Re: Nike McFly's - It's About Time - VIDEO!
One of the problems I noticed with the design on Mark's shoes is the part of the upper where the strap is SUPPOSED to rest against is too short, which is why the strap on his shoes sits lower, thus creating that 'flaring' of the upper's wings.
When I wear my Mark Poon replicas, I try to keep the strap as high up as possible to keep the wings from flaring out and it works - it really makes a HUGE difference in how his replicas look while being worn.
You could also try removing the yellowed clear rubber parts and having new ones cast in clear - maybe a total resculpt. Mark's shoes have a raised block pattern, where the real shoes have a recessed "waffle" pattern.
I can send you a clay impression of my Mags when they come if you want something to go off of.
Yep. Already been thinking about that.
