembled differently, but still. Okay...rant over lol

Yeah, do some before and after pics of it. I'm curious as to if something will make a difference in them.

Didn't try acetone, but I did try polish which helped. But even better...I then cleaned them with iso alch and with a q-tip rubbed clear coat on them which made them more transparent. (if you put a drop of water on a q-tip and touch it to the led bubble watch what it does, same thing that happens with clear coat but it stays)

Thanks ! Haven't got my pair yet but was wondering if anyone has tried to make the ankle better than it is, how was yor result ? Wtih the clear coat do you have any pic ?

Can your post a pic of how it looks after you did that?

There is a new batch I have a friend that works with david and he said that daivd had made a second batch with new stuff like better clears and and hopefully better el that won't have that black line problem
 
im jealous of how Ivey your sole is! Mine looks like it was pre-yellowed :(. But let me not get ahead of myself mine are in customs right now so I hope I even get them at all!

Right! I haven't recieved my pair yet, but based on my QC pictures my soles seem a lot more yellow than this. David told me that they were all the same and it was just the l
 
Off topic :
