They won't see it in the same way we do. They are just selling shoes. It doesn't matter if the shoe is a MAG or Jordan, in the end, it is just a shoe.

If if you compare your panels to the V3's you can see that yes they are more bluish turquoise.

Since I'm not as tech savvy as most of you in here - I don't really care for a you-build-it Mag.
What i would like however is a wearable $500 pair of Mags from davidjones888
They have the blueprint all they need to do is improve the components and make a shoe that won't break within 15 minutes of wearing them.
David please tell the factory that you are getting these from to please improve the quality of the electronics before you lose more sales.

I am not sure the original color of the panel, but I tried running it at 2000hz and it was completely blue. I was wanting to upgrade the inverter, but once I connect a stronger inverter it completely turns the panels blue. They must also be relying on the lower frequency to give them their color. I think I'd have to replace the panels and strap EL if I wanted to actually increase the brightness and have the color Aqua.
Jedifyfe have you tried running yours at higher frequency? Did it turn them blue too?

How'd you de-fog the led bubble?

Just saw that someone on instagram managed to get loose soles for these. No idea who his source is, but they definitely look like the individual part and not a disassembled pair.
I guess they could be v2s.

Those are airmagman's and they are v3 soles. He just got the soles after some requesting, but not the uppers as he's doing some custom shoes.
And since he is using his own lithium batteries and boards, it should be interesting to see the final results, some cool customs.

Have you tried the 3v or 9v thin inverter that we used on the V2's? I think you said that was the inverter you were using. So even with that thin inverter, they colour is turning blue?
A bit strange that they are relying on lower frequency to give the panel its desired colour.
The panels I have are the grass green cyan colour that was used in the original movie back then and is the correct shade, and I assume its close if not identical to the RD 2011, unless the RD 2011 shoes used a slightly different shade?

I was using the 3v inverter. I think their panels are actually blue, and they use the lower frequency to control the color, so when you increase the frequency to increase the brightness you can really see how blue they are. Yours definitely look like a more accurate color, if I were to replace the panels Id like the cyan/aqua color more.

No clue why it shows at blue but it is a turquoise
I guess the only way would be to get hired from them, then start a petition about raising the product quality and pay rate and if they don't then organize a protest march...

Emma's V3's? Is there someone modding V3s and selling them, now? Sorry if my question is stupid, but I've not been following the thread for a week or two.
No, he just got them for me because I couldn't by them in one go as I'm a student X)

I know a few people wanted to see what the lights looked like after defogging the bubble. It's hard to capture on camera (I have a iPhone camera), but this is somewhat accurate. The colors are clearly visible from one another in person. What I did to defog it was sand down the air bubble then brush clear nail polish over it. I kind of messed up the right shoes LED bubble at first because I used a dremel and sanded too deep. It left small cuts in the bubble that would have allowed air to seep through. So what I used to fix this was J&B clearweld epoxy. It sealed the small cracks and made it good as new.
As for the paint, I used angelus turquoise leather paint. I still had some from when I added speckles to my V2s. These V3s have decent speckling but it needed more of them to be accurate.

Are you able to take a picture of the LED bubble lit up that is not in the dark?

How were they compared to your 2011 MAGs (when you had those)? My PC monitor is not calibrated, but my projection system certainly is. Watching the Blu-ray and comparing this image, I will suggest that airair's EL is closer to the screen used shoe. The colour should be CYAN which is equal parts of GREEN and BLUE light. I've seen photos of the 2011 shoes where their panels also look CYAN, not blueish green.

Ok this is an interesting photo. NOT V2's. The pair in the foreground are V3 soles. The pair in the back ground may not be. I think they are 2011 MAG soles. Can anyone else spot the differences?

If frequency changes the colour of the EL panel, then the frequency is higher for blue (shorter wave length @400um) and lower for green (slightly longer wave llength @540um).

Here he are more pics. I tried to best capture the lighting. Hope this helps
