Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

How much would you want for it? PM me if you'd like. Also what did you end up going with on the wiring set up? And how long can everything stay on?

I ended up doing the 9v battery. I like it because you can swap it out when it dies and therefore prolong the time of using the lights on. Currently the lights last about 4-5 hours on one battery.

Did someone ask for for flattened laces???...

I did the lond awaited "Hot Ironing" trick. Works like a charm. I just put a thin towel over the shoe while I was ironing then.

Here is the a comparison shot. Can you tell which one has flattened laces??

Holy **** !!!

Then I did the other shoe. One more thing that is checked off the list of inaccuracy:

WOW good job. What temp is the iron?

High. As hot as you can get it. Just press hard and keep it moving around.




That's what she said...

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Nice! That looks alot better thanks for sharing that Brad!

So you put a towel over the area and just ironed the hell out of the area?

Did you have to put something inside the shoe or anything else to give it a base to iron onto?

This is what Caloss did but he cut into the whole shoe.. He must be gutted after seeing these pics :s

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Yes, I put a thin towel over the top and just used my hand on the inside pushing against the iron. Easy anyone can do it.

Thanks man. If you get folds or creases in the Mags, you can iron them out as well. I used the iron on the toe box to iron out a crease as well has the ankle area. It works perfectly.

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Just to clarify you did it in this process just for those also attempting this when the time comes:-

1. Place thin towel over selected area
2. Put your hand inside the shoe hard pressed to the selected area.
3. Place iron on top of towel in selected area and press hard till you can feel the heat on your hand that is inside the shoe.
4. Remove towel from time to time to check how it looks apply more if need be.

The nike tick I am worried about do you have to be careful while the iron is over that or did you miss the tick with the iron trying not to get contact on it?

From what I can see, it looks recessed the same as the V1 SWOOSH. The ribs will flatten as will the recess of the SWOOSH. The SWOOSH itself should be vinyl and be OK with the heat.

Hi
you know when you opened up the base of the sole underneath the eva sole insert, how hard is it to open it?

could you post up another pic of the inside bit where you've made the hole to place the battery in?

what do you suggest to glue the battery in place inside the sole?
thanks

Yes this is exactly correct. I tried to miss the swoosh as much as possible but it does take the heat fairly well though, be careful around it.


Thanks everyone. I have to give the credit to Punisher for the suggestion of ironing them.

@chris.jones - lol. Thanks man! You've been there since the beggining! I hope your next.

He has actually come up with a few good ideas for these shoes. His toe correction (building it up) was the stand out one for me. It seems he is not actively posting about MAGs anymore.

Yes, I'll post them later along with the NIKE logo I made.
The ones I will be selling are size 11's.

They won't be cheap.

95% accurate for 10% going price seems about right.
Great work Brad!
