Nike MAG replicas (V2 and V3 only)

Man these shoes are like freaking fused together. I have been trying to get the soles off slowly...but its very painstakingly slow. Heat hardly seems to help with these. It is seriously like there is no glue seam. These are definitely a different ball game then the V2. The painted sole area has a lot lower melting point then the clear rubber, so heating anything will melt through that section before it breaks anything loose. Using an x-acto with a rounded scalpel style blade is the only way I am making progress and part of the foam material is coming off with it...because basically its cutting not breaking a seam. Good luck to anyone else who tries this. :wacko Brb throwing the shoes in the oven


jk

I wonder if they have used the same compressed foam they used on the V1 instead of the rubber they used on V2>

Question about this. So on the bottom of my V3s where the sole attaches to the side where the Els are located. was there a pretty good open gap like enough where you could stick your finger nail into?

What, delaminating?
 
I always really liked this picture. I also wondered why the ankle buckle is yellow.

If that is one of the screen used shoes, it is in amazing condition. Parts like the buckle heel cup and mid-soles would have been made from urethane. The urethane used in the late 1980's to 1990's used to have relatively short shelf lives of about 5 to 6 years. Signs of break down were cracks and yellowing.

interesting that the soles are still clear on that shoe compared to all the other shoes I have seen where the soles are so so yellow, they are almost brown.

I think that this is the only picture of this shoe. The picture is a few years old, and I'm not sure where it's from. Maybe someone's personal collection. It doesn't show signs of excessive use that filming would do, so it might have been from a backup pair that was never used. The clear soles still being clear is quite odd like you mentioned because it's 27 years old, so not sure how that is. I think if you got a pair of V3s with the sock toe, they would look similar to this.
 
hello all, i follow you since last year, i see few weeks ago that the V3 finaly arrived, so i order them the 19th july, i receive the tracking 2 days ago and today, tracking said " delivery" someone intercept the package and no news, did someone ever had problem like this with his order?
thanks

I'd hope so.

You no doubt have seen photos of the "family and friends" pairs where one was an exact replica of the screen used shoe and other one of the standard 2011 MAGs? I just wish they had all been exact replicas or at least pairs of the exact replica. Those shoes look so good.

It is not just the fact that the sock toe is movie accurate, it is because it is also way more comfortable not having a toe cap pressing on your toes. Toe caps work in boots, not shoes like this with ultra slim profiles.

Yes I know if the Friends and Family pairs. It struck me as odd though that the clear soles are brown for some reason. Like Nike took way too much from the screen used photos and the shoe they had for reference. Maybe someone accidentally left them next to a sunny window.

Got a tracking number for my replacement pair a few days ago. Everything was fine, then yesterday morning it says "package on hold". The package is still in China so I dont think it has been through customs yet.
I then receive a Text message supposedly from DHL saying " Your DHL shipment from ********** is scheduled for delivery on Monday August 8th by the end of the day and may require signature. authorize delivery or choose another delivery option" it has a link that I clicked and it takes me to a page that has boxes that say "Schedule delivery, Signature release, leave with neighbor, alternate address, and vacation hold"
I clicked the link and confirmed the address. An hour or so later I see my tracking and it says " Returned to Shipper"

What does this mean davidjones888??


Has anyone here every had anything like that happen before? Has anyone ever gotten a text like that before?

I am ultra frustrated

It's the exact same text I received on my phone..

The tracking info says : returned to shipper.
But the text says: delivery scheduled for Monday August 8th.

I just called DHL and they said the reason the package was returned to shipper is because the package contained a battery and was improperly packaged or didnt pass inspection with the battery. Please reship davidjones888 I have been waiting a while now.

Let's hope not.
Can't seem to reach anyone at DHL now. Let's wait until Monday. That's when they claim it'll arrive. If not I'll call a friend who works at DHL so we know more details.

Ive had that happen with my Pakistani manufacturers for my clothing brand. I think that is just a dhl mistake. Since you let David know I'm sure he will ship it right back out once it comes in.
