Nike Mag V2 Mod Discussion (Page 58 Shopping List)

[airair]

Was at foot locker today - I found a model of Nikes that were so new the staff girl didn't even know what the model name was, but the lace replacement speaks to me.....
Maybe next time.

Those are Nike shibusa. Haven't seen them for sale in UK.
You can get a pair in grey.

I gotmy shibusa the first day from footlocker too in grey and now, they have the mag pattern on the sole and as soon as i get back to canada, the back will have a MAG decal on ! I still don't know if i'll add some lights to them... :/

Oh I'm lovin' the look of the grey one. even more MAG-like. Maybe another Ebay purchase for me soon .... and the red one looks cool too. Sort of like a cross between my red Roshe's and MAGs. Thanks for the model name, @airair ! My girlfriend will probably complain at me for adding to my collection though haha

Those Nike Shibusa are on amazon HERE and maybe I could get one and convert to self lacing.

Any links for UK based sellers? it seems like this shoe is unavailable in UK!

I'd kind of like to see a mid high version of the MAG, but it would have to sport the cuff at the top. Not really into low cut shoes much.

Back to MAG modding.

My V1 modded soles have undergone more work.

And a video if anyone cares.

Some of you may be familiar with Xcoser brand props and costumes. They are now importing the "Sport" Mag into the US for $150.

http://www.xcoser.com/back-to-the-future-2-marty-mcfly-shoes-light-up-mens-sneakers-sport-shoes.html





It is a grey sole with dot-like spatter. No Nike branding. And a V2-like lace-setup. Still has the shiny vinyl ears.

Now one thing about Xcoser, they are actually pretty good about changing stuff and upgrading it to better accuracy. If enough people ask, maybe they could change the vinyl ears back to cloth like they should be. It would end up as a pretty darn good base shoe.

I got to see a pair of these "sports" MAGs at a recent con. They look better than the HC, but for an extra $50 - $80, I'd just buy the V2 and get the better over all look.

 

[MrSouthpaw]

If they could be persuaded to change the ears back to cloth, then they would be essentially V2 with no branding. The money saved can be rolled into a superior brand kit, some marine vinyl for a no-stitch strap, and maybe some lighting if one were to cut their own panels.

Also, xcoser takes paypal. So people going this route would not have to play the worry game. That alone could make it very worthwhile for some, even with the shoe as-is.

 

[DragonGalvy]

I wouldn't mind trying them - I ordered the 'sport' shoes from Aliexpress but they didn't arrive so I got a refund. I don't see them on Aliexpress right now. Maybe PayPal would be good....

Yeah if they could use the same cloth as the main part of the shoe for the collar, it would be near perfect. The cuff is a bit thinner as well which I really liked and a few here have modded their V2s to replicate this.

yes I saw someone here had used the insole grey material on the inner part of the wings, it looked really good

So as of now I may opinion it appears that Nike is unreliable as the Chinese bringing use Nike Mags I've recently been on Nike news seeing if there were any updates on the mags and it still says spring 2016. In the us (which I'm hoping Nike is basing this whole time frame on) it's SUMMER !!!! Either they are not even going to release these or they are planning something much bigger than an eBay auction.

I think we have all been guilty of counting chickens before they hatch.

Because, maybe we seen everything from them that we are going to see. They did release a power-laced MAG in 2015 (October 21) - one pair that went to MJF. They have made power-laced shoes (the EARL) for the public and so maybe the previous comments stating no further commercialization of the MAG shoe is true.

 

[RVLF]

I guess that if they make a remake of BTTF, we would have a new mag available... but for the new generation, this films/shoes might be some "has been" thing -_- so Nike won't release a new shoe (to the public) - they've missed the train, that's all...

Edit on my shibusa :

I should check those mods out for my HC mags. They have very thick collars.

As for these sport mags. I think I'll ask Xcoser why they are vinyl eared and if they can get that switched to cloth.

Lets hope they do not make a re-boot film. Look how bad Ghostbusters appears to be from the 2 trailers.

If they do (and they probably will in a desperate money grab), the shoe will be some normal looking sneaker with tricked up bits like some of the concept art shows. The days of awesome hi-tops are long gone.

I wonder how much pull he really has given Universal owns the film, not Robert Zemeckis.
