Does anybody have the template for the Nike logo they'd be willing to share?

Awesome. Is this supposed to be 1:1? It appears to open way larger in my browser and when saved and opened in paint.

 

[Emmet]

It is 1:1 in size when printed at 100%. It opens large because it has 600dpi.

NIKE font size height should be 1.6cm when printed.

 

[cavx]

Thanks Emmet. I could not find any setting for the DPI but did see that the NIKE letters are less than 2cm on a digital scale. I wonder if the printing place can do that on clear?

Cavx, I hope I am not coming across as rude but since you've always been after accurate screen used shoes, why are you cheaping out with the mods? I mean, why do things completely inaccurate?

 

[joeyock]

Jedi, what kind of glue do you use to glue the strap back together? link!?

The lights are not permanent this way, so an up grade to EL will still be possible. Time is not on my side for this and why LEDs are being used for now.

Jedifyfe recommended the Super 77 spray. its very good. just spray on both sides, let it dry a bit, then stick together.

I think this one was posted for the midsole to match the RD, if not, it should be some pages back (somewhere lol) and sealed with Krylon UV resistant clear coat

Most of these sellers take around 3 or 4 days to ship them out. You then have to wait around 7 or possibly more days to get the shoes.

Not sure about the DHL shipping method, how long that takes, but i'd assume that would be quicker, i've only ever used EMS which is normally 7 to 10 days.

I am talking to Karin Chen right now as I have had no reply from the Jason guy. The problem is she is insisting I use EMS rather than DHL as she says "It's not possible" and I worry about tracking of EMS in the Philippines. What is your experience of EMS?

I think most of the sellers only use EMS as thats the easiest method and seems to be fairly reliable. I think with DHL there may be more of a risk of seizure although i could be wrong. It's pot luck basically. EMS though is the most commonly used delivery method. As long as they put a low value on it, label it as a birthday gift it shouldn't have any issues with customs. You can't always guarentee it though, sometimes customs just seize randomly. I've had a couple of various EMS parcels seized so most times they get here without any issues.

I think Karin Chen sends EMS via Singapore, so maybe it won't be as easily seized.

I think EMS should be ok if you are in Phillipines, you should be able to track it, and as soon as it gets to your country, the national mail provider usually takes over to deliver it to you.

use trackingkit.com and it usually updates you on where it is.

What is your experience of EMS?

Pretty good from China to Australia. I've ordered 3 pair of these shoes now and had no issues. I also buy other stuff out of China and all OK.

Hi airair,

Thanks for that, I have just purchased 2 pairs from Karin Chen, One to wear and one to display. Now I just have to wait! Exciting stuff.

I bought a can of this but it's a rip off.

sticks well though.

I've just found another alternative which is a bigger can at 400ml and cheap price, just waiting to see if the grey is light enough.

thanks for replying, unlike others who don't respond!

Hey guys, just want to share what I think is pretty important info about our 9v batteries. On the shopping list on Page 58 it shows to buy what we've all known for a long time, the 750mah BlueBaby brand. I had a pair of those and they lasted about 4h and 15 min in my shoes, which is a very respectable time. But as I've mentioned before one of them broke on my second wearing and disconnected inside whenever I put my weight down on it. Not acceptable.

So then I bought a pair of the newer 880mah LiteLong brand, and gave them a try wearing the shoes at a friend's party a couple weeks ago. HOLY CRAP!!!! They ran the shoes for 6 hours and 10-20 minutes!!!!! That is a *phenomenal* time IMHO. Anyway, just wanted to share I think those are now the go-to batteries for us, as long as the internal connections don't break.
