ok, i ordered. i PRAY that it is in fact her and they are in fact the v2's. Please don't let me get the SPORT pair again. :unsure

I'm pretty sure, you're gonna get what you order. Karin was almost the official RPF supplier ;)
Finger crossed
 
Hey Dminor, I am not exactly sure whats the name for the one I got its just a unlabel bottle i got from the art store. The formula might vary but as a solvent it probably should still work. Another solvent that I might suggest is using acetone but I have not personally tried it out and cannot vouch for the effectiveness or if they are safe for your shoes but I am assuming they work the same way and it is probably more readily available. They are found in nail polish remover or also the chemical form.
I used acetone.. worked fine.. just be very careful with it.. might discolor the fabric... i used it to take offf the old paint and some excess glue after i did the hair dryer

but what if it's NOT her and someone else took over her store or is using her name? fool me once....

This is what's odd now that you mention it.

there's this link to Karin Chens store where I bought both of my pairs

and then there's this link which shows the shoes with her name and slightly less of a price

Me: Just to make 100% sure, can you verify that they do in fact come with the NIKE swoosh and AIR MAG letters on the back? The last order I made with another seller sent me a picture saying they were the NIKE version and then sent me the pair without any logos and the words "sport" on the strap. I DO NOT want the pair that has no logos and sport on the strap. I want to make sure the pair I am buying and receiving are the pair in the picture I attached with the Swoosh, Air Mag on the back, and NIKE on the non lighting strap. Thank you again and sorry for the trouble.

Karen: Yes,it has nike word on the strap and has air mag on the back.

Me: And the white Swoosh/check down the outside?

Karen: Yes,correct

I attached a picture of the v2's and they are saying it's what i'm getting. Everyone cross your fingers but at $199 with free EMS shipping I'm still a little scared.
 
Good luck stprime. I think if I got that 'sport' version I might try my hand at making a new upper above the velcro strap... if I could find the right type of grey material from a shop, always wanted to try bending the cloth around a thin plastic support and gluing it at the back, so it's more like the RD and the stitching all hidden. Had a partial success with the prototype 'wing' I did ages ago for that idea but the foam I had lying around was too thick and the cloth not stretchy enough.
Then again, the V2's may be coming down in price with the new version around the corner. Remember that the model is a few years old now. I think some of us early adopters got them back in 2012 or something, I know there's a few of us who've had some since they were first released.

that's out of my league. the toe and strap are pretty much the extent of my current ability. i'm wanting to try rewiring my hc's how bigv69er did his and then do that on these potential v2's.
 
hey guys I am super new to all of this when it comes to Mags.. Are the V2s from the Japan site? Also when you guys say you are pitching in to buy Mags whats the deal with that because Id be up for working together with people. I just really want to get a pair and start the project.

A few of us are thinking of buying the new version (which nobody has pics of yet) and having Jedifyfe compare them to the V2 and RD since he has both and a lot of knowledge.

The shoes are $700 and are supposed to represent the RD closely. The more people the better because it's a gamble on 1 if they come at all 2 if they truly are like the RD or not. So if we can get enough people where every can put in 30 to 40$ instead of someone having to drop 700$ some of us figure it to be well worth the price just to see what they have and also eliminate most of the risk.

The shoes would then be purchased bye 1 of the contributors and money refunded to everyone else (again if they actually show up). Then we'd all know what we were looking at and if they are worth the price of admission.

And if they are garbage then your out 30 to 40$
 
Hey please keep up updated on what sent to you. Also what link did you use to order. I was talking to someone on that site but it took forever for a reply.
 
sgping279 good to see innovation. I did a similar thing using the cloneprops 3D printed ankle buckle.

It hasn't happened yet. We're waiting on a cheaper pair of shoes to be delivered to another member before we go ahead. Trying our best to not waste time and money.
 
Hi, Do any of you know if this is a sport or if it has nike sign because it almost absolutely looks like the nike sign has been photoshopped off. Anyways, This looks like a good mag and is 40 dollars cheaper than normal (200 dollars) because it is 160 dollars. My main problem is I want nike sign and I don't want to be ripped off and the good price tag seems a little sketchy but the fact that it doesn't come with a box is probably why. Thanks and have a great day. Here's the link in case your interested in the amazing price:

Those look like the v2 and HC hybrid ones, anyone else feel the same way??.. since they photoshopped the swoosh it will probably have it.. you should ask for actual pics of them

Photo shopped V2s. Look closely at the strap and you see the blue NIKE.
