Nike Mag V2 Mod Discussion (Page 58 Shopping List)

[cavx]

@cavx I have size 11 and how do I know when its the right size

There is a L shape on each pattern that measured precisely 25.4mm or 1". These patterns are made for me, a US10, so a good bet it will fit your 11s as is, or maybe needs +5% scaling.

Is there anyway to flatten the laces on the v2s

The only real way to rid the ribs is to open the shoe upper from the bottom and de-laminate the layers. There are a few layers of cloth and foam inside. If you can work up between them, the shoe will lose that ribbed look.

My bag cost me over $200 to make. It was supposed to be a $50 project, but just blew out.



Can't see the image.

Hi cavx Could You Tell Me How To Make It Or Can I Buy One Of You?

 

[Rivoli]

Hello! And as you have removed the sole to install these panels LP?

I have a build thread somewhere. I don't have the link on hand.

HERE you go. Many of the images are no longer visible. This bag was my first scratch built prop, so was done a while ago.

When you say L shape is it the shape it will form when the pieces are assembled ? like the tongue on the real shoe?

 

[RVLF]

nope, I think he is refering to the "L" Shape on the pattern : the 2 black lines under the heel of the MAGs
You can use them to scale the patern till you get the proportion you need

No. If you look at the pattern, there is an L inside the cutout of the liner portion. These patterns only work when you scale everything. In the case of the tongue, I had to cut mine down a touch, so I'd suggest printing this 1:1 and see how it sizes up.

I have a major question. Who even makes the Nike Mag V2s?

Usually its one factory making these knockoffs.Other factories then borrow the moulds and reuse the soles ala the Halloween versions.

HC soles, where do they come from ? That's all I'm looking for to finish my Mags. Is there a place to get only the soles ? :-(

You need mid-soles as well as outer soles?

 

[prime3446]

So that L on the template ? cavx

 

[RVLF]

The entire sole :/

Safest bet is HalloweenCostumes, $100 and basically same as the V2 sole with slight differences (i think the heel cup is a tad bit different) And they're legit so you won't get scammed. The worst case scenario is they have a size out of stock.

As for the V3's, we'd be better off finding people to do the following:
-3D modelling Ankle Buckle, Heel cup, Midsole, Outsole, Heel Decals
-Printing in various sizes
-Molding, Casting in various sizes (painting the molds so the casts would be correct color after curing)
-Sourcing grey fabric in bulk
-Sourcing best materials for upper construction
-Assembling the upper in various sizes
-Lights and Wiring

Then in a group effort, sell all as a kit and the buyer just installs the lights, glues the decals to the heel cup, the heel cup to the midsole, and the midsole to the clear sole. Then runs the wires inside the upper and attaches the strap to the ankle buckle, then finally glues the upper to their assembled and lit up sole and heel cup.
I totally bet we can do this before seeing a V3, and even this would take years to pull together.
