Nike Mag V2 Mod Discussion (Page 58 Shopping List)

[airair]

ive decided im also going to do a pair with my own name on it where the nike logo is!
might even made the rectangle bigger, ill see how it looks on some transparent sticky paper first.

 

[airair]

whats the best type of printer to use for the nike logos?

i tried a hp laserjet onto some sticky transfer paper, but it doesnt come out as sharp and as well i thought it would.

 

[Jedifyfe]

I use a laser printer but I have to run it through at least twice to get the black thick enough. The sharpeness depends on the quality of the image and the DPI.

RDs on ebay with buy it now for only $1000. I wouldn't trust it.

That's a cool spin on it. I might put small Marine Corps stickers on the ankle buckles on mine. If you didn't know, I'm going into the marines after I graduate high school. At the office, we get stickers and stuff for free lol

I've noticed as I wear my MAGS around they seem to develop crease marks around the upper part of the shoe. I wonder if there's a way to fix this...



Same goes for the other shoe.

Jedifyfe said the using an iron works on that kind of stuff. Also use a napkin over the effected area so you don't burn the shoe.

Might give that a try. Just haven't had that good of an experience with them in the past xD. Also, even though it's just a thought, I was thinking of making a BTTF 2 Nike Jacket. Any tutorials on The RPF?

The jacket that auto adjusts and makes noises? I have two threads on it. Check them out. They're full of information. And I also have a step by step guide and material list. The only problem now is that the manufacturer who made the base jackets I used no longer makes them.

Awesome, thanks! Probably will just go to my local thrift shop and search for a grey jacket.

EDIT: I checked out the DIY thread and everything looks great! One question though, what do you use to secure the red no-slide pieces and the foam pockets to the jacket? I'm assuming a type of glue, but a specific kind would be greatly appreciated.

A finishing touch, not sure if the RD Mags have "nike" on them or if they are even white, but I like it

Apparently they don't. There is a YouTube video where the guy even makes comment about the lack of NIKE on the sock liner.

You're welcome And I use loctite fabric glue for the red mats and cuffs, and super glue to attach the belt.

 

[Taff83]

Thanks for confirming Luke!

Do you recognize these insoles Cavx?

They are from a pair of Kmags

Re: Nike Mag V2 mod discussion and builds

I can but I would like to find photos not taken by NIKE, so that they are of true shoes and not the photoshopped production photos. I have noticed that NIKE made their promotional photos MUCH nicer that the real shoe. That is why I am trying to match my shoes to the photos taken by MAG owners.

Hi Everybody - am new here but have been following these Mag threads for a while and have been making my way through this thread today - (so far upto page22!) - i have a pair coming from china next week with my business partner so i cant wait to get going on the mods - I cant say enough how impressed i am at the level of craftmanship in all these mods - really great job by everyone.

i couldn't resist but respond to the post from Jedifyfe (back on page 22) about how good the photos from Nike looked as opposed to the real deal - well probably becuase a lot of the images used were actually renderings done by a computer engineering classmate of mine - Zach Cheatham.

I just got my wire tape in the mail and I'm trying to test it out. The problem is that I can't even get one LED to light up. No matter where I put the LED leads and wires, nothing happens. And the LED or the battery isn't broken.

I folded and bought some stuff for lights.
