Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

I am not getting Cloneprops buckles. I actually like the ones that come with the V2's. They look 95% correct and they are the perfect material.

Here is a quick and dirty EL logo/strap.

Holy poop sh1t they look tremendous! The EL strap looks good dude! Quick or not I raise my glass to you for sharing basically a finished photo, the photo of front elevation is actually damn close to the look of the rd mags now I think, to the untrained eye that is :)

Oh finger loops, to mod or not to mod that is the question :confused

Oh can you take a pic with the shoe lights off, side elevation please just so I can see the coloured LEDs with the toe mod, sole el ect, I want to drool some more :D

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Thanks for that! When you get chance go have a look at the v2 stock photos with side elevation and lights on and off against the above photo's... what a difference!

Good mods Jedifyfe and Taff83. Personally I like the look of the clear LEDs o these shoes. For a more screen accurate look, you do need to change them for colored.

That finger pull hole mod is going to be a pain for you guys because most of the material you need to stretch and fold is missing already. I worked out the hole needs to be a Y shape slot and then you pull and glue the taps. So if you unpick this, you might end up with an over size hole. Good luck with that though.
 
Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Thanks Cavx. I don't think I'll be doing the finger loop mod anytime soon, if at all. It's not a glaring detail that shouts FAKE. The toe mod and EL sheets are the biggest issues.
 
Nice work again Brad!

How did you do the heel cup leds though? did you remove the heel cup to get into the leds or did you do this from the inside of the shoe? if you can do a quick step by step that would be awesome! i was going to paint the bulbs already there but i like your way better, looks just like RD Mags :)

I did the charger ports instead of the toe slimming last night as they finally arrived. Hooked up the diode to the positive cable from dc port to battery. As you can see the red led on the charger plug is lit up and working perfectly :)

Wooow,looks exactly as original mags,that is one of the best accurate mods at the date!!Is the easiest way to charge, you raised the 6 hours in "ON" mode? :)
 
Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Your mods look absolutely cracking Brad! How did you get the EL in the bottom to light 2 separate semi circles? Is is still one piece like on your modded MP's?

Ye it's great that your buckles are so accurate that this can be done! :)

The batteries last 9 hours roughly lol I'm super happy, the heel cup LEDs last long as well since I cut off the sole LEDs in the end.

Cloneprops when you did your buckles, did your inverter have a switch on it? If so how did you overcome wiring a new switch to it? I'm thinking about running another switch into the + cable on the inverter switch so it overrides it, not sure if it will work though.. :confused

Yep. One piece of EL.
 
Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Got the paint and finished the heel cup LEDs. Oh also I painted over the lettering on the board the LEDs sit on.

Toe fix next I think :confused

9 hours??? AMAZING!! Im trying to raise 12 h...
About the switch of the inverter,I unsolded the original and prepare something like the photo.you need to prepare a solid base with epoxi and place the switchin proper position(photo) i if you like to put in proper place like original switchs of nike mags!!View attachment 138368View attachment 138369
 
Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Thanks glad you like them Magic!

Ah I understand, that is simple, so now I can do that I just need to connect the v2switch to the new switch hidden in a accessible place, thanks for the info, greatly appreciated as always mate :)

I did a video of my mods, how the shoe looked when purchased and looks so far just for those that missed anything http://youtu.be/Cx0ysocjl_8 it will save you going through all the pages and a few "how to pics" in it as well, hope it helps those planning to mod them!

Just don't forget Brad has detailed tutorial videos that should really be watched before carrying out any work to these shoes. I'm sure your in undated with private messages Brad!

Hey, guys! Do you think is possible to add a "power laces" mod into these shoes or is it too soon to think about it?

I saw a mechanism in this youtube video that could maybe been adapted or remade to something similar to be attached inside the shoe's ankle buckles.

AUTO LACES! Power laces patent & trademark available - YouTube

By the way, do you remember this girl's video? Somebody here had did something similar? Her last video update was on 2010...

Power Laces 2 PROTOTYPE DEMO - YouTube

Once again, amazing work, guys! Congratulations!

Lol. Thanks Taff. It sometimes gets that way.

Toe fix is next right? ;) C'mon buddy, you can do it. Just take your time while separating the fabric from the sole.

Also I recommend getting a very fine sand paper, wet sanding the bubble then using Matte Spray. It makes the lights and bubble 99% accurate.

I'd love to watch the video, but youtube says it's "private."
 
Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

Yep toe fix next, need to watch your toe slim video again though just so I have it rehearsed in my head.

With regards to the sanding, did you do this to the outside of the bubble or the inside? Just I've glued it down already :confused

Edit - Video now public, all images you have seen before I think.
