Could be worse. At least they work. Mine stopped 2 days after opening the box and as it turned out, the wires had snapped. At least when they run flat, you can re-charge.
I think you have a broken wire as well. I know that when I cut the wires of these shoes they sometimes turn on.

Alright! So I have a few questions for you guys!
I know that the black/gold MAGS that began from here: http://images.freshnessmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/nike-mag-2011-elite-customs-5.jpg
Turned into another pair of replica MAGS.
I'm not expecting another pair of replica MAGS, but do you guys think it's possible to create a pair similar to these?

Thanks!

Ok, thanks a lot my friend!
Furthermore, i saw on this forum, that everybody places theirs cable below this part of the shoes. This is right ?
If i cut here, can i repair my switch link ?
Thanks guys. :cool

the faults will be at the LED wire connections or near the switch, as they are very weak.
all you need to know is that the shoes come with crappy wiring, some of the worst you will find.
stupidly designed and implemented. The actual battery though (coin cell) is solidly glued inside some plastic shell. Eventually, that coin cell will die after its been recharged multiple times, therefore rendering it useless, meaning you would have to open it up anyway eventually.
anyway, here's some pics of a recent conversion I did for someone.

I'm curious, has anyone used their MAG's at the gym? I can only imagine all the distracted people whispering among one another and trying to get a peak at your shoes while you're doing your workout. lol

Ok, so where i must open it properly ?
you will have to remove the grey eva inserts,
and remove that pink cardboard thats covering the battery in the sole.

i bought them from ebay a while back.
I have worn mine on a motorcycle at night which is pretty funny though. People try to speed up and look. And sometimes say things to you at the red lights but I can never really make out what they say lol.

you could definitely make a pair like the iron man ones
you would need someone who can do airbrushing.
but its definitely doable.

Thanks a lot my friend ! :thumbsup
How can I remove that pink cardboard in the sole ? Do I have to cut a small part? :behave
I did some photos, which idea is better ?
Choice 1 ? 2 ? Or 3 ? Or other idea ?
Best regards. You're a good community. :cool
Xacto knife just cut it out like 1 but a little longer towards the tongue. Although it doesn't matter that much as it will be covered back up by the sole.

i would basically rip all of it out.
if you are doing toe modification first, it will easily come out.
I do the toe modification first, so i can easily access the cardboard and just complete rip all of it out.
and then try and remove as much from the edges as possible.
it comes out fairly easily if you are doing it from the front of the toe after you've opened it up.
cutting out a hole isn't really advisable, as the cables from the existing wiring are running underneath it,
especially from the sides and the back of the shoe.
here's a picture of one example i did.
Modifying this shoe isn't a 1 hour job, its quite time intensive, so i would take great care and patience when modifying.
